RIP Tony Bennett (August 3, 1926 - July 21, 2023), aged 96 And RIP Aretha Franklin (March 25, 1942 - August 16, 2018), aged 76 You both will be remembered as legends.
Thank you JackSpry9736 for taking the time. The moment when we wanted that info, as we listen to this, maybe the best of Tony's DUETS. He never allowed himself a favorite, but there's this tear streaming down his left cheek at song's end. Goosebumps, ev'ry time.
Because she is capable of rewriting the music. She is one of those who you give 7 notes and she can come up with 70 different versions. Her voice is only her 3d talent what an ear can hear. However, she sings in other dimensions and she just plays the music. The notes are under her command. She reigns the music. She is the one leading .She does not follow the notes. The notes follow her .
@@champagnemlsthe BEST description of Aretha’s genius that I’ve ever read that fully captures her complete approach to music. Thank you for your commentary: it truly compliments the genius that IS Aretha. ❤️
This world is broken without legends like them….this is music that makes you get into your feels and you can understand the lyrics. Raw, real, not much rehearsed🥰
Thank you Tony and Miss Aretha im glad you have been spared what is about to unfold in this country may love shine through these dark times thank you Tony for putting up a fight against evil and thank you for the service you gave this great nation sir i salute you ❤
What a blessing, right? And to think everything is at our fingertips, just enter "Tony and Aretha" and you're taken here. In fully 3 seconds. As I tell the grand kids (8 of 'em) this is the best time in human history to be alive. Your comment frankbarcelona2118 reminded me of my oldest grandson now 27. He was two years old when Chet Atkins died and said to me then, "Grampa we will always have his songs."
They both knew that they were acclaimed as "great" but retained those two chief features required of all us ordinary souls, if we are as you say, to end up "in the arms of God." Gentleness, and humility of heart. No third thing required. Imagine!
As a musician, this duet between these two legends moved me beyond words. The humanity of these talented vocalists expressed with such genuine emotion. Thank you artists.
I really love this arrangement, because it puts the smooth-voiced Tony Bennett with the vocal powerhouse known as Aretha Franklin. Rest in Peace, Mrs. Franklin and Mr. Bennett. We'll keep the music playing for you.
This is magnificent beyond words,my Father loved Tony Bennett and Aretha Franklin and it's a great memory for me,because we used to sing with this song driving to run errands. We looked at each other when it was almost over,and both of us were crying....A wonderful wonderful moment ❤ in time .I miss you Daddy so much...
I just realized Mr Bennett had a tear streaming down his cheek at the end......He sang that song probably hundreds of times, yet he was still moved enough to cry.
It’s a crying shame that the living rarely appreciate the god given talents of our talented members of society until they are gone. RIL Mr. Bennet & Mrs. Franklin❤
Rest in peace Tony and Aretha. "Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life; and everyone who is living and exercises faith in me will never die at all. Do you believe this?” She said to him: “Yes, Lord, I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one coming into the world.” (John 11: 25-27)
This song keeps me in TEARS. Just Lovely! Two great Performers making beautiful music together. Thank you, Ms. Aretha Franklin and Thank you, Mr. Tony Bennett. l also want to Thank you both for your Contributions in the Music industry as well as your Contributions in the Civil Rights Movement of the U. S. A. Rest well both of you, in Eternal Peace.

"They're both gone now but thank God their music will never end," said one reply below the video. I had to respond: "What a blessing, right? And to think everything is at our fingertips, just enter "Tony and Aretha" and you're taken here. In fully 3 seconds.

