    She's more than just high notes... she tells the story - i love aretha and her musical catalog.

      Yes!! and that's the difference. In every note you feel the emotion, and the story is being told perfectly.

    • @colorpurple4623
      @colorpurple4623 5 лет назад +13

      Perfectly! Yes yes yes and that is the difference where as most singers scream the high notes rather then singing them.

    Aretha was untouchable in this era! Her interpretation and style was and still is hard to replicate or copy.
    She employed melisma effortlessly and in synch with the song's mood.
    Who else can "stammer" a song and sound as good as a Aretha?...No one!
    Aretha,you were the true vessel that delivered human emotions in a song that not many of your peers past and present could deliver!
    Forever our Queen of Soul 🙏

I love the end where she she so sweetly sings "call me the moment...that you get there... (Cousin Brenda"CAOOLL MMEE")Hey... Hey..." (5:30)The Queen never disappoints.

      Mourn the love, but live in joy, remember her of course, her words, her laugh, even find yourself doing some of the things she did and I laugh about that. Momma told me, when I was a teen, remember GOD loves you even if nobody don’t. That was the best advice she ever gave me because I found that out in this life.
      GOD is my strength, my joy, my love, because men come and they go, the children love, and don’t really know, but the true lover of the soul is the LORD GOD, be encouraged. John 3 and John chapters 14 thru 17, read it all, and when the LORD finished ministering this to me, I been fine ever since. Be blessed.

      That is not Cissy Houston singing high soprano, it is her cousin Brenda. Long time background singer for her cousin, Aretha.
