I remember watching this when it aired and when Aretha dropped her mink on the floor I thought to myself she just won LIFE.
Just the fact that you knew Carol King (and knew she wrote it) gives me a lot of respect for you guys. 👍
This brought tears to my eyes, man. She’s one of the few that can do it consistently.
Aretha is the truth.
The. Queen.
These guys are true students. They use charts to track different varieties of music.
Actually, I believe she wrote the music and her partner-a man!-wrote the lyrics. Gerry Goffin.
@@lin2thez341 no
One of, if not THE, greatest voices of all time. She forever will be the Queen of R&B.
This performance was beautiful and Queen Franklin killed it. If I recall Carol was shock to see her because Aretha was sick for a few weeks and almost didn’t make the performance. But I love this type of music that I grew up on.
I believe Aretha was 73 here. She’s definitely a legend and opened so many doors for black female singers
That was what struck me when I first saw this and when I watched it again today, this is a black singer singing in front of a black President at the JFK Center for the Performing Arts. This country has never not been a work in progress, but you can never say progress isn't made. How far we've come, and how far we have to go.
Very necessary. Had to be done. Beyond iconic. I am a middle-aged white guy that grew up in the deep South, and Aretha was just as big a part of my childhood as country and rock. She crossed all barriers and transcended genres. I am convinced that Aretha, Ray Charles, Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder paved the way for me to eventually love the music of Whitney Houston, Anita Baker, Michael Jackson, Prince, etc. I like your plan to share your personal passion and use it to educate. I will be along for the ride.
Yes, I agree and think they have an excellent idea.. Im sure I will learn a lot since I am younger. so that's cool.
Took the words out of me lol
Same here. Well said.
Thank you for sharing this!
Love your comments
Her voice sounds AMAZING. She hadn't lost any of it. Absolutely legendary.
She didn't just sing it, or sang it, she SLAYED it! Amazing woman! 💜💜💜💜
Her producer Clive Davis once said that if Aretha Franklin had not been signed to contract as a singer, he would've made sure she was signed to a contract as a pianist because she played the piano so well.
Carole King's reaction gives me life ❤
I am a Metal Head, I love Gojira, Deftones, Slipknot....but I looked this particular video 100 times and it continues to make me cry. What a Goddess...
True music fan
Same here.
💯
Aretha Franklin was a diva in the best, most glorious and powerful sense of the word. She never lost it. She could do it on a dime if she was called at the last moment. Yes, I'm thinking of the time she filled in for an opera great and just KILLED it. A performer, a diva, a goddess of song. There will never be another like her. I saw the Kennedy Center Honors online that night and cried from how amazing she was.
Watched this performance live. Didn't realize how lucky I was or important it would be. Thanks, guys.
@@miracleace8157 Oh, geesh. Not in person. Just on TV. God, I wish!
How could it be a 1 month comment when this video was uploaded 15 oct. 2018 "o_o" lol
@@deathseverance patrons got a sneak peak
@Jacob Haeberle Respect bro ^^
A Legend. only demand NO Segregated audiences or she wont perform to her death bed
Greetings from Portugal!
Metalhead here but above all, a music aprecciator! And this Lady was/is iconic! (bow)
And giving her all the R.E.S.P.E.C.T. I'm not gonna give you any suggestions to other song to react to.
RIP Aretha. (bow)
faz-me sempre confusão quando as pessoas dizem "sou [metaleiro] mas (...)". boa música é boa música, aquilo que mais ouvimos não importa.
Moonspell!
Only the real legends can make us feel like this! Amazing talent, breathtaking 🙌🙌🙌
Absolute chills!!! ❤️❤️❤️
She killed this performance, legend, Queen 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
This was a tribute concert for Carole King and she was so touched by Aretha playing the piano, not many know that she was an excellent piano player going back to when she was 15. Aretha and Carole were close from the old days of Motown and it really showed in this performance.
