Aretha Franklin song the shit out of this song...I don't give a damn what nobody say!....She makes you feel it in ya soul....R.I.P. My Queen... SINGERS, TAKE NOTES!!!🎙🎼🎶🎵🎤
Aretha has always shown so much respect to Diana Ross and Diana to Aretha. It really shows the true character of both of these women. They both obviously understand each other better than most people do. Two legends that made a difference in their own way.
Oooh, she was really feeling herself here. I like how she just grabbed that mic and went completely off! Vocally, her belts were so clear and powerful during this point in her career. Excellent performance, Queen.
Stephy amazing right? It can almost be described as a outterbody experience. She was very brilliant this night. She walked off when she was done! Queen!
not sure why people think it necessary to insult Aretha for singing a diana ross song?? they both love and admire each other to this day.. They are both fabulous at what they do.
Chill with the comparisons, Diana & Aretha are two different types of singers, and they're both legendary, and great in their on way; thats why they were both able to be successful at the exact same time. Back in those days, everybody covered each others songs.
My girl Aretha Franklin lives on in my home because I still play her music til this day ❤️ Her back up singers with one being her cousin Brenda was phenomenal❤ King Curtis and her Band was the truth👌🏽
imagine seeing this live. They used to play this song at the end of every service at my grandmothers church. This is the best version I have heard by a long shot
The Queen brings it down! In Switzerland no less . I loved the version a5 the Fillmore East concert, but this one is so uplifting and extraordinary . All hail the Queen!!
this performance at montreaux is LEGENDARY and one of the finest by anyone ever....its still smoking hot and someone throw some water on me cause dang!!!
Marvelous video! Diana Ross & Aretha Franklin have always performed each others' classic work beautifully, and this clip's no exception. That said, though, as great as this version is, you MUST see Aretha's version from Paris' Olympia Theater, from the same period.
anjelheaven I think she understood and accepted her effect on people but I don’t think she really grasped how much of a pioneer she was. She was dedicated to music.
Aretha is ranked higher because of her professional career in music. Yes diana has had more success on the charts but diana was a puppet. Aretha did her career her way produced wrote she is a musical genius. Not only for race liberation but women liberation as well.
I love how she covers it for her live show. She does a fantastic job with it. I also loved when she did the imitation of Diana and Gladys in 1976. She did a good job with both.
@MotownConnoisseur30 That's Aretha..as much as we love her..when it comes to fashion..she doesnt always make the best fashion choices. But I've heard that she won't take advice regarding fashion.
I love Aretha natural....it may have been the civil rights period....as she did play her part in it. No weaves or relaxers....just embraced the black is beautiful look...people in the public eye do have a bit of responsibility to set an example and lead the way in some ways...........
@rickw1100 The Supremes, Diana Ross, and most of Motown was very purposefully focused on making African-American music accessible to mainstream (white) audiences. Columbia attempted to do something similar with Aretha but it wasn't as successful. Motown had tried with the Marvelettes, and had some success with it, but made a hard core effort with the Supremes. After the success of "The Girls",the doorways to Supper Clubs, Las Vegas, etc opened for the entire company. The Supremes helped remove an unfounded fear that was has of Black artists. They all had their roles to play. For that, I have always been grateful to Aretha, Smokey, The Supremes, Diana, the Temptations, Tina Turner, Sam Cooke, etc. for they broadened the viewpoint on African American people through music. i never felt any of them were more valuable than any others.
+hollidayevery The Supremes recorded even in German lanuage for the German market. For that they were well known here even with their songs in orignal language
Don't you mean Diana Ross? She recorded this after she became a solo artist However good, she could NEVER TOUCH THIS' it's not a part of her artistry, as talented as she is.
