This song means soooo much to me. Bridge Over Troubled Water was the theme song at my 1971 High School graduation at Booker T. Washington in New Orleans, Louisiana. My sister and I graduated together. She was a teen mom but proudly graduated with hopes of becoming a nurse Two years later she and her two year old son were killed in a head on collision. I was 3 days from my delivery date but proudly graduated and have earned a Masters Degree. We practiced the song for weeks before graduation. Bridge Over Troubled Water has sooo much meaning to me. I TRULY LOVE the song.❤
O, so sorry for your loss, I am a 1970 of Booker T Washington here in Montgomery Al,my only baby girl came into this world in 1972, congrats to you ,I love this song also,a message ,trulyBe ever so Bless
I remember, back when I was a very, very young child...Aretha Franklin was the rave...she was bigger than Whitney Houston and her music was in heavy rotation. The song that hooked me was: Chain, Chain, Chain...Chain of Fools. Of course, I was not able to understand what the song was about, but I was diggin' that hook: chain, chain, chain. (LoL). She was embedded in my memory from the start and I pray that she is greatly rewarded for what she did, through her long career, as not only a singer, but a pianist, to bring smiles and comfort to so many. (We have Eternal Love for you Aretha; rest in peace Queen)....btw, I am a song-writer and background singer. I learned a lot by first attentively listening to and then blending in with MANY singers, like her background singers, over the years. I was not raised up in a gospel musical family, but I was introduced to it by singers like Aretha, which lead me to others like Sam Cooke and the great one: Thomas Dorsey, from right here in Chicago. Well, as you can tell, I'm long winded...lol. I just wanted to say thank you for reminding me just how blessed we were to have Aretha in our lives. T.y. for this selection: Bridge Over Troubled Waters. Peace.
Thank you sir for your talent. I hear you and all this songs is a remarkable memory of her and others artists. But nobody can replace Aretha Franklin voice lol and you say that right about chain chain chain chain a fool.😂🤣👍🏾❤ i love that song.and natural woman, i love singing her hit song which is all of them.. now they all are up in heaven smiling and singing and my late mom and dad is with them all. God bless you sir. 👍🏾✌🏽💕💞🙏🏽
This Lady of Soul will never be forgotten. I was loving the Chain chain chain song also. Her piano skills were something else! I also loved "Daydreaming." Her voice was like no other. It reminds me of Gospel Music. I can go on and on. She was a genius!
How can she be bigger then whitney Houston when Whitney wasn't even on the scene yet??. Lol. When Whitney broke out she ended everyone's reign and careers
Aretha was a great gift from our Creator, and I truly Thank Him! Her music blesses me no matter what mood I’m in, there’s a song from Aretha to comfort. I will forever love and miss you my Sister. RIP 😢
This is vastly different from Paul & Al's version. Aretha took this song to church and it was never the same again - once that magnificent voice SANG those lyrics you hear and feel a touch of heaven. ❤ No one will ever come close to doing it as great as this.
I used to play this song in my room volume on full blast, my Father would grab his chair and sit by my window, his head down enjoying his beer. He taught us beautiful music and now it is the only music we resonate with. May your soul continue to rest in peace Tate❤️❤️
Bridge over troubled water is sooo touching to my soul. I keep listening to it over and over and singing right alone. It touches my soul with the holy spirit. I can't get through it without shouting and praising him, oh what a blessing and what an anointed voice Mrs A.Franklin had, a gift from GOD
Dear God, I pray that the person reading this will be strengthened with all Your glorious power so that he/she will have all the endurance and patience needed to navigate the life.. May they be filled with joy, always thanking you, guide their faith in you. In Jesus Name. Amen
The depth of this song is so remarkable. It truly describes my wonderful mother. My father, her husband, was a remarkable man. He was a highly decorated officer and fighter pilot. Al black man that achieve greatly in this world. Face much opposition because of his color. He stood strong as a black man. He was a true hero. This song underscores the woman who backed him. She was his friend. Still, waters ran deep with her. To help him cross those troubled waters. They have passed. I thank God to have those two parents in my life. Halelujah!
