There are not enough words to describe Aretha Franklin. This was a 74 year old woman who was 2 years from dying. Yet, this performance confirms why she will always be a legend. She set the place on fire.
She was literally dying from cancer at this performance. Truly a perfect cap to a legendary career.
I love the way Aretha saunters in wearing a fur coat as though she's stopping in for a quick song on her way home. Carole King's love and gratitude is overflowing. Two greats whose gift and contribution will never fade. Well loved.
When Aretha is going at full power, no one can touch her.
She OWNS the stage. She's 73 here. And, sadly, would be gone within three years.
Sick and she still had her voice, greatness
I think this is one of her greatest performances. It felt religious. It felt to me informed by all her years singing in church. I cried from beginning to end.
Yes! I watched the original airing and I often re-watch it just because it was so phenomenal! ❤ Aretha .....RIP.
I didn't cry but my eyes were wanting to I held back hard! but at chills the WHOLE time through my whole body. the ended is so chilling and jaw dropping
When Aretha Franklin sat down and started playing the pian you saw Carol King get excited. She was excited and shocked that Aretha stopped playing the piano in the later years of her life. Aretha Franklin sat down and played that piano for Carol King.
Aretha, her precision timing, phrasing and constant recognition of context and balance are something we only expect in the greatest of operatic sopranos. Aretha, singing primarily gospel, soul and R & B is an outlier in that respect. Very few singers ever or even come close. Perfection is rarely attainable but Aretha was as close as can be. Wonderful.
True. And Whitney
That woman is, and always will be, a national treasure!
I strongly agree
You can absolutely tell that she started singing in a church choir.
What happens when one of the greatest voices EVER....sings one of your songs on a night you are being recognized for contributions in song writing...absolute perfection. Between the master performance from Aretha and the reactions from Carole King, this is a timeless performance. Bethany thanks for pulling this one out.
it's wild when you know Aretha gave this amazing performance while she was battling cancer
70+ years old during that performance, and still sounds better than ALL of these kids on the radio now. She's The Queen for a reason.
Aretha Franklin. Absolute Queen and legend.
Cried all the way through.
My mom passed away last May 2023 fue to liver cancer. We used to listen to Aretha's songs. I'll always treasure those moments.
She was so fantastic. Her voice was so unique and soulful. I saw this performance when it first aired and Inwas mesmerized. Hard to believe she was battling pancreatic cancer at this time. She was aptly named The Queen of Soul. ❤️🇨🇦
Just goes out and gets a standing ovation from the president, pretty epic.
This is a performance of a lifetime, you can see how Carole King was more than thrilled by this and when she dropped her coat to the floor, epic!
A once in a lifetime experience, imagine being there 🙏🙏❤️❤️
this performance was special as we all learned she was very sick, she past roughly the following year from advanced pancreatic cancer.
Freddie Mercury loved Aretha he idolised her - that says something about her.
I always cry at the final part, can't help it, it's heavenly beautiful.
I've watched this so often, I start crying before she starts singing!
I still get emotional listening to this performance, like I feel it's one of those greatest moments of humanity. Aretha has been a blessing for us all.
She’d been through the wringer physically by this performance, she’d been diagnosed with cancer and she was 76 yrs old. Amazing.
The One the Only, Aretha Franklin.!
For sure one of the greatest singers of all time, for me. I loved "Think" in "The Blues Brothers". It seems like she has the ability to pull out power with apparently zero effort.
Love that scene in Blues Brothers!! Completely agree about zero effort... She gives life to the phrase "I woke up like this."
@@TheVocalyst Exactly. She's the embodiment of the phrase, "the true measure of excellence is making that which is difficult appear easy."
My mom's favorite singer. I imagine she was there to welcome Aretha to heaven.
Just in passing ... She was 72 at the time. Queen, forever.
Piotr K ... She was 73
I remember watching this on tv when it aired. My roommate in one room and me in the other and it was complete silence, (mesmerized) as we watched until she threw that coat off and we both screamed YAAAASSSS QUUEEENN!!!!
This is the power of music make you laugh cry love it she is so amazing
Oh my... Each time I listen to her, she makes me cry. Diva. I believe heaven should be where Pavarotti sings "Nessun Dorma" and Aretha Franklin sings "A Natural Woman".
She (Aretha ) and Whitney are the best treasures in music history
Absolutely one of my favorite live performances, without question. The emotion emanating from the stage was met in full measure by the audience's appreciation rebounding back to Aretha. I've always wondered what lie behind Carole King's shocked expressions. I know many of the Kennedy Center honorees are unaware of who exactly will be joining in the tributes. Carole King seemed to be successively shocked by, first, Aretha's presence, then, oh, Aretha's playing the piano, then OH, Aretha's singing as well. If I'm not mistaken, this was in the midst of or shortly after Aretha's illlness. What a magnificent uniquely American voice, life and legacy. Thanks for the analysis of her voice.
