Thanks for this video it brings back so many memories. I first saw Aretha Franklin in this form as a boy. The red hair and foxy look. When she maintained her weight she was a beauty.
I was 15 in 1976. This film and soundtrack was everything! Loved this album. Bought it with my few pennies back then. Curtis Mayfield was a master at soundtracks and music.
Her voice is timeless. She effortlessly sings her songs live with the same tone quality as the album. Even as her voice changed throughout the years, she maintained that standard. She is truly missed ❤❤❤
I still cry every day. I miss her like a family member! I miss her because she was so messy, and nobody dared to challenge her right or wrong. She was determined to have it her way!
Aretha killed all 3 songs especially when she sung giving him something he can feel. Rest In Peace to the queen of the soul….thanks for posting this milik
George Kirby the greatest impressionist was on the same episode and he told Dinah that Aretha was the only singer he could not do. Aretha did a couple impersonations from the chair as I recall.
I am so absolutely AMAZED that this performance that I thought I would never see again, has just been posted 8 hours ago! My deepest gratitude and thanks to you all for obtaining and posting it! Her GLORIOUS, SPELLBOUNDING vocals BLOW ME AWAY EVERYTIME! THE: G.O.A.T.!!!
I cried when Aretha died. I've loved her and her music since I was a pre-teen. I'm 68 now and I still believe she is still my favorite singer. Rest in Paradise Queen.
@@alexforest1 I always said to myself after seeing so many famous people pass away, that when Aretha Franklin die one day it's going to be a huge deal.. like oh my God!!!!! She was always one of my favorite female singers and I especially love her Arista label recordings, that's my favorite era of music 🎵🎵🎶... my sister loves her earlier recordings. I went to view her after her passing at The New Bethel Baptist Church just before the funeral and yes I just stood there and looked at her and I did feel sad too. yes but she left us with so many memories and recordings to enjoy!! Rest in paradise Queen of Soul
I have never heard a live version of Jump or Look Into Your Heart. She knocked it out of the park and looking oh so FINE while doing it! And shout out to cousin Brenda who was feeling Jump. Now if we could only see the full performance when she did Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing, Angel and Without Love on Dinah Shore.
Wow! Wow! Simply wow!! Aretha’s voice was hypnotic!! My Lord what a vocal gift she had: it’s fluid, raw, reaching powerful ranges effortlessly. Simply stunning!! Wow! Such an attractive woman too-she looks so beautiful on here. She took me away w/Jump. The vocal play was amazing! 🌹
Her high notes in jump remind me so much of the top notes Willa ward had when she sang soprano with the ward singers, it’s something ahout there tone and technique
That voice was on point. WOW. If she would've stop smoking at this point that voice would've got back to original state. I always imagine had she never smoke how big her voice would be.
exactly! it’s such a shame we didn’t have a chance to witness a more natural path of her vocal development. we all know aretha’s life wasn’t that easy which is the reason for chain smoking, and that’s her body after all. but I cannot help but feeling a bit sad every time I think what a once-in-lifetime diamond we all lost with that unique voice. still grateful for what we have 🙏🏼
Nobody had a funk and flow like Aretha! From around 1960-1979 that voice was magic. Smoking and whatever else diminished her gift after that but it’s ok because she had already created an amazing body of work.
Christmas just came early. Ms. Ree was never known for sing it just like the record. She has that sing it how I feel it thing going on. Thanks for this very rare hardly ever seen video. This waa around the time Jimmy Carter waa very popular. Mrs Brenda holding it down for the big girls
The greatest of all time. And that's what every comment should say. I am Endlessly grateful for all the content you bring This is why I have that monthly subscription, cause you feed us like no other sir
OMG thank you for sharing this. I've been searching for this full performance since the late 90s. I remember seeing a clip of "something he can feel" from this performance featured on the "Legends" series VH-1 used to have back in the late 90s/early 2000s, when the channel was strictly focused on music. I'm so happy to finally be able to see the full performance. The Queen looked and sounded Amazing! 🔥 ❤
It's the real "Thang" no, one can try too compare to (QUEEN ARETHA" that's one iron, and pressed singing sister!! I miss you QUEEN A. R.I.P. You will never fade away!!.
I think after this there are two things I can ask from God, after which I can live the rest of my life and die a happy man - a video with a proper and clean audio of Bad Bad Leroy Brown, and a final official release of Live & More by Donna Summer. While 2nd will probably never happen, I'm hoping for the first 😊
That first sentence of 'Look Into Your Heart' is already so beautifully sung, voice obviously in great condition. One of my favorite albums, her singing those Curtis tunes is SOMETHING ELSE!
Work it, work it, work it out Ms Ree. Wow awesome performance and great medley from the Sparkle soundtrack. Ms Ree looked and sounded fabulous along with the ladies and the orchestra was cooking.
She killed it!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾Memories of my mom and aunts singing these songs as a kid… The 👑 of Soul she looked and sounded amazing and the background singers 👏🏾
Aretha was in excellent voice during this performance. Within 5 years, her voice had changed dramatically to a much lower register. She would never sing these beautiful high notes again.
I saw a live video of Aretha singing give him something he can feel I believe she had on a blue pant outfit and boy she did a excellent job,because she was really into it that night
Her ad libs and runs drive this. I love all of the percussive effects such ad libs give a vocal performance. Mavis staples is of course another artist that used ad libs as a percussion. So did Michael Jackson in shake your body down and some of the off the wall songs.

