Aretha Franklin Performs ‘Rock Of Ages’ At The New Bethel Baptist Church: Exclusive | TIME
/ timemagazine
No plastic surgeries, no autotune, just real. I wonder how many generations will go by before the world will understand how monumental she is. Long live the Queen of Soul. 🙏🏾
Your comment is so profound because it took me a while to understand the magnitude of her gift. I tried to watch the VMA Awards tonight & it was just depressing. Most couldn't sing & the few who could actually sing were technically good but didn't have any real passion. Aretha interpreted every word of every song, reached into your gut and grabbed it: tone, range, power, interpretation, perfect pitch. These current singers aren't even on the same planet as her. Her talent was somewhat recognized, though, because she was requested at every pivotal moment-- from MLK's funeral to several presidential inaugurations to standing in for Pavarotti. Whenever they needed someone with unequaled talent and gravitas, it was Aretha. Not even talented vocalists like Jen Hudson can match what Aretha had. She was like the sun and the moon-- you just took it for granted she was there, because she was always present in the background throughout the stages of our lives.
Only a wig 😂😂😂
I hate to see my icons get older and become seniors. This was in 2016, she still had the VOICE. I keep thinking if she was in denial about her cancer up to the end.
@ escales And the few who did perform had no clothes on!
ali stop it
Yall hear that....that's what's missing from today's mainstream music. That pain, that struggle, that love and joy the purerelease of emotion. Thank you for being what you where Queen of Soul!
Remya Tempest amen
Not necessarily missing just not enough. Totally understand where you're coming from though.
Remya Tempest Bravo! Now here's someone that knows what music is all about!
Remya Tempest hear it loud and clear!!!!!! You are more than right .
Not all of today's music is sterile!

Can you imagine knowing you’re at the end of your life and being in the place where it all began.
OMG! this is strong!
And at this moment.. I cried my eyes out...🙄😭
Should have done gospel the whole time
Aretha an inspiration... love from Lebanon...
Good words Anthony Simmons
Anthony Simmons just don’t imagine it.. it’s what happens your not here to stay it’s just a blessing to live long to get to her age she’s experienced so much in life got to do many things others haven’t and will never get to do so bless her she’s gone on to be with the lord I just hate to hear folks say she’s in hell No she isn’t she goin to heaven when she gets judged..
No matter how tired and physically sick she became, she still brought the fire of the Holy Spirit when opened her mouth to sing. Truly an anointed woman.
JESUS REALLY IS SO REAL! THAT VOICE WAS A TRUE GIFT FROM HIM! THANK U LORD
Aretha was excellent. For those who didn’t catch it, she has what musicians call “absolute pitch”. In the very beginning, she sings the G# she wants the organists to play. Amazing. Rest In Peace Aretha.
Perfect pitch.
Why does she sing in head voice most of the time?
Raydoffa Braziel She’s actually singing mostly in mixed voice - very head-dominant mix but mix nonetheless. She used a lighter and lighter mix with age - less full-voice belting. But her 2015 Kennedy Center performance of “Natural Woman” proved beyond any doubt that she could still belt her ass off in later years. I think she was just less consistent and more easily fatigued as she got older. Here she is sitting down - which makes singing in full voice harder - and is plainly really tired. She actually looks a bit sick and in pain. I think this day she just might not have been able to sing in full voice. And she didn’t need to - on this song, the light, almost wailing sound made the performance even more plaintive and soul-searing. RIP Aretha, you will be missed.
Escales absolute pitch and perfect pitch are the same
Jennifer Yearwood yes, however, some musicians still use the term absolute pitch.
Every knee shall bow, every tongue shall confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.
AMEN,,AMEN. AMEN, THAT'S THE BEAUTIFUL,,TRUTH, GLORY,,,
Yet people keep saying rest in peace..
I don’t think she was in physical pain at that moment as some have suggested, I think the gravity of being in the sanctuary were everything started in her life was just extremely overwhelming. She seemed unusually emotional as if she knew life was coming to a close for her and that building was making it real.
