She had a baby when she was 13, bless her heart. .Life was not always easy for her, but she helped so many. What tears all her fans are shedding from their hearts today. An incredible talent and sister in Christ is gone but not ever forgotten.
Aretha is living proof that whatever GOD puts in your DNA is with you all the days of your life. This woman is 71 and can still deliver. Nothing but the grace of GOD.
It sure is!!!!! God bless 😇 her soul, my mom named me after her in 1963!!!! My mom has been a fan of the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin 😢💔 since high school, wow!!!!!! Sing Queen 💙💕 we miss you so much!!!!! That powerful voice of hers!!!!! Take care of yourself and your family during this coronovirus pandemic 😷 ok. Much love from Bunn NC.👋💖😀!!!!!
@@iAmBrothaDee I know right, I'm still so sad 😢💔🌹!!!!! And she died on my late grandmother's birthday, I was sad 😢 💔 the whole day 👼👼 RIP to them both. Much love from Bunn NC 💖👋.
RIP Aretha Franklin May you rejoice in the presence of the Lord and through your song God will take care of you i became a new man reborn in Jesus ty till we meet again
I love Aretha ! my heart and soul is filled up whenever I hear your singing ! When Aretha places her fingers on those eighty - eighty keys were in land where we never grow old.
People (including myself) often forget that Queen Ree has been singing PROFESSIONALLY over 60 years now...NONSTOP...that'll tax any singers voice all by itself. Even with a fraction of what she had in her prime, she still outsings most singers. ESPECIALLY a Gospel song. Love her to life. Always praying her strength.
Aretha is the Queen of Soul no matter what. Of course with aging and singing your ass off for so many years time will wear on your voice. She's still the queen.
Aretha Franklin was Truly Blessed With Talent , Singing & Playing That Piano .,OMG ❤️ I am Blessed I Lived to Experience This Blessing in My Lifetime ✊🏽❤️😍 RIP , Sister Aretha ...
I don't get why people have to come on here and point out this and that and flaws and whatever. This woman is a living legend. Enjoy her musical prowess while we can.
I noticed that Aretha’s voice wasn't the best here. However, The Queen Still sound better than the best of today's artist. Long Live the Queen. (in spirit)❤️
C J age does that to people. It’s just a fact of life. No one will be as good as they were in their prime otherwise there would be no such thing as a prime.
Aretha didn't play when it came to her music RICHARD! where is the sustaining paddle for the Queen! I bet you won't forget again. Lol. I love this woman so much, we have truly list a natural treasure, and a friend to all of mankind. RIHP my forever Queen. For as long as man shall live so shall your legacy, and that's eternal. We love you Queen Of Soul.
RIP on this day Aug 16, 2018. Can really hear the changes coming on by listening to "piano" videos from 2010, 2011 & this one in 2013. Thank you Ms Aretha. Much love.
Every recording artist may have a bad day once in a while. The sound mix may be a bit muddy, but I don't believe Aretha has ever given less than 100%. It is always a treat to see Aretha playing the piano, and i wish she'd do more of it!
Thank you Aretha sharing the gift that God blessed you with sharing it others you will never be forgotten what you contribute to make a difference when time was rough we appreciate all she did may God keep her love one at this difficult time may bless them.
We as black people are so sad when we talk about our own We all know Aretha is Old and not like she used to be and I'm sure she knows that also but like she said a few years ago she will keep singing until she's in a wheel chair with her head leaning to the side which was funny when she said that even to her self if you don't have anything to say nice about a person who ever they are just kept it to your self cause she will be remember as one the Greats and the best of when it came to singing
Bishop L - you don't have to be black to honor this beautiful woman & appreciate her gift but no white woman can feel her life story like her "brothers & sisters."
I lovee me some ree!!!! She is the best hands down shes tired she has her good days and bad ones this was a bad day for her and im sure she knows that no matter how she sounds now i know what she has done for music soul gospel blued etc and for african americans in the field of music and civil rights her voice is timeless wheather she still has it or not 21 grammys 52 number 1 records 62 albums first african american to be on time magazine granted key to the city street named after her her voice
A skill she possess that set her apart from her peers, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, Patti Labelle, Tina Turner, Dionne Warwick, all who were out and Big in the 60s, only Aretha could play the piano as well as she could sing and write some of her songs..when you can play and write your own music and Sing..that is a feat few possess. Many great singers can not play any instruments let alone write their own material. Aretha did..props to her for that..tip my hat and still sound like Aretha.
Ms. Aretha opened up with the mention that she recorded this song, Never Grow Old, at 13. It was recorded by my father, Joe Von Battle, in Detroit on his record label JVB. He had a life-long relationship with her father, the Rev. C.L. Franklin, and recorded every one of his over 100 sermons and songs put on wax. I live to keep my father's legacy alive, and to honor his genius at being the first to record these two musical masters. Read more on my website: Marsha Music - A Grown Woman's Tales Of Detroit.
I appreciate her equal gifts of singing as well as playing piano. I, like Ms. Franklin prefer a sustain pedal when playing piano. Without it, one is limited to ad-lib
The Gospelfest was great this year, and Aretha put on an excellent performance. However, this was not her opening song. Her first song was WE NEED POWER. This performance of NEVER GROW OLD came after a brief break during which her youngest son rapped.