My grandma passed in 2015. When I go through hard times, I listen to the song she wanted sung at her funeral. ❤ It hurts alot but I know she wants me to be the best me, i can be ❤😇
My how the world has changed and not at all for the better. I’m so happy that I was a part of the “good days” when people were kind and cared about one another. ❤️
We are reaching back and pulling you 5:35 up peoples, you stood that line, layed down a line, blocked every crack and break in that line with yourselves,we love you so much, it was not for nothing, we’re going to be okay now! We love that you were always there for us! We have always been here for you too ! Glad we got to be on the planet at the same time! Never alone!❤
I think of my mom when I hear this. My mom is 79 years young and this makes me think of mom raising me and my and sister. Single mom raising two kids on the west side of Chicago! Making those sacrifices to put food on the table, clothes our backs, teaching us right from wrong, keeping a clean home, helping us with our homework, praying to God!! She did the damn thing!! I have a soft spot in my heart for those single moms staying in the fight and not giving up!! She's my mom and I love her dearly!! I cherish now when I see her and we sit and talk as mother and son and you know what, if something is troubling me...she knows!! But she doesn't pry. She says, 'you're my son, I know if something is bothering you, but you're a grown man and I know you'll work it out". I hug my mother when our visit is done and I'm leaving, man, that mother's hug!! Yeah!
Aretha embodied out collective souls, joy and sorrow .Through her songs we discovered ourselves that no matter the hurt , we were as still capable of laying ourselves down like the " bridge over troubled waters" I'm of an an advanced age but her songs cut through the fog. R.I.P sister A. F
i miss those days when everything was genuine and true ,may her soul rest in peace. i call this real music because even in 40 yrs to come such songs will still rock that particular generation.
My mother introduced me to Aretha Franklin when I was a little girl in the sixties and I have loved her ever since. I love Chain of Fools and Rock Steady and all the gospel songs. My mother is no longer alive but I can find her in the songs of Aretha.
Every time I would see Queen Mother Re in concert she would always sit down and tickle them ivories while singing this tune… To this day I’ve still never heard anyone play the keys like that 🎹 or sing 🎤 this particular song quite like our Queen does… This is why she is the Undisputed Queen of Soul 👑 and in my eyes she will always be the greatest vocalist to have ever walked this earth 🌎 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 GOD bless the legacy and the music of our Queen Mother 👑👑👑
I will always love theQueen Mother of music My mother went toBalptist Conventiion to perform on lwas Aretha age l enjoyed it so much May God Bless Aretha and my Mom the late Frances MooreTwo Song Birds that inspired me God isMarvelous
I shocked at how many people don't know that Aretha plays the piano on this song. I read some comments on the live video and many people were surprised to see her playing the piano.
My Darling Husband died 2 weeks ago, funeral on 24/07/24, this will be played whilst a collage of his face, photos of myself and him, our son, his mum, sister and brother. I always remember the first time I saw Martin's face, it was love at first sight. RIP my darling❤❤❤
My husband, Reginald has gone on to glory ... I listen to Al and realize "true, unconditional love." He loved me and I loved him. Ohhhh, the memories we shared after meeting at Tuskegee University in 1970. Married for 48 years ... he was my Mister. DBaldwin-Brown
This song gives me so much Peace!! I agree...there should be so many more comments here. The Queen of Soul makes my heart smile so big and bright. Her voice is unmeasurable!! We miss you Aretha!! Rest Well Queen. 💞💞💞
Wow, it took me over 50 years of saying I don’t like this song, until today: my brother died of 20 plus years and my mother would play this back to back, thank you Jesus, these words brought her comfort, even through the millions of tears she cried! I know understand ❤
Such a heartfelt tearful story. I always wondered was there a part 2 to the first “Teddy Bear “ Southernairs Song. Heartbreaking 💔 but so inspirational! God bless those truckers, momma’s bear and her friend , most of all the beautiful spirit of lil crippled boy Teddy Bear🙏🏿
