    People forget that Aretha was a damn good pianist. That's why she could ad lib such crazy runs and always stay with the harmony and never lose the melody. Easier said than done. She was a complete musician.

      To Mr. Jerry Arispi, like Bro. Ray and Stevie Wonder, although not blind, she played with feelings, and by ear (sound), that's why she never lost a note, or harmony as she sang or played, truly an extraordinary original, geniuses,and another legend in her own time. Thank you for sharing your God given gift with us all.
      , and by ear, (sound).

Aretha can SANG any genre of music (Gospel, R&B, Soul, Pop, Rock and Opera and others that are not mentioned) and it can touch your soul like never before, this is why she is The Queen of Soul. When I heard this rendition of "I will always Love you" I cried even more. Rest in peace, Queen Aretha Frankin.

    It's just mind-blowing that a whole level of talent is gone within years of each other: Michael.. Whitney...and Prince. I was born in the 50s, so all the artists from 60s, 70s, and 80s are in my genre and are still performing with a few gone in their youthfulness like Phyllis Hyman..Vesta..Natalie Cole, Luther..who it would have been cool to watch and experience growing older with their talent.
    The 3 that are gone -- it would have been something to see growing older with their talent that you could still experience for that generation to look back on and still enjoy.
    Seems the industry gets behind those who fall under the category of performers more so than those who can come out and sing or play music on par with the singers and entertainers of eras gone by.
    Just my take based on what I see. Seems you can only have one major person and the others just get a turn at bat.. And other performers line up to get their turn for a season... Glad I grew up in the era I did where we had a richness of singers and singing groups and singing bands on display at the same time.. View your parents record collection and the songs being sampled.
    Blessings to all who read this. Stay safe and be watchful and prayerful.

    May I just say how much talent it requires to tell a band member to give you a key and then improvise your way through the song. Aretha should have sang this short rendition at Whitney's funeral. It could of been a new recording in my opinion. She has shades of her younger self in this tribute. Her gospel roots come out nicely.

    I’ve watched this before, but tonight it hit my soul... my heart... deeper than before. I can’t stop crying. I cry for the honor of witnessing Aretha improvise like that. I cry because I miss Whitney. And I cry, because now this clip takes on new meaning... it’s like a little farewell gift from the Queen, letting us know that she’s gone on down the road, but she’ll always love us. My heart still breaks that she’s gone, that they’re both gone. We will always love you Aretha 🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    We should never ever forget just how masterful Ms. Franklin. She literally reworked “I will always love you” to the tune of “The greatest love of all time”
    This family. Whitney, Dionne, Aretha + Cissy Houston. All of these are vocal, musical powerhouses.

    Aretha done this song in her version. And she did it justice. I felt like singing riding along and sang this song in my genre. The best rendition to ever be done. I haven’t sung it like this since. Music can’t be performed at it’s best without passion. I’m not real passionate these days about singing love songs

    I'm gonna call it the blessing of Whitney Houston. She was definitely shinning down on Aretha that night. Especially from 4:06 on, it's like something opened up in her vocal cords and she sounded like her younger self singing this. Phenomenal!

  • @grifitti8477
    @grifitti8477 9 років тому +153

    Aretha has always been a beast on the ivories ...I've always felt her best performances were when she sang while playing piano. I used to love the way Aretha would re-do somebody's song (re-arrange)....smh. Like Otis Redding's "Satisfaction", Beatle's "Eleanor Rigby", Dionne's "I Say A Little Prayer"......and on "Eleanor Rigby", she slayed that piano.

    Ms. ARETHA FRANKLIN is a beautiful soul, and always has been Mr. Ken Wall. She is Whitney godmother. She doesn't need to suck off Ms. Houston fame. She has been famous long before Whitney came on the scene. God rest her soul.

    • @franklinsamuels9255
      @franklinsamuels9255 8 років тому +8

      Gwendolyn, refer Mr. Wall to the song before this one on this compilation titled "Aint no way," in which Aretha sings and is backed up by the most beautiful back-up singing ever, the voice of Cissy Houston, Whitney's mother. Rita mentored Whitney.

    • @theninjacat7200
      @theninjacat7200 8 років тому +8

      thank you for setting the record straight. whitney was ms. franklin's god daughter. In fact, Whitney was criticized for not 'having enough soul' influence in her music when she first started out. So many comparisons were made to Aretha and Miss Aretha is one of a kind. Whitney grew as an artist but Miss Aretha can never be duplicated!

      Whitney could have been a great, but she just about got as good, as her mum and her cousin. Murdered 'I will always love you', as did Aretha. Neither of them got what Dolly was on about with the song. Sorry to have to say, but they both ruined it. Whitney, unfortunately, just became a warbler and a screecher. Poor kid, mixing with the wrong type and the drugs that stopped her.
      I'm an Aretha fan, by the way - by the way back to the early 60s.
