We've lost one of our great ones but God does not leave us empty handed. He left us the gifts of memory, love, peace, joy, and sorrow. This lady has truly touched us all at some point in our lives. Her songs are a testimony of that whether it was Gospel, Blues, Jazz, Pop, Rhythm & Blues or Opera. Long live the "Queen of Soul". I only have pleasant memories of the songs that she gave to the world. Amen!
The best version of this song ever, the vocal phrasing, musicianship, the touch and feel in this song blows me away, soul with a capital S. Aretha you were definitely the Queen dear, God rest your soul sweetheart! Clayton
Great comment! In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine in 2018, Stevie Wonder said "When Aretha sings your song, she takes it and you don't get it back." She did it with Otis Redding's "Respect" and with Stevie's "Until You Come Back to Me" and we can definitely add "Bridge Over Troubled Water" to that list.
@@blackironpotrecords1600 Absolutely, Stevie is my all time favorite! I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with him, in 1990, at the Dallas Airport😃
They were tired and went home to finally rest..They worked so hard traveling from state to state, singing..IKR but the left us with all the most beautiful songs, that was sung..We still enjoying it and It feeds my soul..60’s-80’s the VERY BEST DECADES OF MUSIC.. These new ppl can’t sing, they not artistic they didn’t have auto tune..They went in that studio and one or two takes and that’s the song..If I wasn’t for them, these so called stars couldn’t be able to go and play music anywhere in the WORLD..This is the music that touches the soul...What’s going on, should be playing on everyone car, house speakers, because Marvin wrote it 3-4 decades and the same shit happening in the USA....Young man you are so correct in your statement. Who’s going to be listening to this music 40-50 years later..Naw u telling men and women, sex, drugs and calling women whores and they accept that BS..No one with any respect would buy or dance to that BS. pants hanging off your ass, I see ur whole behind is seen..That’s crazy, that stated in JAIL.. we all know what happens in jail..Put a belt on and I better not every see your ass in underwear’s...ppl have literally lost their minds..
@@sexylexie Great observations. Even with all of the turmoil of the decades you mentioned (60s - 80s) many artists in different genres often tried to have a positive infuence considering those were some of the most turbulent times in our county's history.
@@blackironpotrecords1600 Amen, their personal lives were in shambles but they were praying for a brighter day. They have it made these day and they make asses out of themselves. Most of those artist couldn’t stay or eat at the places they sung in..just imagine how that makes a person feel inside. I just wish this younger generation could just wake up and see they have so much to offer but ALWAYS COMPLAINING…..
The emotions conveyed through her voice and playing seemed as if it was the soul of the ancestors being expressed through this extremely gifted lady. They got it right when they named her the "Queen of Soul."
Very well said but I feel she was the queen of MUSIC. You could arguably say there were a few that were as good but none better than this lady regardless of genre. Thanks for your reply
😭😭😭😭Aretha! You are missed. You embodied the"Black American Women's Movement. Thank you! So much for the great body of work you and so many like you have left behind. Rest in eternal blissful peace.😪😪😪😪😪🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Singing from the soul of humanity itself, her voice was connected to divinity, nobody comes close and this is one of so many examples that conclude that all other singers eat the crumbs that have fallen from the Queens table and trail in her glorious wake.
I doubt Orson Welles could've stated such respect for the great Aretha Franklin any better than that. She will always be the Queen and rightly so Mark.
Black Iron Pot Records Don’t forget, Welles scared the entire nation at one point. I’m listening to different covers of this song, they do the original justice, and truly come creepily close to the 81’ Central Park performance of this song from Art Garfunkel (bandmate of Paul Simon, who wrote this song originally). I’ve done Elvis and Aretha, and both are creepily equal to the original, but it doesn’t top it in my opinion.
Mark Drinkwater: Very true and maximum respect is due in a copious amount she always makes me cry and get so emotional!! But where do you place Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight, and the insane Patti Labelle,!!!... not to mention Melba Moore etc and list goes on it is too long!! But, alas there’s a singer called Mahalia Jackson, I need not say no more, I rest my case. Just Mahalia Jackson, Mahalia Jackson... not of this world!!
When I first heard this thought she had some great piano player playing for her on this song. Then saw a video of it and realised that that she was the piano player ! A very talented musician. Not just a wonderful voice.
An eternal classic sung in a wonderful soulfully sweet and gospel enhanced manner as only the queen of soul can. Truly outstanding vocal performance. 🌍💯💐🌷🎧🎤🎹🎷✌️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tu me manques tellement ! Mais je me contente de ton legs pour l'humanité , tes œuvres grandioses qu'on ne saurait qualifier. Rest in peace ,the Queen.

Aretha Sundays please. Let's do Auntie proud!
You could say she took a lot of songs to "church."
This song brings a pain from deep in my soul that I can't explain.
Same with me. I don’t know what it is.
I guess that's why they call it soul...it comes from deep inside
Sad our real singer's are passing. God bless. Love this song.
So true. Thankfully their works and legacies remain. Aretha put her unique flavor on this great Simon and Garfunkel classic.
They were tired and went home to finally rest..They worked so hard traveling from state to state,
singing..IKR but the left us with all the most beautiful songs, that was sung..We still enjoying it and
It feeds my soul..60’s-80’s the VERY BEST DECADES OF MUSIC.. These new ppl can’t sing, they not artistic
they didn’t have auto tune..They went in that studio and one or two takes and that’s the song..If I wasn’t for
them, these so called stars couldn’t be able to go and play music anywhere in the WORLD..This is the music

Thanks for this special song for me
Glad you enjoyed the video Robert.

Great observation and comment. It's appreciated that your comment was posted on what would have been Aretha's 80th birthday.
@@blackironpotrecords1600 Oh, really? thanks! Where is it?
@@blackironpotrecords1600 Were the backup singers her sisters?

RIP Queen you will miss deeply
Aretha was special. She's the undisputed Queen of Soul.
RIP Queen 👑
There was only one Queen of Soul. This song is only one example of her tremendous gifts.
When I first heard this thought she had some great piano player playing for her on this song. Then saw a video of it and realised that that she was the piano player ! A very talented musician. Not just a wonderful voice.
Wake up
She learnt to play the piano by ear when she was a child
Mon dieu c'est bien de passé une journée merveilleux Aretha écouté une mélodie de musique propre . merci ar
Oui. La bonne musique est comme la médecine car elle apaise l’âme.
An eternal classic sung in a wonderful
soulfully sweet and gospel enhanced
manner as only the queen of soul can.
Truly outstanding vocal performance.

Not too many covers surpass the original version, but this is a thousand times better!
Stevie Wonder once said "Aretha takes your song and she won't give it back" 😀 I agree. Paul Simon wrote a great song. Aretha took it to another level.
Stevie was right!@@blackironpotrecords1600
Nuff! This is going to be the last song for my homecoming!