Wow I so remember this song it always touches the depth of my soul and brings me to happy tears. Grew up on Aretha. She will never die as long as we keep playing her timeless music💜🎤🍷🎧😊🌹
I am here in 2024 still listening to the Queen of Soul, the late great Aretha Franklin. A big fan from the beautiful, tranquil Islands of The Bahamas 🏝️🌅🏖️🇧🇸
THE GREATEST.....FEMALE SINGER.......FOREVER...........!!!!! I REALLY MISS HER ON TV - CONCERTS.........SAW HER SO MANY TIMES.......ALWAYS GREAT....!!!!
This song is so touching!! It don't get no better than this!! BLESS you my sister! My god we are so blessed to still be able to here blackness in the lovely voice of our queen!!
The saxophone at 4:19 builds the tension, then at 4:37 in her live performances is where the back and forth with the musicians the background vocals and her singing and piano playing probably went on for another 5 or 6 minutes. Had to be there!
My first time hearing this version and I'm blown away. What utter talent she had! I hope you're resting well on the other side Aretha, you certainly earned it!
I Truly "Felt" & needed to hear this tune this morning🌞& Aretha Franklin is certainly the Women who can touch my spirit with the way she makes a song go,i mean,she gives those words "real life," & i always "feel" those words when Aretha's singing,& i wish to give so Much Gratitude for sharing with us❤ To everyone🌝 here,I'm hoping that you all enjoy a truly Blessed day💕🌈💯
I love this song.My mom just pass May 13th 2022 this year.I say moma no more bridges to cross.No more trouble waters to cross.You're safe sleep peacefully my child of God.I still mis her and cry by myself listing to this song.But no more trouble waters and no more bridges to cross.
Every night on a local radio station in Montréal they play this powerful song and every night it gets me , thank you Miss Aretha Franklin. I need this in my life .
Comments are important for I listened for the 1st time to this thrilling version of my favourite song with thorough pleasure. However the comments which emphasized the piano intro & other details encouraged me to examine WHY I'd enjoyed it the1st time making the next listen even more thrilling. Thank you for deepening the joy I experienced (while listening repeatedly )because of your candid respectful comments!
Absolutely gorgeous knocks the original out in my opinion. I love you all ever much, if we live another day or decades to come nothing is better than music at it's finest let us remember💜🙏☮️
This a great song and my lady Aretha has given it her soul to it but never took the original soul out of it Its has very powerful lyrics but no one can deliver the Simon & Garfunkel version. You're talking about two I mean three great genuine artists. I feel you though. Aretha moves my soul like no other artist.
With good music don’t like are irrelevant because everyone doesn’t understand where the song is coming from…..she was born with a soulful voice and it touches those who understand it❤…rih queen
The arrangement of this song is amazing, the lyrics, instruments and the backing is superb let alone the voice of the Queen of Soul, every year in March 13, l play this song thinking about my eldest daughter's labor and l gave birth the following day.
Madre de Dios 😭😭 no se puede aguantar tanta belleza, so sooooo soooooo beautiiiiifuuuuuuul ♥️❤️❤️❤️. I want crye 😭😭😭😭From Spain. MUCH LOVE WORLD 🌍♥️🌍♥️🌍❤️
Bridge over trouble water, Aretha Franklin 2024 still love it 💕
This song means soooo much to me. Bridge Over Troubled Water was the theme song at my 1971 High School graduation at Booker T. Washington in New Orleans, Louisiana. My sister and I graduated together. She was a teen mom but proudly graduated with hopes of becoming a nurse Two years later she and her two year old son were killed in a head on collision. I was 3 days from my delivery date but proudly graduated and have earned a Masters Degree. We practiced the song for weeks before graduation. Bridge Over Troubled Water has sooo much meaning to me. I TRULY LOVE the song.❤
O, so sorry for your loss, I am a 1970 of Booker T Washington here in Montgomery Al,my only baby girl came into this world in 1972, congrats to you ,I love this song also,a message ,trulyBe ever so Bless
I am sorry for your loss. Your story touched me. May your sister's memory be a blessing!
So sorry, may their souls rest in peace amen 🙏🏾