Totally agree with you, Mark, i think too we're all living at the peak of our civilization. Yes, we can do much better but also much worse and through the technology we are now allowed to pass down to posterity entire portion of our lives and the works of these magnificent artists. Your grandson's answer after Atkins' passing was impressive: he was literally saying that some gifted people between us can now reach the immortality, a goal granted only to Gods. This is a serious and deep stuff to realize, it always amazed me how children could change the way you see the world in a blink of an eye with just an innocent sentence. Big hug from Italy, hope you and your family will always keep the music playing.
I love listening to Aretha Franklin singing. The reason I say that is because with each song she sings, she has lived it!! Authentically speaking t That's her life has had a lot of trauma in it so unless you have walked in her shoes Do not judge. She walked in many shoes, she was beatin down. She was divorced four times, she was hit by men and yet still she found beauty in the music that she sang. The depth of her soul is a immeasurable. Thank you, Aretha for showing the world how we all have problems, none of us are any different than the other. What counts is in the end that you stand strong, proud and true. True. . RIP 4:12 Aretha
The music is never ending for you both now. Endless duets & chorales of joyous praise...✝🙌 Thank you for sharing your God given gifts with the world. 🎶
It is mentioned by someone else below, but deserves mention again. At exactly min 4:19 in the song, a tear runs down Tony Bennett's left cheek. Who knows why exactly, but my hunch is that he was thinking about the passage of time and that there he is still singing with another icon of jazz - a moment that they've captured forever and it will keep playing.
Eko Prasetyo I read in a comment elsewhere that AF was presented to Quincy Jones at age 12, and recently another 12 years old did too. Worth to hear: AJ, Angelina Jordan, I’m sure she will “put a spell on you” :)
Aretha,... You know it took me some time and a bit of God conscious to hear that Aretha Franklin was a gospel singer. That most everything she sang was gospel, even the most pop songs (not her disco stuff cause come on...) The gospel run she did at the end on 'never ends' has me about to start testifying. If this were church, the puano would keep playing with her singing Neeeeevvaaaaaaa. Nevvvvahhh... ' as when she sang the hymn' Never Grow Old," from when she was child age. I know Tony was getin the spirit. In another version of this, I see a tear running down his face. That was me too... 🌹🌹🌹🌹
I feel so fortunate to have grown up in an era where the ability to discern and appreciate great songs and singers was still intact. God bless you both Aretha and Tony.
The tear at the end.....Only can a musical moment like this, shared by two of the the most gifted artists of any era, this song having the pleasure of being the conduit, produce such a result.
This is 10 points, a AAA + poehhh, Aretha, poehh how much Black sister soul can you put in this song? And Tony how original classic jazzy can you be with a New York flavour? You can hear and feel the love that they have for the music by putting it in this song, there are not words who can expres this feeling
My sweetheart of sixty years left me after sixty beautiful years. When I miss her I play Tony and let him sing my love song to her, He sings it with with every fiber of his 80 some years.
You will be never forgotten and brought alive with a touch of a pad on the internet and a record .....you never left me you have just gone on another journey...see you one day xx❤
Here you understand once more who is Aretha Franklin. This lady moves the notes hanging in the air. She grabs them, throw in the air, make them flip, catch them. She is doing acrobacy and finally throwing the ball to Tony. And this is a real Duet.

Thank you, the beautiful music will live on!!!!!!!!
TWO OF THE GREATEST
What astonishes me about Aretha is that she does all this vocal acrobatics but it doesn't sound rehearsed, it sounds raw, perfect and natural
Because she is capable of rewriting the music. She is one of those who you give 7 notes and she can come up with 70 different versions. Her voice is only her 3d talent what an ear can hear.

and so easy for her
Wow, amazing! Tony Bennett can sing with any super star ❤
The power of soul
When a grown man like me can be brought to tears from a song, certainly demonstrates these two MASTERS command of a song!
These lyrics written by the Bergmans can't fail to move you.
Heart and soulful emotive musical geniuses.
Crying is very underrated
MTV n8
You weren't the only man crying. Did you see the lone tear going down Tony's face at the end? Such an emotional piece. Classic!!!
RIP Tony Bennett
RIP Aretha Franklin
Thank you for keeping the music playing
These singers of today could never even come close.
Oh yes
That's true. Today's singers exceed this sloppy ass vocals that y'all are overhyping. Gurl are you deaf
Not an ice cube chance in hell

This lady made tony cry she truly was a goddess
She didn’t make him cry. He had a personal connection to this song.
Tony and Aretha are together in heaven now performing for God. He just passed yesterday. They are legends that will be missed. 😢
No wonder Rolling Stone has named her the Queen of the Queens

A absolutely beautiful song by two powerful singers... they don't make them like this! Glad I lived during their prime!!!
Two great singers now in the arms of God and singing in the heavenly choir.
Amen
Missing them. We lost a ton of greatness in 2023!