To Rog - I ENJOYED YOUR PIECE, BUT I MUST MAKE ONE CORRECTION. ARETHA RECEIVED THE TITLE AFTER SHE LET COLUMBIA. SHE WAS CROWNED QUEEN BY PERVIS SPANN (THE BLUESMAN), A DJ IN CHICAGO AT THE REGAL THEATRE IN 1968. SHE RELEASED "I NEVER LOVED A MAN" AND "DO RIGHT WOMAN, DO RIGHT MAN" IN 1967 ON THE ATLANTIC LABEL WITH JERRY WEXLER.
Sorry. That's not true. Aretha received the "Queen of Soul" title during her Columbia years! At the time, some were calling her "Queen of the Blues." Aretha did not want to accept the title because Aretha felt that was Dinah Washington's title. I'm pretty sure Aretha also felt she couldn't accept the title because Dinah Washington was a very close friend of the Franklin family for many years!
I presented you FACTS. Something your tired argument has lacked. There is no comparison between The Queen Of Soul & The Boss. Both are LEGENDARY - ACCOMPLISHED - BEAUTIFUL - BLACK WOMEN- However I will leave you with this 1 VERY TRUE FACT Aretha Franklin Grammy Awards 18 Diana Ross Grammy Awards 1 --- I will let you argue with that !!!!!!
What are you talking about dude Aretha was apart of Martin Luther Kings movement so how is she not apart of the Civil Rights movement exactly? I never said Diana Ross wasn't b/c I personally don't take a liking to her to much but that's fine to eaches own. When talk of Inspiration there is a reason why Aretha Franklin Amazing Grace album is one the top selling gospel albums ever & that's a fact look it up if you need to. Furthermore why watch a video about her with all this negativity?
THUS of what you SPEAK is not TRUE-- All artists of Aretha Franklin era covered each others music- Gladys Knight & The Pips- I Wish it would Rain (Temptations) And WAY TO MANY OTHERS to name SHE TOOK POPULAR SONGS AND INJECTED SOUL INTO THEM- AND NOT FOR NOTHING -- ITS DAMN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO COVER AN ARETHA FRANKLIN SONG- AND IF SHE COVERED YOURS (IN HER DAY) IT WAS DAMN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE FOR IT TO BE YOURS EVER AGAIN..
I prefer to hear Miss Ross sing this one, but the Queen holds her on with pretty much whatever she sings, especially in those days, but this one truly belongs to Lady Supreme.
You have no idea of what you speak. Not only did I live through this era of music, but I'm still here to voice it's truth- Your calling her a Vulture. But your 1 person against MILLIONS whom adore Ms Aretha Franklin "Queen Of Soul" for well over 50 years. So your non cohesive thoughts take no shape..
Sorry, darling/whatever. Aretha was given the name, "Queen of Soul before she began recording for Atlantic, her heyday music. Diann and The Supremes made their way into good music as well as things they shouldn't have tried. Aretha already had Gospel under her wing, learned singing Jazz, Blues and Standards under Columbia and made her personal voice very well know at Atlantic where she didn't just make REAL SOUL music at part of the forefront, she brought along self liberation and taking classics from everyone and making them hers. Her spotlight on "The Blues Brothers" was before she got another break in the business. Sure, Ms. Ross had a great steam of hits, mostly written and produced by everyone till she reached RCA but ReRe was an instrumental part of most, if not all of her early arrangements. She also kept making records and touring after Diana pretty much disappeared, I guess to raise more children since her career wasn't saying much. Now, talk about fools...
Not true Aretha was one of the voices for the civil rights movement so how did Diana do more? Nevertheless why does it matter they're both talented in their own right. Far as the # 1 hits goes anytime white ppl follow you believe me you will have those hits. Aretha has a lot of white followers to but way more blacks than Diana most blacks don't care for her. Again both are great in their own right the end.
Besides, Aretha establish early on that she wouldn't sing before a segregated audience, and she didnt, unlike the rest. But Aretha never signed with Motown. Diana Ross contrubute nothing to the civil rights movement.
In reference to the comment about Ross and her lack of politics:Didnt she and the other 2 SUPREMES walk in the civil rights march along side of Martin Luther King in the 60's?And didnt she perform for the Clintons? and just because she isnt running for a seat,doesnt mean she has no political background.