I'll take the performance at the Kennedy Center and the difference is the love that was pouring out of her soul for Carole King, it brings tears to me eyes every time I watch it
I just wanted to make sure people know that Carol King wrote the music. Words written by Gerry Goffin. And it was never theirs again after Miss Aretha. Ms King was astounded by the fact she was performing at all. Miss Aretha had been ill by then and not performing much. She was excited and amazed. Love her reaction. And Miss Aretha showed the world her immense and powerful talent. A stunning performance.
Pandora Fox Carol is excellent, but Aretha was a prolific songwriter and pianist in addition to her singing. Yes, Carol and Gerry wrote a beautiful song, but like you said it was never truly theirs after Aretha sang it.
Aretha’s voice had depth. I don’t mean low notes, but the opposite to shallow superficiality. It could soar and she lifted us with it.
She is a 1 in a million, an icon, A legend, never can be duplicated. 100% soul, you have no choice but to feel it!
Can't watch this without tearing up. As much as I enjoy metal , the two greatest albums of all time for me are "I Never Loved A Man ..." and the double live "Amazing Grace". I'm torn up that I never got to hear her live. The Greatest.
As you guys delve into True Old School, don't forget... Jackie Wilson. Little Richard. Fats Domino. Sam Cooke. SISTER ROSETTA THARPE.
Great list!
lamech006 I Never Loved a Man is my favourite.
Woo hooo, Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Damn it man you got a good ear. I'm metal head too but love all kinds of music. If they tackle your list they will have gotten to the roots of rock and roll.
Kind of you to say :) I wish we put more effort into acknowledging and honoring the pioneers. Blind Willie Johnson brought us the growl. Sister Rosetta Tharpe was The Original Guitar Hero. There would be no metal without these legends.
+lamech006 +Ramon I've found that most metal heads are like that. We recognise and appreciate good music and it doesn't matter which genre it is. What matters is quality. Good song writing, great instrumentalists and especially vocalists. It's just that metal has it plenty, which is why we gravitate towards that, but give us great music of any kind and we're happy. Scott Bradlee of Postmodern Jukebox was wondering about why so many metal heads like PMJ. The responses he got were basically "We love good music and you give us that".
The performance was in 2015. She was 73
Very view people have a truly beautiful voice like she had. Not many 20 something year old artists sound this good live . ❤
HER Music Industry career lasted from 1956-2018. Aretha was and is a STAPLE. I remember seeing this and it left me in tears. Aretha never fails. She was 74 years old, the night of this performance.
Ann & Nancy Wilson (Heart) Did Stairway To Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors. OUTSTANDING performance.
tlopes so good! That one makes me cry too, especially when the choir comes out in the hats to pay tribute to John Bonham. ❤️
@@CDO1113 towards the end when Jason looks up towards Heaven....... right in the feels
Boys should do reaction to that live performance of Starway to heaven at the Kennedy Center. for sure
Unfortunately, it seems someone has claimed copy right infringement and YT has blocked it now. Imagine that, Kennedy Center Honors and they can't even show the video. It is still is available on Vimeo though.
That performance was amazing. And if i do recall correctly (its been awhile) Robert Plant looked emotional during it
We are so very lucky to have been able to experience this woman, this phenomenon, this icon in our lifetime. Eighteen or eighty, she always sounds perfect.
One of the greatest performances of the Great Aretha Franklin. Loved loved loved 😍😍😍
I absolutely love this woman. She has one of the best voices of all time. Beautiful inside and out. 💕
What a great voice! Kinda reminds me of Dio in the metal world. His voice was so strong that even in his older days it maintained its awesomeness. RIP to both legends.
Beautiful.
Not gonna lie, I cried a little.
Thanks gents and RIP Aretha
you're lying, Morgan.
The first time I watched that vid of Aretha I cried, her voice is just so incredible, her passion her talent are unmatched. RIP Queen of Soul ❤️
Carole King wrote and put it on her album"Tapestry"but Carole said after hearing Aretha's version ,she made that song hers,it didn't belong to Carole anymore
To have a cover by The Voice of God is no insult to any songwriter.
