Just came for that note...you know the NOTE...the one that made Darlene Love forget she was singing background on TV and made her think she was in the church choir. Aretha raised the octave and the hairs on everybody's arms. THE QUEEN
Darlene gave an interview years ago and talked about this very performance and mentioned how Aretha moved her and the other singers as well as the band.
This performance always blows me away. It's just the power behind those upper belts...... Very few can do it and make it sound like a bell ringing. Perfection.....
Darlene Love is alive & well at 80yrs old and have the Nerve to still look so Good. She's beautiful. Here she in her Music Video in 2015 at 72yrs young performing _"Forbidden Nights"_ while *_driving a Convertible people._* ua-cam.com/video/X4915gjpFEo/v-deo.html
@@latinguy67 I figured it was her. She was a regular on the show. It's unbelievable to see that much talent on the same show. And they all end up doing covers as well!
I saw Darlene Love in an interview (years ago now) and she talked about this performance and how all of the musicians and other singers enjoyed and praised the young Aretha for her vocal skills and talent.
@@MrErnieFaison It was back in the eighties and I believe Darlene was on David Letterman talking about the most memorable parts of her (Darlene's) long illustrious and influential career.
@@saintjay8058it is impossible to belt without mixing with no strain. Aretha mixed too, she sang with a balanced mix which is why she never sounded shouty or light, her belts were perfectly balanced.
My cousin was there when they recorded this on that day , but at this time we really didn't know too much about her because she hadn't really blown up yet, she was still in a small league at this time this was what was going to open the doors up for her to becoming the legend that she became, my cousin said that she sounded amazing during the recording live. I can only go by what I hear on this clip, but live... can you imagine?
The beautiful Darlene Love got the spirit. Jesus take me now because I've been to the mountain top of soul 🙏🎶🎼💙. I saw Aretha with the GREAT Temptations. That's the day the music died for me. The Great 👑 of soul sang 2 songs & we looked @ each other my best friend Frank his sister LOVELY CARMEN & my cousin Cindy. Were were 16 & 17. We had never heard of Aretha & We were the only white people there but when we left. WE HAD SO MUCH SOUL WE COULD NOT CONTROL. WITH ALL DUE RESPECT. Arnold Bourbon Amaral. P.S. Like my Dad 👴would say music has no boundaries. 💙💐🌍🌎🌏👱💇🙆👨
😱OMG‼️ ARETHA what an amazing voice! Darleen Love felt the spirit as Aretha let loose. Sometime you just have to let go and let God!! RIP THE QUEEN OF SOUL-Aretha Franklin!!!
@@cedrickharrell5291 Darlene Love. Shes in that group the Blossoms. Major girl group. Darlene is royalty in the business. Her sister is Edna Wright of the Honey Cones and COGICS(Andrae Crouch first group)
@@cedrickharrell5291 She has sung background for almost every artist in the business in the 60's and 70's. She used to come on the David Letterman Show every year and sing her Holiday Classic, "It's Christmas( Baby Please Come Home". Also, contrary to popular belief, Miss Darlene Love is the TRUE God-mother of the late Miss Whitney Houston.
Good GOD from Zion!!!! Beautiful, poised, classy, feminine, and that voice!!! The music was superb, the energy, and the it looked like a goid time!!! The Queen!!
I believe that's Billy Preston playing piano, and my favorite guitar player James Burton is playing guitar. Burton played the jangly guitar on all those Ricky Nelson singles.
*Thank goodness **_Betty Everett_** made this Song a #1 Hit in 1964.* It didnt' chart the year before with Merry Clayton. *It's been Recorded by dozens of artists and groups around the world since.* I love hearing it. Every Artist has their own rendition of this song and it's all good. Some way better than others. *_Love Aretha's and Cher's._*
To those IDIOTS, who deal with a video's aidio, and replace it with a 'clean' digital track, and post it - pushing its 'HQ' sound, THIS is FAR better. Yes, it might be mono, yes, it's not pristine, BUT; Jess REAL, and the energy you get, from the audience, and the awesome work provided by the Blossoms (who are NOT the backup singers I the record), is SO much better than listening to 'prefect' digital audio from a recordibg, which you've racked on. I know I'm not alone in both loving Ms Franklin's great performance (and that of the Blossoms, 'natch). THIS it's AWESOME
Absolutely love Darlene Love's reaction while Aretha is getting into the meat of the song at the tail end. Thank you posting that as is one of the best versions of that song
Does ANYONE REMEMBER that EPISODE of TINY TOON ADVENTURES when they had BABS (the female rabbit) sing RESPECT by ARETHA... they even had ARETHA on the COVER of the CASSETTE TAPE she listened to ❤
If my people had beginning to use their amazing gifts collectively from a long time ago instead of complaining all the time who can imagine how great we could've been as a race and people.
The way the back up singer reacted to the note Aretha hit...!The mic didn't have the technology to record the extent of a Aretha's voice. Unfortunate for us now