Oh my I dont no..but you have a strong point..and she grew in in that church.. My the lord keep you my friend
@ yishay..I think you are right..I dont no how you no but you are on point...take care and remembered Jesus Christ cares for you..
It’s as if she was getting her last goodbye to where it all began.
@@valjolly7469 people said she sold her soul for money...I don't no but iam praying for the family
when you have terminal cancer, you definitely have pain, every single day.
If this doesn't move you, you don't have a pulse. RIP Aretha.
It just dawned on me that she was saying goodbye. According to the last verse, she was playing this song directly to God and telling him, "When I cross over, take me into your arms." She knew her sun was setting. As the tears roll down my cheeks while I type this, it also dawns on me that maybe the title "Queen" was a bit to small for such an angelic soul. If I've ever heard God sing, it was because I heard Ms. Franklin. Thank you for sharing your immeasurable gifts with us Queen Angel Aretha Franklin. There will never be another. You've lived a life poured out. You've earned your right to rest well. Salute.
She never lost her voice.
She never lost her praise either
Yes
She never lost her soul neither
She actually lost a lot of her range in her chest voice in the early 80's due to heavy smoking and improper vocal care. What's amazing is that she adapted, and never let it hinder her. She improved her head voice tremendously, and her bottom end gained so much strength and resonance - She was truly a remarkable vocalist
@@zee3499 well said. 🙃
She was in tears the whole time and towards the end the tears escaped... She is truly a Sage of Song.
Tears of grief for her father no doubt. He was the pastor of that church until he was murdered. He was shot by a burglar and lingered in a coma for five years until he died in 1984.
HEAVEN COULDNT WAIT ANOTHER DAY💔 REST IN PRAISING THE ALPHA AND OMEGA DEAR QUEEN ARETHA.❤
OMG TV YESSS 🎼🎼🎼🎼
Neither could her MOM, Dad or Sisters
God probably wants an autograph from his faithful servant.
I Couldn't hold back tears watching this.
Shawn Williams She couldn't either rest in peace forever in God's kingdom eternity Aretha Franklin.
Me neither! I had to save this!
MAN
One of the last true legends.
Nyle. .......SO TRUE! 1of the last few
Amen
So professional and worshipful even battling cancer
Felicia Moniq It was a rough battle but se sang her way through it
My mother was battling stage 4 and was on deathbed but still hanging on to the Lord. I believe she's in heaven now with my father. RIP to both of them and to Ms. Aretha.
Jesus....That Voice kindles your soul....Grace and Mercy.....you feel the soul....of Peace
Felicia Moniq : THAT'S what I am talking about.
Aretha is very emotional in this video , she doesn't look like she is in pain , i think she knew her time was coming as i see her look around the church & said " my dad built this place xxx "🌷👑❤
Her father's murder made her childhood church a place of sadness for her. She cried every time she went back after he died.
She was in pain knowing she was going to die. It’s evident.
My Lord... This is a hard one to lose, God makes no mistakes but I sho wish she here a little longer, but Lord it's you're will. AMEN
Edgle Bennett thats not the lord thats the cancer...
What a stupid comment. Your “god” can’t do shit
Thomas Siab She died from it but God makes no mistakes her took her home cause it was her time. Aretha Franklin is now singing g with the Angels in heaven.
Tobias Hørsted God is the crested he made the heaven and earth and he made no mistake about it. God have his arms wrapped all around Aretha Franklin.
Edgle Bennett Amen
She said one song and that’s it! Rest Easy Aretha
Don Lou YES
Going back to the church her dad pastored until he was murdered by a burglar was too much for her to bear. Every time she went back she shed tears of grief. That's why she didn't want to stay very long.
5:40 I felt that thang when she said “ he is the king of kings … & the lord of lords “
I really don't know who would dislike this performance. Lord, Jesus. You better sang that song, Retha!!!!!!!!!
Rest in peace, Queen.