I love me some Motown!!!! Marvin Gaye, Al Green, the Temptations. Ain’t nothing like a good old fashioned soul.
I think the biggest difference is the amount of blues in their voice. It seems pretty rare that we get a good bluesy soul artist nowadays. The young guys all got the range of the older guys, but they don’t have the same soul.
I would love to see you guys react to some newer soul music like Miguel, SIR and Frank Ocean.
Oh, man. I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for you guys to start doing some reviews on songs and artists that have played a role in your lives. With such a large portion of your audience being primarily metal and country fans who have been helping you explore some of the history and influences in those genres, I assumed that at some point you guys would return the favor and try to spread some awareness of and appreciation for some of the pioneers and greats in R&B, soul, and hip hop. And Aretha is a great place to start doing that.
I hope y'all get the chance to touch on some of my personal favorites like Sly and the Family Stone ("If You Want Me To Stay"), Curtis Mayfield ("Right On For The Darkness"), Bill Withers ("Ain't No Sunshine"), Marvin Gaye ("What's Going On"), etc, etc, etc. But even if they don't make the cut, I'm looking forward to more of these old-school videos. Thanks for doing them, guys! :)
God Bless Ya, Mama, for giving your gift to us every single day! No one person could deliver that Soul like you.
I wish I could have seen you perform live, although I probably would have needed to bring a box of tissues, cuz ya know I would have been crying from how legendary you sounded.
I'm a metal head too, but also love Aretha, as well as so many other r&b artists, most of them in fact. There's no denying beautiful music when you open your mind and soul to it. R.I.P. to the Queen!
Thanks for the Video. R.I.P Aretha!
Please review some Al Green. Otis Redding . Wilson Picket . I love 60s and 70s soul and r&b
Yes!
O-TIS! O-TIS! O-TIS!
!!!MARVIN GAYE!!!
Curtis Mayfield !
Andrew Roberts Curtis would be Superfly!
I had the same reservations as y'all going in to this, but I'll be damned if she didn't have me close to tears by the time that coat was coming off! True legend!
That voice. So warm and strong. Legendary. Beautiful
This is one of the best live performances ive seen in many years. So much respect.
Her voice is just a powerhouse, always has been. Hits like a goddamn falcon punch in all the right places. I will FOREVER have a like for Aretha!
Loving the reaction! She was indeed a great example to all of us....everyone! May she sleep in eternal peace!
I can put it to you like this. When Aretha plays the piano and sings, she makes the songwriter go crazy, an Asian man break down in tears and a US president wipe his eyes. RIP Aretha
Two artists have lived in my everyday playlist for three decades. One is Aretha. The other is Tina Turner. Pure talents whose voices were brilliant to begin with and matured beautifully.
the fact that you guys know your history just make me love you both even more keep it up and please do more segments
A true LEGEND and great at a time when the depth in quality vocalists was very deep ! Along with Gladys Knight she ruled R I P
This is my favorite live performance of anything. She KILLED IT that night. Still get a little teary watching this.
I’m watching this from Detroit. Aretha meant so much to this city. I loved seeing that performance and you guys reacting to it. Total class. Thank you for sharing this.
This performance is one of my favorite videos. It was at The Kennedy Center Honors for Carol King. Aretha performed as a tribute to Carol to thank her for writing the song. And boy did she tear the roof off the place! Great video guys. Glad to hear you will be reaching back to classic R&B! Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Wilson Pickett. Maybe you could even take a look at Jerry Lawson and the Persuasions. Keep up the good work!
A cool fact about her she never sung a song the same way twice. When she was on the blues brothers movie her and cab coloway where the hardest to do scenes with cause of that.