Thanks for this video it brings back so many memories. I first saw Aretha Franklin in this form as a boy. The red hair and foxy look. When she maintained her weight she was a beauty.
I could listen to her all day!!! Her voice is soo anointed and full of soul and feeling! And she is gorgeous here!😍
Curtis Mayfield put his everything into dat soundtrack & Aretha’s execution was flawless 🤌🏾
Aretha + Curtis Mayfield = HOMERUN! ❤
Sing it, Aretha. No one can do it like she did. This is why she will always be the Queen Of Soul. Rest In Peace, Miss Franklin. 🕊️ 🕊️ 🕊️
Wow now this is rare. Aretha was in her prime in the 70s. Thank you so much for the upload. Loved this era.

She was that good. I thought the vocals here were from the album!
I still cry every day. I miss her like a family member! I miss her because she was so messy, and nobody dared to challenge her right or wrong. She was determined to have it her way!
@@rondothard1698 Chante Moore said it best " she is like the auntie that you don't want to make mad"
The Queen of Soul, Baby

Young folks remember Aretha Franklin did it first before en Vogue
@@stefonpatterson9194Yes, we must know this. I had no idea until I saw this video, almost 30 years after hearing En Vogue sing it. ❤
The Iconic legendary Queen of Soul. Our 1st Lady of Song Her voice was Declared a Natural Resource from the State of Michigan in 1985 . 🎵 .....🎤🎹
I always felt this was her prime vocally right before her Arista years
I agree
I say 76-79, but I agree. One could tell by the Jump to It album cigarette had caught up with her
George Kirby the greatest impressionist was on the same episode and he told Dinah that Aretha was the only singer he could not do. Aretha did a couple impersonations from the chair as I recall.

Queen Aretha Franklin in ‘72 - ‘79 sings so good.
even before, in 1970, when ‘young, gifted and black’ was recorded. flawless, effortless, absolutely unmatched.
@@atheoma I can agree with that. And to be honest, both ReeRee and Natalie Cole have the best voices in that era.
I’d say that her voice was best between ‘64-‘78. She was phenomenal.
I think 68 to 82
Love whatever she did at 5:23
One of the most Amazing Soundtracks Ever‼️ Aretha leading and sisters with the backing vocals, AMAZING ‼️
I cried when Aretha died. I've loved her and her music since I was a pre-teen. I'm 68 now and I still believe she is still my favorite singer. Rest in Paradise Queen.
I cried also when Aretha Franklin died and the memories of seeing her several times in performance brought tears pouring down.

Vocals were on point here. Riff and runs in the right place. Those squalls she did like no other WHEW. ANOINTED SOUL SISTER
don’t play with ree. she ain’t one of them!
her voice peaked in the 70s because wow
You need to hear her Columbia Albums …
Oh I how I miss the 70's. We were poor but we were rich in love.
I have never heard a live version of Jump or Look Into Your Heart. She knocked it out of the park and looking oh so FINE while doing it! And shout out to cousin Brenda who was feeling Jump.

That voice was as sharp as a butcher's knife. She knocked it out of the park, out of sight.
Her high notes in jump remind me so much of the top notes Willa ward had when she sang soprano with the ward singers, it’s something ahout there tone and technique
The background singers 🔥
That voice was on point. WOW. If she would've stop smoking at this point that voice would've got back to original state. I always imagine had she never smoke how big her voice would be.