Oh you poor thing you.
How have I never heard this before?! 😮 Beautiful.
As a musician, this duet between these two legends moved me beyond words. The humanity of these talented vocalists expressed with such genuine emotion. Thank you artists.
How about tears, sitting here bawling thinking about how Aretha is gone and Tony has serious health issues. Thank heavens for these wonderful videos.
Kind and wise words
Check out the "Body And Soul" duet as well, with Amy Winehouse ...
This song reminds me of lost loves and how they touched my soul . Good bye my friends . We will see each other one day again .
@@fifermcgee5971 This is one time I can say "THANK YOU" You Tube for capturing these iconic performers. Blessings....
ARETHA FRANKLIN AND TONY BENNETT !!!!!
RIP Both Of Them.❤
Only professionals can produce this masterpiece. RESPECT !!!!!!
Word can’t describe…that’s why we have music
❤*
What Aretha does here is nothing short of utter genius. Her musicality and instincts were so remarkable, there should be classes taught on it.
Do you realize how sadly stupid this remark about the classes thing is? Society, capitalism and the state is really a cancer.
Yes, she was the greatest.

Some things can't be taught, you have to feel them in your soul.

Fly High Tony and Aretha!, what an amazing artists. Thank you for the wonderful music that both of you have given in this world. RIP♥️🎼🎶
Amen....
Well said!😊
that´s the truth
😍😓
I really love this arrangement, because it puts the smooth-voiced Tony Bennett with the vocal powerhouse known as Aretha Franklin. Rest in Peace, Mrs. Franklin and Mr. Bennett. We'll keep the music playing for you.
I agree with you in gender, number and degree.,
Aretha and Tony...two SUPER STARS!!!!
I can't believe how good this pairing is. Two legends.

I’ve always loved Aretha but when they’re singing together, it makes me realize why is she’s the queen of soul. There is no one like her.

Shhh don't tell the others but this is my favorite reply. Concise yet anecdotal --- a joy to read! Thanks Lindacon3736 for sharing with us.
You could watch duets for the rest of your life and you would never see this one's equal.
Now they will sing together in heaven.
Icons forever!!!
How many Artists can pull off 100% totally positive reviews? I can only think of Two.
I just realized Mr Bennett had a tear streaming down his cheek at the end......He sang that song probably hundreds of times, yet he was still moved enough to cry.
4:37 THE LOW NOTE!!! HOW?? Nobody will ever convince me she's not the greatest singer of all time.
Voz de peito
Excelente mesmo👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
She isn't. Idiot 😅
Sit down and be quiet 😅
The way he shed a tear at the end really moved me.
Hi misty, how's your day going with you?
We will keep the music playing for you, Tony and Aretha. You both blessed us beyond measure with your gifts.
Well said!
These singers get better with age if that's possible
I’m listening right now in 2021
It’s a crying shame that the living rarely appreciate the god given talents of our talented members of society until they are gone. RIL Mr. Bennet & Mrs. Franklin❤
I keep revisiting this fantastic collaboration over the years and each time it moves me to tears...it touches my soul ❤ 🙏
The news just announced Tony’s passing. I immediately went to this video. Legends forever. ❤
Tony is like the wine. The older, the better.
Whew,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, that is tear- jerking.
Ladies and gentlemen...
I find myself kinda Speechless here.
Two Passed Legends....
It brings tears to my eyes😢😢

K Vo I know I've already listened to it 20+ times between yesterday & today lol
Thank you for saying that!
I love the way she looks at him early on in the song. You can see her melt. My interpretation is it's pure love. And Tony's tear at the end.
Aretha blew this right out of the sky
Here you understand once more who is Aretha Franklin. This lady moves the notes hanging in the air. She grabs them, throw in the air, make them flip, catch them. She is doing acrobacy and finally throwing the ball to Tony. And this is a real Duet.
I can only conclude that anyone that clicked the thumbs down does not understand nor appreciate real music and artistry