Aretha sang Carole's arrangement rather than her own. Listening to someone singing your own song better than you do, in your own style, must have been an extraordinary feeling.
I had the privilege of seeing Aretha perform live in her last tour before she died. One of the most captivating and commanding performers ever, and definitely a bucket list experience!
Truly a QUEEN!!! Such a powerful performance 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
She is the trully queen, no doubt about it...
2:24 - Haha, when you talked about her stage presence after only hearing the beginning of her performance...all I could think was "JUST WAIT FOR IT!!" What a LEGEND!
A performance never to be seen again.
What makes this even more special? It was her last public performance before her death. She was suffering from pancreatic cancer, and was undergoing treatment at this time. It adds another dimension to this performance, at least in my opinion. She was staring death in the face, and was going to continue to do what she did best, right up until the end.
Btw ,where did you find this copy of the performance? It seems like it's the unedited version of it, and not the usual one that's seen not only on RUclips, but is also different than the original broadcast version.
This would be her last televised performance, but not her last public performance. She continued to do shows. ruclips.net/video/1oMgRfQOUxw/видео.html
She has such a distinctive sound - you just know when Aretha sings! She’s all class! Nice one Beth👍
We all live by the grace of Aretha...
How is that for vocal range???? I remember a weekend several years ago, I was online on RUclips. I clicked on Aretha's Respect. I called all of my children to me and told them watch & listen to this. She just opens hear mouth and these heavenly sounds emerged. She is so relaxed and great. At times you can hear the church influence in her singing. I thought Carole was going to hop up. She was enjoying this SO much!!!
Aretha is in God's arms and choir now. May she rest in peace!
Sweet Jesus that was grand! If that did not move you, go get a hearing test. Thank you lady.. Lastly they did not call her the queen for no reason at all. She was wonderful.... Thank goodness we have video and recording of her.....
She was very very ill at this time (she held on for 2 more years but had been increasingly sick). You wouldn't ever know it from this performance.
The fur coat always cracks me up. I think there was some social media bitching at the time. But she didn't give a @#&% what anyone thought other than Carole King.
I was lucky enough to see Aretha play about 20 years ago at a private show. So amazing to witness.
Beautiful reaction to Aretha Franklin ❤ and of course Carol King in bkground. Love it
Aretha Franklin, Eurtha eartha, how she's got the voice of Mother Earth, wisened, and so agile, almost casual too, as if she's seen IT all, and yet full of pasion. Incredibel performance, thank your Bethany, for presenting Earhty Franklin to us, fans.
I like the first assessment within the first three minutes. I believe she seems to carry life, or experiences, in a raw sense of maturity, which seems to be captured in her vocal style.
The opening alone seems to set a very warm standard as of being informally invited into her space. And that seems to be the “stage presence” we as numerous audience members are experiencing.
It seems intimate and almost innocent in the sense of a non-performance gathering despite having dignitaries and the songwriter gazing at her. And that is maturity’s ability to be comfortable enough that the artist can control the space and take us, as audience members, into their space rather than the other way around. No nervous energy is present in this legend’s 2016 presence.
But the BGV’s ability to highlight that song is worth acknowledging as well: i.e., 5:20-5:30; WOW! Absolutely stunning BGV’s, in my opinion.❤
The Queen of Soul ! She don’t need a. Coach ! Do a video of An. Wilson please !
I don't know if you've seen the video of her singing 'Amazing Grace' live in her dad's church, but it's a must watch.
BTW, when she was first signed, they didn't know that to do with her. Wasn't selling albums. Finally found her style.
There's Aretha and then everyone else.
I love your reaction to watching this stellar performance. Every time I watch this, my eyes well up in emotion...like with no other performance I've ever seen. Thanks for your insights!
I think it was such a compliment to Cheryl….and yes that was a powerful iconic performance.
" You Make Me Feel like) A Natural Woman " was written by Carol King, Jerry Wexler, Gerry Goffin. Record in September 1967 at American Sound Studio in Memphis,TN. The House Band at Atlantic Records.

This song is written in the key of A and 3/4 🎵= 38 .
Aww, thanks for adding this, I had no idea Carole was a writer on this song. This makes it even more special. What an honor.