@@atheoma 🤎
And Whitney and Mariah Carey. Most smoked in those days.
@@atheomaGod only says 75years if longer it's a blessing. She lives as long as God allows. She was a blessing still no one is better smoking or not.
@@sandrabentley8111Mariah stopped smoking when she was in her early teens, so this statement doesn’t apply
Nobody had a funk and flow like Aretha! From around 1960-1979 that voice was magic. Smoking and whatever else diminished her gift after that but it’s ok because she had already created an amazing body of work.
When Aretha and Curtis got together 😅💥just amazing. Her voice flows in and out of the groove 🔥.Loved Sparkle and also the follow up Almighty Fire
I see where Luther Vandross got his style of singing from 💯%
Christmas just came early. Ms. Ree was never known for sing it just like the record. She has that sing it how I feel it thing going on. Thanks for this very rare hardly ever seen video. This waa around the time Jimmy Carter waa very popular. Mrs Brenda holding it down for the big girls

Love this! Thanks for posting
Christmas present to the followers🙏🏾🙏🏾
Wow! 70s Aretha for the win yet again. Aretha performed just about every song from the Sparkle album live.
I think after this there are two things I can ask from God, after which I can live the rest of my life and die a happy man - a video with a proper and clean audio of Bad Bad Leroy Brown, and a final official release of Live & More by Donna Summer. While 2nd will probably never happen, I'm hoping for the first 😊
Yes yes yes
Classy and pure talent...we so need this today.
Yes we do--I think it’s forever gone.
FINALLY, IVE SEEN CLIPS OF THE "Something He Can Feel" BUT NEVER THE WHOLE THING!!! Thank you so much, bless your heart!
Also this is the first time I've seen her actually live sing "Jump" :D I'm so happy
Queen of soul for many reasons
Once in a lifetime artist
Curtis Mayfield jump started Aretha's career with these songs
Huh? She had already recorded “Respect” and others songs that had already jumpstarted her career.
May 1976 I ll never forget ...watching in college
Missing you Auntie ReRe for the holidays. 💕💐🕊🙏🏽
Thank you so much this medley is amazing!
That first sentence of 'Look Into Your Heart' is already so beautifully sung, voice obviously in great condition. One of my favorite albums, her singing those Curtis tunes is SOMETHING ELSE!
Thank you for this gem! The queen herself.
Prime period as far as voice. She may not have been selling records like before but vocally unmatched.
That voice was thee voice from 72-79 I was crazy about her than 😅
My favorite Aretha album 🤌🏾
The incomparable impersonator George Kirby ( fresh out of prison) sitting next to Dinah " Aretha is the only singer I cant do."
Move on. Jealousy is an evil thing it will corrupt you on the inside.
Now this is Soul! Go Aretha😊
Thanks for this love it! Aretha was something else! Ive seen a small clip of this years ago and now seeing the whole thing is just great wow!
Killer. Have wanted to see this footage for years
🔥☄️🔥☄️🔥,….WHY ARETHA IS GOAT!… SO EFFORTLESSLY PERFECTLY DONE!… The 🎤 couldn’t keep up with her HIGH POWER 💪🏾 NOTES!… This is MARIAH WANTS to BE!…
Thanks 🙏🏾 for the Christmas gift Happy Holidays!!!!!!!
I live ALL THINGS ARETHA. 💐
Sparkle Forever!❤😂❤😂❤😂❤😊
All hail the queen
Jump is my joint 😅
Hi Friend.
Hope you are well.
Thanks for uploading this. I will watch later when my migraine subsides and comment. 💜💫✨
SANG REE!!!👑
Work it, work it, work it out Ms Ree. Wow awesome performance and great medley from the Sparkle soundtrack. Ms Ree looked and sounded fabulous along with the ladies and the orchestra was cooking.
What a performance!! And that voice!!🔥🔥🔥
She killed it!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾Memories of my mom and aunts singing these songs as a kid… The 👑 of Soul she looked and sounded amazing and the background singers 👏🏾
Thanks!
😢 tears in my eyes
So pure, so beautiful
Thank you Aretha.
Wonder what Dinah Shore thought of song #2? This was a daytime talk show.
Aretha was in excellent voice during this performance. Within 5 years, her voice had changed dramatically to a much lower register. She would never sing these beautiful high notes again.
I would love to see an aretha 70s voice explained
Sing Aretha love this i miss u so much 😢😢
Thanks for sharing this!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for this!
Oh so after this she asked her to hit that run on the couch.... Aretha should have asked her to do it first 🤣🤣🤣😭👀
Thank you!❤
She was sososo sososo gifted
I saw a live video of Aretha singing give him something he can feel I believe she had on a blue pant outfit and boy she did a excellent job,because she was really into it that night
The queen was fantastic
yaay thanks for an amazing christmas gift. aretha never, never fails you man. the best!
She was sososo phenomenal
Auntie always with grace❤❤❤
EXTRAORDINAIRE
🎉wonderful!
Her ad libs and runs drive this. I love all of the percussive effects such ad libs give a vocal performance. Mavis staples is of course another artist that used ad libs as a percussion. So did Michael Jackson in shake your body down and some of the off the wall songs.
She kill this jam
Just Lawdt.....memories of back in the day...
Thanks!
She was a iconic