Some hater trolls....smh..sanggggg Retha
Jennifer Yearwood
Exactly. Hence, I felt free to offer MY OWN opinion on the dislikes. Keep it moving, Jennifer.
Jennifer Yearwood And so am I ... it’s a wonderful thing.👍🏾
She forgot the words!!!
We from Singapore remember Aretha Franklin for her brilliance and wonderful spirit.
Beautiful comment
Last verse: While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyes shall close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee
Amen Aretha! You have crossed over into his loving arms!! Thank you for your lasting gift of song!
😢❤️
Your comment should be at the top. Albeit the lyrics to the song, I imagine the words had sat in here Spirit for sometime - modern medicine almost always gets life expectancy, after a diagnosis, right. God bless you Areatha. Rest on, REST ON.....
Her voice isn't like any other this song had me in tears
I so, so agree, Felicity. Something is different. In a very beautiful and peaceful way. Her heart is poured into this. Grace, love, honor. It’s almost like she is talking to the Angels...
I wish gospel music sounded like this today.......so sad that we have to reach back to Mahalia Jackson, The Gospel Clefs, The Gospel Keynotes & many many more & now Aretha Franklin to get this Spirit-filled sound.
Terra Fitchett IKR. I’m not knocking today’s artists but when you go back to Queen Mahalia Jackson and Queen Aretha Franklin & all the other greats who have gone on, they poured in so much anointing & soul in their music. Hell all they had to do was sing the first 10 seconds into the song & people started shouting & the church was lit
I don't mind looking back. 🙌🏽
and Andraé Crouch & The Disciples
"GLORY TO HIS NAME!"
My heart is broken. No one has contributed to the soundtrack of the world in the fashion that Queen Aretha Franklin has. I miss her. The world misses her. We are blessed to have seen her during our time. Thank you Lord. Keep taking care of our precious Aretha. 😭😭😢😞
She started going back to her gospel roots towards the end of her life. She didn't sing too much of her secular songs. RIP Ree!!
BRILLIANT Pianist, Along with being THE GREATEST VOICE EVER to Sing a Song!!! Now she is Singing for her SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST!!! xoxoxoo
PeaceFan1 YESSS
PeaceFan1 YES LORD!!!!
PeaceFan1 Amen!! Thank God for Queen Aretha
Queen of ALL things music.
I just learned James Cleveland was her piano teacher
The look on her face at the end said it all 😢😢😢
Geneva Howard That look that says not too long, not too long I'll be gone.
Yeah, she knew her time was winding up.
teresahen To be honest, she fought that disease off for 8 yrs..She had more music for us..her cancer came out of remission in 2017 after this was taped..
Right now listening to this, I can't hardly hold my peace. The spirit is moving upon me right now. That is what Aretha will do to you. Her voice will move you closer to God!! Rest in Peace my beloved!!
Can't you not only hear the emotions...but feel them as well. This is what is SOUL music is about.
I can only imagine how she felt walkin into a church where alllll of her loved ones funerals were held. I'm sure it brought back memories that she hasn't thought of in forever. Idk but as a Detroiter, it feels like a loss of a family member. R.I.P. Queen
Singing to the angels...singing with the Lord...beautiful peace
jacque wisLatina YES
The look in her eyes at 1:10 sent chills over my body. 😩 I still cannot believe she left us. Long live the QUEEN of Soul! 👑🙏❤
This performance felt personal and raw and real. The emotions were very high as you can tell. I don't know how long it has been since she been in her childhood church, but it just felt so powerful and emotional even for her.
What a voice my GOD! Great is HE that is in me than he that's in the world. What an awesome GOD we serve! Hallelujah Amen!
She had a lot of grief filled memories in that building. Her father was the pastor until he was shot by a burglar in June 1979. He spent the last five years of his life in a coma because he lost too much blood to keep his brain oxygenated. He died in 1984. They were going to just let him die at the hospital but one of the nurses at Henry Ford Hospital recognized who he was and advocated for him to be put on life support. Aretha was playing a gig in Vegas when she got the news about the shooting.