Brings tears to my eyes. I grew up listening to this type of music because of my mother. 🖤
She was 73 years old when she belted out this song. RIP Queen of Soul
Thank you guys for the showing your love of R&B music. The disconnect between the generations when it comes to R&B because of the way we listen to music. there are multiple generations that don't share music with there kids, they put on their head phone and keep it to themselves. Ipod, mp3's beats headphones bumping, keeping all the emotions and reactions to themselves. Not like our parents or myself, couldnt wait to do my house cleaning with the speaker in the window, #freddiejackson, #anitabaker,#melissamorgan, I'm a new sub, and i enjoy what you Brothers do, but I am here for the R&B ALL DAY!!! ALWAYS!!! Keep up the good work.
I’m at the half century mark, as white as I can be, and spent my adolescence in rural southern Illinois listening to the Quiet Storm radio show after the sun went down.
When I met the man who was to become my husband, I introduced him to Luther Vandross, Teena Marie, Sade, Alexander O’Neal, Phyllis Hyman, etc. He grew up knowing & loving Aretha, Ray Charles, The Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder, Dionne Warwick, Diana Ross, Earth Wind & Fire, etc., but didn’t know any of the following generations of R&B.
I could be totally off the mark, but I think the disconnect started in the 80’s, and has only become greater over the decades.
I teared up a little. R.I.P to a legend, Aretha Franklin. I would love to see you guys react to that era of RnB, Soul and Blues. Genres of music i really love. You could do some of my all time favorites like Otis Redding, Etta James, Sam & Dave, Wilson Pickett, Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, James Brown just to name a few.
Same here.
Look anytime Aretha at that piano she getting ready to tear up some stuff. My Lord the Queen lives on in our heart and soul . GBY and Carol King for writing such a beautiful song
Watch RESPECT Aretha had a great voice but as she aged her voice became incredible she was-is a true diva and Icon. And respect to you guys for paying tribute to a legend. Keep up the good work.
She was 72 here and had terminal cancer what alot of people don't know she was an amazing woman
This is one legendary performance, by one legendary woman. 💜✨
Aretha's vocal talent was so amazing that a lot of people didn't realize what an strong pianist she was.
People forget that about Freddie Mercury, too.
Had the privilege of seeing her perform live in the 90's. Blew me away! She was truly the Queen.
The world is a poorer place without Aretha Franklin.
Thank you for this!!
I love what you've covered.
I love the direction you're going in.
And ... I hope you (make that WE) remember to include female artists in the requests!
#arethaforever #lostinvegas
Best female vocalist I have ever seen live.
Unreal.
GOAT she is the bar by which all divas and queens must be judged and measured. Rest in Power
I would love to see you guys do Etta James, I'd rather go blind!
Omg. The second she started singing I started crying. This is so beautiful ❤
This was so awesome! I grew up very blessed by having two very opposite musical styles for my parents. My father was Bluegrass and Outlaw country and my mother was rock and roll and Motown. I'm really excited to see you bring back R&B. Especially the classics! That's the ones that even my daughter who is 11 loves. I have her on UA-cam when she was 2 singing along with Ray Charles's Hit the Road Jack. Love your Channel!
One of my favs - classics never go out of style and this song and Aretha are classics! Thank you!
This song still gives me goosebumps.
Blown away!!! Again... THE QUEEN NUFF SAID!!!!
i remember this performance and seeing it again brings tears to my eyes, just as it did then. she is a legend and there will never be another like her. thanks for paying tribute to one of the greats.
I've watched this Aretha performance dozens of times . I get chills every time. Great song , great performance, great reaction guys. And I'm a middle-aged white dude. Aretha transcends everything. Easily the most powerful voice of my lifetime. Cake - Short Skirt , Long Jacket
Matisyahu - King without a crown ( Live at Stubbs ) next please
Love this! Love the idea! Please Otis Redding!
R&B is one of the best genres and Franklin was an unbelievable artist. You guys should do a video about bittersweet symphony by the Verve , one of the most defining British songs of the 90s
Y’all need to look at the video for when Aretha pinch hit for the opera tenor Luciano Pavarotti last minute . Arguably one of the most famous, beautiful laments in opera Nessun Dorma from Turandot.
I had the pleasure of seeing her multiple times. A true diva-never sang something the same way twice-always interpreting.