How can she be bigger then whitney Houston when Whitney wasn't even on the scene yet??. Lol. When Whitney broke out she ended everyone's reign and careers
The piano section in the beginning sounds more beautiful each time that I listen to it.
Bobby I listen to her song all day long
That was Aretha playing the intro
Pure love
And that organ floating underneath, her singing, the backing vocals... Beautiful arrangement all round
Amen to that‼️
Paul Simon wrote this song for Aretha ... Her soul soars on this one...❤❤❤
2 geniuses of song.
NO, he didn't.
Amen

She is with you always no matter what. Smile when you feel her near because that is what she would want. ..your happiness❤
The original song by Simon & Garfunkel is a already masterpiece. What Aretha Franklin created out of that song is just mind blowing!
Aretha takes us all STRAIGHT to the Kingdom with this one. NOBODY could touch 'Re-Re' in her prime. NOBODY. Rest in Peace Queen. Miss you so much.❤❤😢

I had the same type of Mom but we lived on the South Side of Chicago, and She just turned 80 in January.
You are so blessed to have a beautiful woman of God for your mother your comment tell the story of real love from a real mother ❤❤❤
Queen Aretha bridged this one all the way back to her church roots with effortless perfection, as usual.
Aretha embodied out collective souls, joy and sorrow .Through her songs we discovered ourselves that no matter the hurt , we were as still capable of laying ourselves down like the " bridge over troubled waters" I'm of an an advanced age but her songs cut through the fog. R.I.P sister A. F
i miss those days when everything was genuine and true ,may her soul rest in peace. i call this real music because even in 40 yrs to come such songs will still rock that particular generation.
Feeling it in 2023. Thank you Aretha for this gem. I think it will live on as long there is electricity to pump this into my mind.
This song has been with me during some of the hardest times in my life.. Praise God.. The Queen of Soul..
My mother introduced me to Aretha Franklin when I was a little girl in the sixties and I have loved her ever since. I love Chain of Fools and Rock Steady and all the gospel songs. My mother is no longer alive but I can find her in the songs of Aretha.
Thanks Suzanne!
Kudos to the writers and musicians who Arethafied it and Aretha for bringing it home.
Love that term, Arethafied it. Just found her cover of Let it Be and realized how much I loved it more than the orignal....
Beautiful lady in voice and soul …just a beautiful soul gone before us ..Detroit strong
This song came when I was so weak. This song makes me remember that I still have a way in God. I believe she is really happy in heaven
Amen feeling every bit of the presence of the Lord Yeshua☝🏾🙌🏽
Beautiful song Aretha sang this song.Yesss when u are down it hurts but God is awesome no matter what u going through 🙏.This song 💕 is beautiful.

I love that, thanks for sharing. Good to learn new things. 8)
And she learned to play by ear. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
What an incredible artist she was. Such power, such musical depth, and a soul that will continue speak to generations yet to come❤️!
Thank you Aretha. Thank you Paul. Thank you God!
This is one of the "Best combination of instruments ...then the voice"...then the Lyrics...
I love this... SUPERB.🔥🔥
This is music at its finest even this new generation can adore Aretha ❤
This song is a masterpiece.
OMG this is pure heaven. Thank you Aretha and Paul for being in my life.

ARETHA IS PLAYING THAT PIANO WITH EVERYTHING IN HER!!!! My mom played this over and over. Of course, I didn’t understand then but I do now.❤
My husband, Reginald has gone on to glory ... I listen to Al and realize "true, unconditional love." He loved me and I loved him.
Ohhhh, the memories we shared after meeting at Tuskegee University in 1970.
Married for 48 years ... he was my Mister.

The saxophone at 4:19 builds the tension, then at 4:37 in her live performances is where the back and forth with the musicians the background vocals and her singing and piano playing probably went on for another 5 or 6 minutes. Had to be there!
Queen of soul with such a powerful anointing on her voice to uplift and heal the troubled soul ❤.
"I love,love love this rendition"❤️

Every night on a local radio station in Montréal they play this powerful song and every night it gets me , thank you Miss Aretha Franklin. I need this in my life .
She was sososo sososo sososo pure
No words.......from HER VOICE to GOD'S ears......
God this version is so beautiful 😭
Comments are important for I listened for the 1st time to this thrilling version of my favourite song with thorough pleasure.
However the comments which emphasized the piano intro & other details encouraged me to examine WHY I'd enjoyed it the1st time making the next listen even more thrilling. Thank you for deepening the joy I experienced (while listening repeatedly )because of your candid respectful comments!
My sister introduced me to Aretha Franklin songs when I was still a little girl ,I have lived her ever since.
Absolutely gorgeous knocks the original out in my opinion. I love you all ever much, if we live another day or decades to come nothing is better than music at it's finest let us remember💜🙏☮️
This a great song and my lady Aretha has given it her soul to it but never took the original soul out of it Its has very powerful lyrics but no one can deliver the Simon & Garfunkel version. You're talking about two I mean three great genuine artists. I feel you though. Aretha moves my soul like no other artist.
@@ruthiemspangenberg3363 I love both. There is always something special about an original recording
With good music don’t like are irrelevant because everyone doesn’t understand where the song is coming from…..she was born with a soulful voice and it touches those who understand it❤…rih queen
Aretha Franklin's Muzic is very Charizmtic, very Conforting and so Consoling & indeed Loving ❤️. A God given Legend.
Aretha at her very best on this track!❤❤❤
The undisputed Queen of Soul : Aretha Franklin !

I ❤ this song so very much
The arrangement of this song is amazing, the lyrics, instruments and the backing is superb let alone the voice of the Queen of Soul, every year in March 13, l play this song thinking about my eldest daughter's labor and l gave birth the following day.
You're right, incredible musicianship and emotion from everyone on this beautiful cut.
This truly takes me back to when music was about real meaning and had substance to go with it,thanks for taking me down memory lane.😊