The connection she has with GOD in every note she sang resonates with the world. This is a woman who was blessed with a GIFT!
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.
Not the labour of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.
Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Saviour, or I die!
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyes shall close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgement throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
Crooning4Leftovers thank for posting the lyrics to this beautiful hymn tears are flowing My mother loved this old hymn My brother father and mother passed away recently in less than three months of each other How I miss them there just aren't words to describe the anguish of grief but I know where they are and that is my comfort and also knowing my precious Lord and Savior
Crooning4Leftovers
So beautiful Buda put those words in writing then we can all read and think about what each and every word means. I want to say thank you, thank you for the time it took you to do that , and thank you for putting those words there for soul that may be lost. 💞
Monica Kittleson Psalm 34:18...has helped me since my parents graduated to heaven . Praying for you!
@@ChaplainNora thank you GOD BLESS YOU
YES, YES, YES, YESSSS (In my church voice)!
Haven't met Aretha and never will, but every time she sang it's like you have known her all your life. I am blessed to haven experienced such a talent in my life time. To the Franklin family no words can console you this is not a lossbut a void in our time........long live thee Queen!!
I met her several times. First time I was maybe three years old. My dad and her dad worked together on civil rights issues. He was a leader in the civil rights movement and my dad was a social worker for the Detroit Civil Rights Commission.
Your voice allowed us to feel your soul,
Your gift helped us to be whole,
From this journey to the next,
Forever given RESPECT,
we love you until the end of time,
A soul like yours we will never find.
We love you and miss you dearly my Queen of soul. 😘🕊
What an amazing God given talent! She was nurtured by Gospel Pioneers Mahalia Jackson and Clara Ward to name a few. What a fitting song to sing “Rock of Ages” Rest in Power Aretha
It was as if she knew that she wouldn’t be with us much longer. Rest In Heaven “ReRe”. You will be greatly missed BUT FOREVER LOVED!!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 #AndThatsReal
R.I.P Aretha Franklin , you will be remembered.
We truly miss aretha frankliln. May her soul rest in peace.
This was nostalgic and overwhelming for her in the good sense that she knew who and what she was singing of she was moved by the spirit. You can see and hear it at the end that she knew her time wasn’t long you can also see that she was at peace. This song was almost like a prayer for her she now hiding and resting in him. Well done Ree RIH and also rest on to her organist Darryl Houston who died back in March.
New Bethel Baptist was never the same after Rev. Franklin was gunned down by a burglar. The absence of his powerful voice echoing off the walls always brought her grief back to the surface whenever she went back to New Bethel Baptist after he was shot.
That just blessed me. Brought tears to my eyes and shivers through my body. Thank you again Ms. Aretha. ❤
and the great organist with her, Darryl Houston, left us in march of this year!
Oh my I didn't no who that man was on the organ. But thanks for sharing
WHAT???
Yes, I was looking to see if anyone else was familiar with him as well. Her organist for years. He had cancer as well I believe.
morgank19 yes, I'm not sure if it was cancer but his sister went to check on him after he told her by phone he needed a nap before a rehearsal.
My gawd
thats a beautiful voice
jonathan francois Heavenly rest on Aretha Franklin
One of her last best performance I really like 🙌🏼. Feels like she gave every last drop of her soul and poured it into this song with her amazing voice 💯🙏🏼. Who’s still here in January 2020?
February 2022. Aretha's voice will never grow old.
September 1, 2023❤️
"...He is the Lord of Lords
And the King of Kings
Hallelujah!..."
Her passion and her faith... This is what i call Worship and Praise. Thank you Lord for Aretha's gifts. Amen.
One of the greatest female singers
Of all times,God rest your soul
Aretha delivers so much emotion , joy,soul. Her facial expressions convey to me that she was looking over her life, reflecting the joy's and some lost of people close to her.
Words can’t even describe how amazing she was
Is* her genius renders her immortal
Hallelujah to his name. R.I.P QUEEN
I watch these videos not just because Ms Aretha Franklin had an ethereal and uplifting voice but because I don’t want her to leave. No one can or will ever replace her. I am grateful that I lived during her lifetime. That was such a blessing to me. Once in a lifetime.