Vocally incredible. A fine musician-her work, impact and influence in civil rights in America she shone even brighter.
All hail the Queen
Yes!!! All hail the queen.
Yes! She's a legend, and I get emotional every time I watch this. When she loses her coat, there go the tears. Standing ovation to Aretha, a true queen, giving tribute to another queen, but Aretha's performance here is still more moving than Carole King in her prime.... the feeling she puts into this, even if it's not 'textbook'..that delivery at her age was astonishing and she's a true gift to music. her talent will never be forgotten
Yes bridge the gap!
Marvin Gaye-i heard it thru the grapevine
The Temptations- My Girl
Love music from the 50s and 60s
She did Natural Woman with Celion Deon, Mariah Carey, Shania Twain, and a few others you should check out. Its amazing.
This brought tears thinking about such a huge loss to music when we lost Aretha. What an overwhelming performance! Thanks for doing this and it is awesome that you're revisiting R&B and the Gospel that will naturally be included. I hope you'll put Mahalia on here💕
One of the many things I loved about The Queen of Soul's music is how it reached so many people from all walks of life. No matter what race you were born into,when you heard Aretha sing "I never loved a Man" you wanted a gal to love you the way Aretha loved whoever she was singing about. Her music truly brought people people together.
Whatever Makes You Feel Superior by Toehider - The Reason I dropped my police scanner and started listening to music again.
"how do ghost work?" is another outstanding one!
Amazing performance. I know I say this every time but you guys should really use your position to shine some light on the diamonds in the rough. A band that I fell in love with that really needs some more attention is Toehider and a great intro song to them would be Whatever Makes You Feel Superior. Seriously GOOD, Seriously UNDER-RATED.
It's proggy, poppy, emotional, impactful, unique, impressive and quite tongue-in-cheek. I think you guys would really love it.
yup, toehider is incredible. i think "how do ghost work?" is a particularly good one as well
Should be required viewing for all music lovers. She transcends genres, space, time and defies age. Very few people know she sang opera as well but should because listening to her is a gift. Aretha not only caresses notes - she creates space where the notes marinate in your ears as she hangs on to one then jumps to another. Think tarzan swinging on vines at different heights defying gravity - that’s what I hear when I listen to the Queen! Beautiful.
Love Aretha love R&B always have my favorite Aretha song is R E S P E C T YEEESSSS RIP QUEEN OF SOUL!!!
I like this! This is a good way to "close the gap" as you said. Very interested in more closing of the gap! :)
Also, Machine Head - Darkness Within, when you head back to metal. It's a good song!
RIP to the Queen. #RESPECT
For some Modern Soul...
Joe Bonamassa & Beth Hart Official - "I'll Take Care of You" Live at the Beacon Theatre New York
I remember the first time hearing this song. I was about 6 years old and I remember hearing her and getting goosebumps. Rest in Peace Madame. The angels have a new choir director.
She owned her Life .. I RESPECT her always.
You should review Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway etc.
React to Justin Timberlake & Chris Stapleton LIVE at the CMA’s doing their medley of Tennessee Whiskey & Drink You Away. (Especially Drink You Away)!
Speechless... goosebumps... Rih Aretha
3 wooden crosses by Randy Travis! Love you guys and the input you put into every song, be it country, rap, r&b, rock. It’s amazing what you do.
Yall got to do a reaction vid to Run The Jewels.They hot fire!!!🔥🔥
You should react to Louis Armstrongs version of St. James Infirmary
You don’t have to be a R&B fan to love and appreciate Miss Aretha!
I absolutely live for the reactions of the backing singers, especially the lady on the end who is clearly living out her absolute dream and can’t quite believe it the entire time
Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (Live Wacken 2013)
Were about to suggest same :)
Temple of the Dog - Say Hello 2 Heaven
I have asked them to react to TOTD - Say hello to heaven many many times. Hope they get around to it
My Heart, Man, My Heart That voice, just better with age, scotch and gold. That Voice! That Soul!
The greatest performance of all time.👑
