    I was on stage with her in Detroit's old Tiger Stadium in June of 1990 when Aretha The Queen of Soul sang this song. I am in the white suit and can be seen at the end of the song at the 5:50 to 5: 54 mark. I had my trumpet and played behind her and the choir. What a great day that was!

    I love her piano playing. Her style is responsible. It's present complimentary and driving while leading the choir. If she never sang a note I'd buy a record of her piano. Reminds me of my grandma. I ain't gonna say she's better, but she's her and I'll miss piano like I miss Curtis Mayfield guitar.

THE WOMAN WAS CHOSEN WHILE INSIDE HER MOM'S womb TO BE A GREAT SINGER. THE HOLY BLESSINGS WERE ALL OVER HER . THE WOMAN CAN SING GOSPEL, R&B AND I THINK SHE COULD HAVE DONE BLUES AND JAZZ IF SHE REALLY WANTED TO. 💪🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 To her Songs that she shared with her fans.

    Aretha has masterfully spread the gospel of love all around the world; regardless of the various phases of her voice, she's superb in every phase; it is absolutely surrealistic, the spell she casts with her voice, soul, and spirit. I'm thankful to have lived during her reign.