Diana is Pop. Aretha is Soul. There is no reason to compare them. Long live our great Black Divas.
direfranchement ....Aretha is Pop, Soul, Gospel, Blues and Rock & Roll.!!!!
@@sweetssweeter2734 That’s right opera, jazz, and everything else!!!!
@@sweetssweeter2734 I beg to differ apart from Gospel but go ahead
Amazing how her speaking voice was so soft and girlish, but when she sang, OMG, the thunder and lightning came forth!!!
Aretha carried all 4 elements of nature in her voice.

Indeed, you could feel the realness. In those days people were so real, authentic and soulful. No facebook/phones/instagram
She was at the peak of her vocal prowess
God damn this women can sing. Never heard anyone sing as well as ReRe did in the 60's and 70's. Amazing!
aretha can sing to me anytime
This performance sums Aretha up perfectly.
Gosh I still love the look Brenda gives Aretha at 4:15...SANG 'RETHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
neededsaying Right. And that’s her cousin. She was smiling big time for her fam.
Aretha was a force all by herself. She is and still one of the best!!
The ABSOLUTE BEST, imo!
Ashford and Simpson' be proud they wrote this song
Any song that Ms. Aretha covered, she always made it better than the original; that voice turned big hits into bigger hits!
Say that again 👏🏾👏🏾
There will NEVER be another one in our lifetime! ❤❤❤
not sure why people think it necessary to insult Aretha for singing a diana ross song?? they both love and admire each other to this day.. They are both fabulous at what they do.
Aretha KILLED me when she took that lady microphone! The Original Diva

The "Queen" of Soul has always been right on point!!!......so legendary!
yessssssssssss! she showed her as off and it was well deserved just listen to those pipes!!!!!!!!!!!one the best!!!!
Chill with the comparisons, Diana & Aretha are two different types of singers, and they're both legendary, and great in their on way; thats why they were both able to be successful at the exact same time. Back in those days, everybody covered each others songs.
I love it...I love the energy...very exciteting.
She is just too much...awesome woman ! ! !
Aretha's voice crossed over..she along with Dionne were the two biggest seling female artists of that era.
My girl Aretha Franklin lives on in my home because I still play her music til this day ❤️
Her back up singers with one being her cousin Brenda was phenomenal❤
King Curtis and her Band was the truth👌🏽
When she grabbed the background singers mic. 1 of 1. 👑🐐
One of the best live performances from Reeree, the band & background sangers.
This song is dedicated to the people that are suffering in Flint, Michigan from Toxic Lead Water Poison.
The singers in the back afros is da truth!. Glad Aretha ended her concert with this song!..."Reach Out And Touch Somebody's Hand"...Powerful!!
by listening this my whole heart is poured with love❤️✨
This brings tears. I loved her
Our Queen has gone to Glory ! Thank You Jesus !!!..💓😇💓
imagine seeing this live. They used to play this song at the end of every service at my grandmothers church. This is the best version I have heard by a long shot
Black women can certainly sing!!!

There is nothing more iconic then my MUSICAL MOTHA grabbing that fuxking mic at the end and wearing that gotdamn crowd out.
Lawd!!!
Sometimes I wonder if she's ever in awe of herself?
Talk about wearing the crowd out lol
@@anjelheaven You know, I wonder if she ever came on here and watched any of her old shows and was like, 'Well dayum, Ree!"
anjelheaven I think she understood and accepted her effect on people but I don’t think she really grasped how much of a pioneer she was. She was dedicated to music.
Terrance Martindale She gave that crowd the business
Im waiting for a duet with the QUEEN OF GOSPEL ( Shirley Caesar) and the Queen Of SOUL ( Aretha Franklin) to rock the music world!!!!
Man imagine Aretha singing "Reach Out and Touch" during her Sweet Passion era concerts (1977)
Imo, her voice was extraordinarily AMAZING all throughout the 1970s!!!