The Queen singer of singers an angel's come from heaven return to heaven, rest in love Aretha...
This was...powerful! The Queen performing her “Swan Song” and what a song selection at that “Rock of Ages” You can tell she was overcome with pure raw emotion. Being in the place where it all began, near the end of your life. My God! I felt this!
Thank you dearest Aretha, job here on Earth very well done. You have left so much on earth to touch our souls. Now sing for the heavens. RIP our soulful angel.
theonlycontessa AMEN
This made me cry, but even in the end she still had that gift of soulful music. What was more moving is that she was close to her father and spoke about how her dad built that church. She reminds me of my mom I lost. I really gotta stop looking at this, but Aretha was one of my mothers favorite song artist. I definitely see why my mother appreciated this womans musical gift .
Rock of ages was a staple song in my home growing up.
Rest in paradise Queen..
Sis can you sing..are did you sing growing up
I would have been a crying, shouting MESS when she finished that song. They would have had to literally pick me up off the floor!! My God that woman was ANOINTED!! God bless you Queen Aretha! Rest in sweet heavenly peace!
The best singer to ever live 🙌🏾🙏🏾
Lord have mercy! Damn she took me to church. I felt this and I've never seen her shed tears like that. This must've been truly moving and humbling for her. This beautiful, gracious and vibrant spirit will be missed. It's as if in every word she sings is a brick she laid for her heavenly home.
Wow, I had goosebumps the second she played the piano, Could see the emotion in her face, God is good!! We truly have lost the ultimate female vocalist, Much love Aretha, We miss you
It's 2023 now. Almost 36 years ago I sat about 30 feet away from where she was sitting in this video and watched her perform a gospel concert with her sisters and Mavis Staples. The performance was recorded and released as a double LP gospel album in December 1987. I got goosebumps as soon as I heard the first five notes of Ave Maria come out of her mouth.
That voice and those Stilettos tho.. Yes WHAM! BAM! Thank you ma'am !!
@Jennifer Yearwood Yaaaaaasssss.....JUST NOTICED...great observation Sis !!!! WELL BAM...SHE REALLY GETTING IT POPPIN'! 4-ever the Queen. 💯😊
Mother earth is grieves her loss... Our Father in heaven rejoices to have her in his arms.,💕
I knew Aretha Franklin wayback in the 80s.At a tender young she is very a beautiful woman and very charming.
Her duo with Jocelyn Brown
You're truly the Queen of Soul
This will go down as one of the most haunting yet beautiful piece of performance in her performance catalogue. LONG LIVE THE QUEEN.
That microphone. is blessed
The annointed voice..RIP 👑
You will NEVER be forgotten. RIP
I'm glad Aretha left us this beautiful hymn . It makes me feel so sad knowing she's no longer with us and it makes me rejoice knowing that she made it in . God bless The Queen of Soul , forever in my heart .
thank you for the gift of you. Rest in Power
Tears falling from my eyes as I listen to this song RIP Areatha Franklin
I need a studio version to this omg what a beautiful voice. Rest In paradise Queen
Lord God Almighty the spirit of an Angel rest and abide in the Queen of Soul Miss Aretha Franklin. Holy ghost power. Amen
You will not be forgotten dear. You were one of a kind. Rest in peace queen.
Enjoy Paradise Aretha Franklin "Queen of Soul Music." RIP. Glory to GOD!
Her voice is so beautiful and moved my spirit when she song this song...
What a powerful woman, with a powerhouse voice & your passion & spirit with live on forever!
You can see clearly she's not well. She even looked like she was in slight pain here. LORD have mercy on this greatly beloved sister. She has been through a lot in life.
Since this took place two years ago, the woman was 74 years old. What a phenomenon. Queen then, queen now, queen forever.