Is that Darlene Love?! Amazing!
1:40 Darlene was background singer, fan, hype girl, audience member and spectator all at the same time without missing a beat. 😂😂😂
Darlene was like, BISH YOU BETTER SANG!! Young, Gifted and Black...and beautiful! Rest in peace Queen!
Yessssssssss liiiiiiiike......
Stop being ignorant and ghetto.
"And black" lol keep having a chip on your shoulder
Darlene FELT that note!! Whew. Ree was SANGING!
I love when background singers get shook. Only happens with the best
That one backup singer in the middle is genuinely blown away!
that's Miss Darlene Love. She's a legend herself.
@@latinguy67 I figured it was her. She was a regular on the show. It's unbelievable to see that much talent on the same show. And they all end up doing covers as well!
@@latinguy67 yeah, those other two women are members of her girl group The Blossoms

Yessssssssss... Even the band was feeling it. They was dancing too
Would love to see that interview.

Here it is...

Amazing how she's singing this song naturally easy.
My mom used to say "she fried that note in some crisco!"
one of the all time best 'shindig!' performances! i love how darlene love gave aretha mad props for her singing!
marshamc that's my favorite part.
Oh, damn! Aretha & Darlene ( 'Smiley') on the same stage?! Well, KAA- BOOM! 🎼 Stand back !!
it's absolutely adorable....
Nobody did this better than Ms. Aretha Franklin...she SANG that baby. That's what them Black Baptist Gospel Roots will do to you.🥶🥴🙌
You betta chirp, Queen! Darlene felt that note and so did i... Rip Queen of Soul!
At 1:40
I love that her notes are not shouty like some singers, she is sangiiing period!
Mhm Aretha could naturally belt that high vs singers now that try to mix there chest and head voice
@@saintjay8058it is impossible to belt without mixing with no strain. Aretha mixed too, she sang with a balanced mix which is why she never sounded shouty or light, her belts were perfectly balanced.
Aretha AND Darlene ('Smiley'), at the same time, in the same song?! -- ' Ain't No Way, ' 🎵 -- Christ, the Talent just blows thru!
Aretha at 1:37 ❤️ and Darlene 1:42 feeling the soul
We are all Miss Darlene Love when Miss Franklin hits those high notes! Love and props!
Yes talent recognizes talent
1:36 that's real soul they getting ❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😍💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥👌👌👌
She was always in a league of her own
nobody could come close to aretha once she hit her stride. the queen of soul R.I.P legend
Cher😎👍🙏
@@raulgut4030 Child please!! You know damn well Cher's voice was nowhere near on Aretha's level.
Two words Patti Labelle. Patti sliced and diced Aretha with her own song with "Ain't no way".
PATTI SCREAMS A HIGH NOTE DOES NOT MAKE YOU A SINGER. 😅
Look at baby faced Aretha!!