She kill this jam
Rip Queen Aretha Franklin ❤❤
The background singers didn't like when she took over the mic,😂😂😂 Ms. Aretha drowned them out!!
I think they was trying to keep up with where she was going. It's all love
The backup singers are her cousins.
She was sososo fantastic
Aretha is ranked higher because of her professional career in music. Yes diana has had more success on the charts but diana was a puppet. Aretha did her career her way produced wrote she is a musical genius. Not only for race liberation but women liberation as well.
Anthony Smith Diana didn’t have more success on charts, she may have sold more albums but Aretha is the most charted female singer in history
She was sososo amazing
Reach out and touch ( somebody's hand ) is a DIANA ROSS CLASSIC from 1970 !
I love how she covers it for her live show. She does a fantastic job with it. I also loved when she did the imitation of Diana and Gladys in 1976. She did a good job with both.
Aretha sung it better
Aretha Franklin and King Curtis.
Sang Retha
Aretha tore this shyt up! This women was dead right.
She was a diva

All artists of Aretha Franklin era covered each others music-
Gladys Knight & The Pips- I Wish it would Rain (Temptations)
And WAY TO MANY OTHERS to name
SHE TOOK POPULAR SONGS AND INJECTED SOUL INTO THEM-
AND NOT FOR NOTHING -- ITS DAMN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO COVER AN ARETHA FRANKLIN SONG- AND IF SHE COVERED YOURS (IN HER DAY) IT WAS DAMN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE FOR IT TO BE YOURS EVER AGAIN..
I prefer to hear Miss Ross sing this one, but the Queen holds her on with pretty much whatever she sings, especially in those days, but this one truly belongs to Lady Supreme.
So is there a Difference between lets say Aretha Franklin & Dolly Parton?
direfranchement is correct 100000% correct-
I do believe she was pregnant with Kecalf during this performance!
Lennie Green no she had him already...
You have no idea of what you speak. Not only did I live through this era of music, but I'm still here to voice it's truth-
Your calling her a Vulture. But your 1 person against MILLIONS whom adore Ms Aretha Franklin "Queen Of Soul" for well over 50 years.
So your non cohesive thoughts take no shape..
She was the best
Well at this time, I believe Aretha was pregnant with her 3 son. That's why she wore the gown that she wore...
A FOOL FOLLOWING A FOOLS PARADE
Sorry, darling/whatever. Aretha was given the name, "Queen of Soul before she began recording for Atlantic, her heyday music. Diann and The Supremes made their way into good music as well as things they shouldn't have tried. Aretha already had Gospel under her wing, learned singing Jazz, Blues and Standards under Columbia and made her personal voice very well know at Atlantic where she didn't just make REAL SOUL music at part of the forefront, she brought along self liberation and taking classics from everyone and making them hers. Her spotlight on "The Blues Brothers" was before she got another break in the business. Sure, Ms. Ross had a great steam of hits, mostly written and produced by everyone till she reached RCA but ReRe was an instrumental part of most, if not all of her early arrangements. She also kept making records and touring after Diana pretty much disappeared, I guess to raise more children since her career wasn't saying much. Now, talk about fools...
lmao!
Not true Aretha was one of the voices for the civil rights movement so how did Diana do more? Nevertheless why does it matter they're both talented in their own right. Far as the # 1 hits goes anytime white ppl follow you believe me you will have those hits. Aretha has a lot of white followers to but way more blacks than Diana most blacks don't care for her. Again both are great in their own right the end.
Besides, Aretha establish early on that she wouldn't sing before a segregated audience, and she didnt, unlike the rest. But Aretha never signed with Motown. Diana Ross contrubute nothing to the civil rights movement.
She was pregnant here btw
In reference to the comment about Ross and her lack of politics:Didnt she and the other 2 SUPREMES walk in the civil rights march along side of Martin Luther King in the 60's?And didnt she perform for the Clintons? and just because she isnt running for a seat,doesnt mean she has no political background.