It’s almost like there are two forms of art here. There is a powerful song and an incredible singer. To me Aretha’s genius is she knows the artistry of the song and even though her voice is the center piece, finds ways to let the song take the center stage and push the audience experience. And then come back in and out of that ebb and flow.
Her version of Nossa Dormi (spelling) on an Oscars show, filling in for Pavoratti, is memorizing.
Chills!!!! Amazing singer, my favorite with Whitney. Both church singers originally. And yes raspy because she was a smoker for most of her life.
What a legendary artist ! It's always a pleasure to look at your reactions ! Difficult to explain , but somehow It's like you're Tinkerbell coming back from Neverland 😊
This is so amazing I’m im awe. One of the worlds best
So incredible.
Greatness Honouring Greatness ❤️ I totally agree with your comment about how her voice doesn't sound tired or unable, but rather, mature and how this lends an 'informed' sound to amplify the depth of the lyrics.. 💯👍
Can you imagine being there and hearing greatness like this!!
Stephen Colbert was hosting that event (The Kennedy Center Honors) and, after Aretha Franklin passed away, he said about that evening that he was very excited to see and hear her perform but only wished he could have seen her when she was younger...but boy was he wrong when he heard her sing! ruclips.net/video/6dO1kGAXBO0/видео.html
❤❤❤❤❤Love her!
Most of my favorite singers are male but Aretha, along with Janis and Etta, stands toe to toe with ANYONE in my book.
Aretha gets into the marrow of your bones.
Another singer that still sounds awesome when she older is Shirley Bassey singing gold finger in 2011 and I think she’s 74 at that time.
That 2016 performance was amazing.
Your reaction is lovely. It is such a beautiful performance that it would make anyone emotional, in a good way.
This is when she had just found out she was dying from cancer big reason everyone was crying noone expected her to be there
Que hermosa mujer saludos desde chile
i saw her live around this time.. so unreal.
queen aretha of soul , blues and gospel music . so impressed and awestruck is obamy but wheres billy, nancy and hillary
Check out Aretha in the Blues Brothers. Tons of great soundtrack and the most cop cars in a car chase (through a mall) and princess Leah with a bazooka. Ya, you heard me lmao. Plain white toast and four fried chickens…
People forget that this performance happened shortly after Beyoncé controversially called Tina Tuner the "Queen of Soul"... I remember seeing this performance at the time and thinking "this is Aretha reminding Beyoncé - and everyone else - who the Queen of Soul really is". The most royal "hold my purse" moment you will ever see.
You should have talked about Carol King who wrote this song and was being honored by Aretha Franklin!
Who wrote the melody. Her partner Gerry Goffin, wrote the words.
I'm a new subscriber, I'm 70, been into music forever, I have literally seen everybody in my days, got to see this group 4 times, amazing!!! You need to hear Melody Cristea of LILIAC, ORIGINAL VIDEO NOTHING, SAIL AWAY, LIVE VERSION OF NOT AFRAID, SHE DOES EVERYTHING WITH HER VOICE, SHE CAN HIT HIS NOTES AND GO LOW LIKE NO GET OUT!! SOLO VIDEO OF IVE BEEN MISTREATED BY DEEP PURPLE, FAMILY BAND OF 5 BROTHERS AND SISTERS
You are so beautiful...and your voice. Kisses from Perú.
Fantastic.
I'm yet to get to the end of this without tears ! It's so annoying
Lol, but sp beautiful ❤ RIP Queen of soul.
beautiful , if you didn't get lost in that I would be surprised.
Maybe a little Sinatra? : My Way?
Thank you for your show, it's pretty cool
Totally understandable reaction. She was life itself.
The whole place got everyone enveloped.

Link above is just one of my FAVORITES of ARETHA’S covers.
🎼 Bridge over troubled waters 🎶

Great review. Review luther vandross a house is not a home live performance at the 19th naacp image awards.His range is legendary
If you want to hear another full voice try Maria Dolores Pradera. It's full of harmonics in the physics sense of the word.
I saw that it was for Carol King who wrote this song a many many many more
FOI LINDO DEMAISGIRL
Amo suas reações, mas está me emocionou ao extremo!!
Se você puder colocar a tradução em português ficarei imensamente grata!!❤️❤️❤️
I'm like number 1000 ❤❤❤
I love her song respect is an anthem, loved her in a blues Brothers PS you can’t say that the 2 blues brothers was not as good as the 1st, the 2nd one had such good music like at these with B.B king and others as well as having Aretha. She is the definition of what everybody aspires to be a lovely and true person who sang with purpose and with Respect.
Lyrics to Respect
Hey, what you want
(Oo) Baby, I got
(Oo) What you need
(Oo) Do you know I got it?