Technically it wasn't even Betty Everett song. Merry Clayton originally did it

And that's Billy Preston up there on there in the bandstand probably the organ he's playing.
Just sanggggg Aretha .. mama packed a wollop and Darlene reaction sealed it.. loved it!!
Best rock performance I've ever seen. Aretha Franklin shows all the others how it's done.
Love You Aretha Franklin man no one can ever come to your equal.NO WAY NO HOW. she shook my ground as she did Darlene Love.
Live performance.. Live Band.. Great Singers.. That’s Entertainment
God Damn....Re went back to church and Darlene felt the power enter her entire being. SHOOK!

No doubt about it, she smashed this!
great backing band!
A beautiful singer and a delightful interpretation.
The Queen of Soul. Long live The Queen
This, she is delightful. Queen of soul for a reason
Darlene Love felt that!
I believe that's Billy Preston playing piano, and my favorite guitar player James Burton is playing guitar. Burton played the jangly guitar on all those Ricky Nelson singles.
Aretha will always be Aretha
She's was beautiful.
Darline love look like she was about to shout
She sho-nuff actually did!

NICE MS. FRANKLIN
ok, now I wish I heard this many years before. Strange I only knew the Cher version
Aretha's performance was outstanding!!!!
Y'all see Darlene Love up there in the middle on background vocals having the time of her life when Aretha starts to go IN.
How fab to see ReRe giving this song what for and the lovely Darlene Love (centre) on backup vocals..a great coming together of talent😀
1:41 sis in the middle felt that
Wow.
Never knew Darlene sang with Aretha!!
I swear the Blossoms could background for anybody and sound angelic.❤
Aretha and Darlene Love on a song?!? WOW!!!
Absolutely love Darlene Love's reaction while Aretha is getting into the meat of the song at the tail end. Thank you posting that as is one of the best versions of that song
Legend
Does ANYONE REMEMBER that EPISODE of TINY TOON ADVENTURES when they had BABS (the female rabbit) sing RESPECT by ARETHA... they even had ARETHA on the COVER of the CASSETTE TAPE she listened to ❤
The Queen is just a 🎶 🎤 🎵 singer above all singers, what can she not do with that amazing 💝 gift that God gave to her❤❤❤🔥💥💫👑
Darlene Love The Background singer. Is also Whitney Houston's God Mother..
Never been a fan of Aretha, but "the note" is one for the books. #shedidthat
Areta Franklin ! Diana Ross!! Eta James e muitas outras cantoras da Black music vão estar sempre na minha playlist de músicas 👏👏👏👏👏
Such happiness here!
If my people had beginning to use their amazing gifts collectively from a long time ago instead of complaining all the time who can imagine how great we could've been as a race and people.
Inmensa, grande e irrepetible Aretha,!!!,
Looks a lot like glen campbell on bass
I'm here for you know what 🙂🙂🙂
So beautiful!!!!
Darlene also did the backing vocals for the very first recorded version by Merry Clayton as well
Fabulous
WOW!
Beauty!
Killed it.
They all turned at 1:43 from that note and range 😆
R.I.P. 👑
Such a class act...what a woman she was!!
Grandissima Aretha ❤

Yep
01:36 esa potencia!!!
ALL of The Blossoms reacted to Aretha's squalling, not just Darlene.
Uh oh....The Queen of Soul got a hold of it. Don't forget it's Betty Everett's song.
Aretha sang hundreds of covers of other peoples songs, it was super common back then for artists to do that
It's not Betty Everett version is a cover also .Merry Clayton did the original version
muinto bom
Very good...l agree!
Her range was so wide when she was young. No wonder whitney houston loved her , i can hear remnants of this in whitneys later vocals.

Imiss the 8os
It's the mid 60s not the 80s.
Is that Glen Campbell playing bass? (He did when he toured with the Beach Boys, replacing Brian Wilson.)
