I haven't heard or seen this video in years! It was wonderful and powerful then and now. As the years have passed, and having experienced so much of life's pains, heartbreaks, ups and downs, tears just naturally flowed from my eyes while hearing it because the lyrics are so truthful and because I regard this song as a personal anthem! No one can deliver a soulful, gut-wrenching, heartfelt rendition of this song better than Aretha, with her naturally gifted, anointed voice, imo! The woman was just born to SANG!!! The: G.O.A.T!!!
1:22 The twang in her voice sounds fits her so well. I love it whenever she sings any "awe" or "are" sounds cause her twang really comes out and it's like ear candy to me
i’m in loved with her everything. Love this song and her face expressions. Love the musical arrangements that keeps up with her majestic and unique voice.
That's life, that's what people say You're riding high in April Sitting on the ground in May But I believe I'm gonna change that tune When I'm back on top, yeah in June I tell you that's life and as funny as it may seem Some people really get big kicks From stepping and walking on your dreams But I'm not gonna let it get me down Because this big world of ours is going to keep spinnin' around I've been a puppet, pirate, pauper, Poet, pawn and a queen I've been up, I've been down I've been over, I've been out And I learned one thing That every time I see myself, fallin' flat on my face This is what I do Say get up girl, oh get up girl, oh get back in the race Oh that's life I'm gonna deny it I really thought of quitting once or twice But my heart wouldn't buy it And if I thought it was worth one single try This is what I'd do I'd call American Airlines, get dead on a jet and I'd fly I've been a puppet, pauper, pirate Poet, pawn and a queen I've been up, I've been down I've been over, I've been out And I learned one thing That every time I see myself, fallin' flat on my face This is what I do Say get up girl, oh, listen to yourself oh, get back up in the race Oh, that's life And I'm gonna deny it I really, really thought of quitting once or twice But my heart just wouldn't buy it And if I thought it was worth a single try I'd just roll myself up in one of those big balls And I'd lay right down and I'd ahh
The greatest singer that ever lived. Whitney came close but Aretha in her prime wasn’t nothing like it!! ❤❤
Mahalia Jackson is way better

everything she touched turned into a diamond
I haven’t seen this video in years. At least a decade.

Stone cold singer of singers. No doubt about it.
The genre was of no consequence, the Queen, delivered, and masterfully !
There will never be another. I love all things Aretha. 💐
What Aretha does with that magnificent, otherworldly voice is never less than absolutely amazing
Aretha, got on American Airlines and sung that song with supersonic vocals.
Fantastic!!!💞
Her voice always heals me.
I use to sing this song by Aretha all the time it brings back happy memories.. Aretha Franklin Queen Of Soul..🎵🎤🎹🦋❤️🦋🦋

That's life, that's what people say
You're riding high in April
Sitting on the ground in May
But I believe I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, yeah in June
I tell you that's life and as funny as it may seem
Some people really get big kicks
From stepping and walking on your dreams
But I'm not gonna let it get me down
Because this big world of ours is going to keep spinnin' around
I've been a puppet, pirate, pauper,
Poet, pawn and a queen
I've been up, I've been down
I've been over, I've been out
And I learned one thing
That every time I see myself, fallin' flat on my face
This is what I do
Say get up girl, oh get up girl, oh get back in the race
Oh that's life
I'm gonna deny it
I really thought of quitting once or twice
But my heart wouldn't buy it
And if I thought it was worth one single try
This is what I'd do
I'd call American Airlines, get dead on a jet and I'd fly
I've been a puppet, pauper, pirate
Poet, pawn and a queen
I've been up, I've been down
I've been over, I've been out
And I learned one thing
That every time I see myself, fallin' flat on my face
This is what I do
Say get up girl, oh, listen to yourself
oh, get back up in the race
Oh, that's life
And I'm gonna deny it
I really, really thought of quitting once or twice
But my heart just wouldn't buy it
And if I thought it was worth a single try
I'd just roll myself up in one of those big balls
And I'd lay right down and I'd ahh