(Oo) All I'm askin'
(Oo) Is for a little respect when you come home (just a little bit)
Hey baby (just a little bit) when you get home
(Just a little bit) mister (just a little bit)
I ain't gonna do you wrong while you're gone
Ain't gonna do you wrong (oo) 'cause I don't wanna (oo)
All I'm askin' (oo)
Is for a little respect when you come home (just a little bit)
Baby (just a little bit) when you get home (just a little bit)
Yeah (just a little bit)
I'm about to give you all of my money
And all I'm askin' in return, honey
Is to give me my profits
When you get home (just a, just a, just a, just a)
Yeah baby (just a, just a, just a, just a)
When you get home (just a little bit)
Yeah (just a little bit) Do it for me now, just a little bit
Ooo, your kisses (oo)
Sweeter than honey (oo)
And guess what? (oo)
So is my money (oo)
All I want you to do (oo) for me
Is give it to me when you get home (re, re, re, re)
Yeah baby (re, re, re, re)
Whip it to me (respect, just a little bit)
When you get home, now (just a little bit)
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Take care, TCB
Oh (sock it to me, sock it to me
Sock it to me, sock it to me)
A little respect (sock it to me, sock it to me
Sock it to me, sock it to me)
Whoa, babe (just a little bit)
A little respect (just a little bit)

Or you might walk in (respect, just a little bit)
And find out I'm gone (just a little bit)

Lyrics to Think
You better think (think)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Think (think, think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
Let's go back, let's go back
Let's go way on, way back when
I didn't even know you
You couldn't have been too much more than ten (just a child)
I ain't no psychiatrist, I ain't no doctor with degrees
But, it don't take too much high IQ's
To see what you're doing to me
You better think (think)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
Oh, freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom)
Oh, freedom, yeah, freedom
Freedom (freedom), oh, oh freedom (freedom)
Freedom, oh freedom
Hey, think about it, think about it
There ain't nothing you could ask
I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
But I was gonna change, but I'm not
If you keep doing things I don't
You better think (think)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Oh Lord, think (think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
People walking around everyday
Playing games, taking scores
Trying to make other people lose their minds
Ah, be careful you don't lose yours, oh
Think (think)
Think about what you're trying to do to me, ooh
Think (think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
You need me (need me)
And I need you (don't you know)
Without each other there ain't nothing people can do, oh
Oh, hey, think about it, baby (What are you trying to do me)
Yeah, oh baby, think about it now, yeah
(Think about forgiveness, dream about forgiveness)
Think about forgiveness
Think about it, baby, baby
Think about forgiveness
Think about forgiveness
Think about forgiveness
Lyrics to Natural women
Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you
Life was so unkind
You're the key
To my piece of mind
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
Like a natural woman
(Woman)
When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful
Of what I'm livin' for
And if I make you happy
I don't need to do more
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
Like a natural woman
(Woman)
Oh baby, what ya done to me
(Whatcha done to me)
Made me feel so good inside
(Good inside)
And I just wanna be close to you
(Wanna be)
You make me feel so alive
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
Like a natural woman
(Woman)
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
Like a natural woman
(Woman)
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
Like a natural woman
(Woman)
Her best 3 song, RIP The queen of soul and The icon of the 70’s I hope that u can play forever now with Respect and as a women, without prejudice or racism for people who still bagger u wherever you are I hope you said to them Think
When someone says she has the "Queen" title and you hear the evidence...
Another American Treasure
we wait ur reaction to yebba - my mind live Sofar NYC ; it will blow u away, its a must, u will not understand what happened and see why she is problably the best singer at the moment !
You must watch and react to Arnel Pineda singing Faithfully live in Manila. He is the vocalist of the band Journey.
I love the version from the Japan show...can't go wrong either way.
Etta James please💞💞🙏
They saw soul when that coat came off.
Try this Claire Austin sings the blues.
8 months ago you said you can't wait to do the next Lara Fabian reaction. I've been waiting. I would suggest Adagio or Caruso from the concert from Lara with love (1999 or 2000: the same than you did Je suis malade). Thank you :)
And THAT ladies & gentleman is how it’s done! Great reaction Bethany!
Side note: at the very beginning Carol turns her head and says…Aretha never plays the piano! Aretha was an incredible pianist and she rarely played the piano live…Carol was thrilled that she did so that night. The song was a big hit for Carol, but after Aretha released her version…Carol said…this is Aretha’s song now. Class acts…both of them!
The song was written for Franklin! Jerry Wexler asked King and Goffin to write a song for his natural woman. King and Goffin gave him writing credits.