A CHOSEN VESSEL She was simply emotional. This was where her career started (excluding her life in Tennessee) and ended
I just know her and Whitney are taking center stage together above the clouds; dueting in their PRIME vocals (Whitney's voice in the 80's/early 90's, Aretha in the 60's/early 70's)
Just imagine if they had both been in their vocal primes at the very same time, during their time on this undeserving Earth? It would've been incandescent and damn-near cataclysmic!
Master Superblaster agreed
Yes, she had to be helped up the stairs. However, when I saw her in 2017, she walked on stage. Stayed on stage for 1-1/2 hrs. Took 2 breaks, sat down one time, played the piano. Sang. She didn't look like anything was wrong.
Obviously her singing was the thing that made her so famous, but her piano playing was wonderful too. I remember seeing documentary about her in the '90's and they interviewed some of the musicians from her early Atalntic days. I remember one of them saying that they were a little apprehensive when she arrived for the first session, not knowing what Aretha was going to be like, but one said that as soon as she sat down and started playing the piano he knew ''everything was going to be alright!!''
OH wow I have always admired Ms. Franklin's singing...She is still soooo awesome...One of the greats...Thanks. " Just in case you were to see this from where you are...Bless you Ms. Franklin.
Ellen Lipinskl She died this morning .
Oh no I am sooooo sorry I will truly miss her I so admired that woman- all my life. My heart hurts actually but I know at lest now I can talk to her in my prayers and I believe she will here me better than a phone. Oh man we are loosing all the real stars "when they stood for something' She really was someone to really look up to with her life. Such a woman and there are so few of that standard, Don't know I will ever be her equal. She deserves that peice of my heart. At least 58 years worth or so. Rest in peace my friend that I never got to personally see. Be well and have a really terrific time with the Lord. You worked so hard for it...Now She was a Woman of Quality.
My grandmother and Ms. Franklin sound so similar! I miss my granny so much! I just want to hear one more song!
God Bless, Keep and Comfort The Franklin Family.
Qu'est-ce que c'est Forever
So true Celeste.
Glory to His name. 🙏🏾 R.I.P.
In That Great Getting Up Morning, We Shall Meet Again Love You Aretha Rest In The Arms Of The Lord!!!!!
An incomparable talent and spirit!
Justin Sánchez get back to the ursher board!!

Thank you Jesus Rest in Peace Queen of Soul. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
God bless you Miss Aretha Franklin.
OMG... I preffer her voice as she was older, than when she was young, deeper, softer, i love it.
Rest in Heavenly peace, my enormously gifted dear friend, Darryl Houston and the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin. My heart is still heavy having lost you both in such a close span of time. You two are truly missed.
Very moving to watch this. She was a Daddy's girl. The Preacher's daughter right to the end. Rest in Glory, Ms Franklin, you made your Daddy proud. Never will forget you!
Greatly missed but not to be forgotten ♡ Thank you Queen for blessing us with your gift of soul. May you rest in perfect peace.
1942 - 2018
JoAnn Muhammad t
R.I.P Aretha Franklin. You are now with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May you now sing in the Heavenly choir.
You can't help but feel the presence of GOD in this performance. I'm moved to tears thank you Almighty GOD for sharing your child Aretha Franklin with the world. LONG LIVE THE QUEEN !!!💎💎💎
THIS WOMAN WAS HEAVEN SENT.....May God rest her soul....this song was EVERYTHING!! WOW
what a blessing to hear this, God has her in paradise, living her greatest life now with the Lord 🙏🏾💜 Such a gift from God to this earth however 😊💛🌷
Ms. Aretha Franklin brought all of her life’s experiences to this performance. She sung with mental strength, passion, joy and sadness even as her physical body was failing. She always knew from wince her help came & she held to it till her last breath. She shared her remarkable gifts with the world for as long as she was able, and did so with amazing grace and dignity! Thank you God for allowing us to share time on this earth with this extraordinary artist! RIP OUR QUEEN ❤
No doubt The Queen of Soul. Her roots run so deep. Generations of Souls are heard when she sings. Thank goodness we have the recordings. To God be the Glory 💐
She sang it #PERIOD
