At a lost for words tbh. This is pure artistry at its finest. Her ability to adapt to her voice while still maintaining that true authenticity of SOUL is unparalleled.
Aretha was a Special Gift from above her spirit her soul her person she was our everything in one her Amazing vocal talent and excellent piano style and techniques were just fabulous she could hear and play anything note for note. She was still is and always will be Lady Queen of not only Soul music but Gospel music as well no one could stand up to or against her Astounding talents. May the Queen live on in our hearts and minds forever. RIP my darling Aretha.
I am truly going to miss the extraordinary soul of this lady! What a blessing to have been on the earth during the life of Ms Franklin! May she Rest In Peace in the eternal presence of God!! I’m sure he said to her, Well done my good and faithful servant! This lady gave her life to the art of singing till her last days!!
Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes is an extremely old song. Some say the original tune is by John Wall Callcott from around 1790 followed by a number of other arrangements. But the words were from a poem by English playwright Ben Jonson entitled "To Celia". Aretha Franklin puts her own spin on it. She was so multitalented. A wonderful singer and a fine pianist. May she rest in peace.
Her true talent was in gospel music she dabbed in other music as well as just about all musicans do in a good way.my heart tells me aretha was a good woman.you feel her spirit she just likes to sing.
A bit of Bach in the middle too. She has no rivals, the voice is announced, all other so called singers trail in her wake and eat the crumbs that fall from the Queens table.
Maybe she did get that word wrong but it`s still a beautiful performance . I`m sure you`ve gotten a word wrong at some point just like the rest of us .

Correct. Masterclass in music, she has no rivals.
Out of this world. She knew how to adapt to her changing voice like no one else. Because she was a true musician through and through.

I wonder if she came up with that arangemt or if some musical director did
@@rellenozshe was an amazing arranger. I wouldn’t be surprised if she came up with it herself. She did say “she” was feeling international so maybe.
@@rellenozshe probably came up with the arrangement herself,as she is very creative
I dedicate this song to Megan and Harry .
strange american rendition of a beautiful English song.😆
She gets the words wrong... it's 'wine', not 'thine' - last line of first stanza. Her version doesn't make sense.
Maybe she did get that word wrong but it`s still a beautiful performance . I`m sure you`ve gotten a word wrong at some point just like the rest of us .
@@christhomas5761 What me? Never! Words are my thing . . . award-winning poet, published novelist . . .
@@christhomas5761 Actually, it's far too jazzy for me . . . I prefer the classical renditions . . .
@@elizabethdiamond2159 , Oh I see, how nice for you but you can`t say you have never in your life gotten a word wrong .