Aretha is ol' school. She'll check you in front of an 8,000 person congregation about a sustaining peddle and then give it all to God 60 second later. She'll beat yo' behind before service and lay it on the altar when service starts. Real. No joke.
FIRST: OF all, WHO ARE YOU to tell A GREAT LEGENDARY RECORDING ARTIST, who been Playing Piano since she was like 4 or 5yrs old, and been Recording & Making Hit RECORDS ...SINCE....she was 12yrs old! Who the HELL ARE YOU???!! You can't even match up to the dirt under her fingernails with YOUR Talent. I'ma be here when she's 120yrs old and they roll her out in a wheelchair up to the Steinway! And I'ma be the one sayin SANG, Ms.Ree SANG!! QUESTION: What the hell TALENT...DO YOU HAVE???!!!
Aretha's scats were on point, especially when she sung "Until You Come Back to Me"...there was nothing "OK" about that performance...even Mariah can't even do what Aretha can live and Aretha is 30 years her senior. Aretha can sing jazz, gospel, classical...and she's over 70...and I've heard Aretha sing gospel live since I'm from Detroit...the girls a vocal beast. There's a commercial of her doing an Ella Fitzgerald song and then she goes into a scat that would make most singers jealous.
Her voice had not opened up yet when she did this one, she sounded great on the songs that followed this such as `Give yourself to Jesus` and `We need Power.
Love Aretha but I don't understand why people keep saying she sounds the same....she sounds nothing like she use to back in the day. She can still sing very well though!
This voice will definitely be missed. Rest in eternal peace Aretha.
She had a baby when she was 13, bless her heart. .Life was not always easy for her, but she helped so many. What tears all her fans are shedding from their hearts today. An incredible talent and sister in Christ is gone but not ever forgotten.
this woman takes church with her everywhere she sing s ....wow
Amen. She wasn’t afraid to own her God. No matter where...
Aretha is living proof that whatever GOD puts in your DNA is with you all the days of your life. This woman is 71 and can still deliver. Nothing but the grace of GOD.
AMEN AMEN AMEN 🙏 🙏💕 💕 TOO GOD BE THE GLORY FOR ANOINTING OUR SISTER QUEEN OF SOUL ARETHA FRANKLIN AMAZING GRACE VOICE 😇 😇 AMEN AMEN AMEN 🙏 🙏💕 💕
Aretha performed but more than that she lived her gift! That makes her THE QUEEN OF SOUL!
Heaven's choir is today finally complete. Thank you Lord!
You made me smile with this comment, thank you.
It sure is!!!!! God bless 😇 her soul, my mom named me after her in 1963!!!! My mom has been a fan of the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin 😢💔 since high school, wow!!!!!! Sing Queen 💙💕 we miss you so much!!!!! That powerful voice of hers!!!!! Take care of yourself and your family during this coronovirus pandemic 😷 ok. Much love from Bunn NC.👋💖😀!!!!!
Wow. It's been 2 years already.

Love everything about this Lady..... Everything.... She will be missed... Rest in peace baby....
I love it when Aretha plays the piano while singing which displays her great musical talent.
Am overwhelmed Everytime I hear her voice, it put tears in my heart
RIP Aretha Franklin May you rejoice in the presence of the Lord and through your song God will take care of you i became a new man reborn in Jesus ty till we meet again
One of the best pure singers of all time!!!!!
Ellis Herring.. check out Aretha playing piano on My Cup runneth over. excellent
Love Aretha !
I love Aretha ! my heart and soul is filled up whenever I hear your singing ! When Aretha places her fingers on those eighty - eighty keys were in land where we never grow old.
She is music and music is she. We are so blessed to bear witness to her greatness.
her voice was and is still beautiful,
People (including myself) often forget that Queen Ree has been singing PROFESSIONALLY over 60 years now...NONSTOP...that'll tax any singers voice all by itself. Even with a fraction of what she had in her prime, she still outsings most singers. ESPECIALLY a Gospel song. Love her to life. Always praying her strength.
Lets not forget she's in her 70s. Sounds amazing.
Aretha is the Queen of Soul no matter what. Of course with aging and singing your ass off for so many years time will wear on your voice. She's still the queen.
Aretha Franklin was Truly Blessed With Talent , Singing & Playing That Piano .,OMG ❤️
I am Blessed I Lived to Experience This Blessing in My Lifetime ✊🏽❤️😍
RIP , Sister Aretha ...
Even though the piano wasn’t work like it was supposed to, and she seemed a little upset about it she still did an AWESOME JOB as usual!!!
I'd be a bit pissed too if they didn't have a sustain pedal working for me either. It's like having a golfer play without their cleats.
Wow Aretha's been in the game almost 60 years, Dominating......The most charted Female singer EVER !!!!!!
EVER SAY THAT AGAIN!!!!!!!!! THANKS BE TO THE MOST HIGH 😇 😇 AMEN AMEN AMEN 🙏 🙏💕 💕
SHE IS THE BEST SINGER ON EITHER SIDE OF HEAVEN. AND A DARN GOOD MUSICIAN ALSO.
I don't get why people have to come on here and point out this and that and flaws and whatever. This woman is a living legend. Enjoy her musical prowess while we can.
A P - yes!
A P t 6 y tv oh v guy c.f. yt? to Turner 2
uh tunaturner9
a legend like the late Ella Jane Fitzgerald
I noticed that Aretha’s voice wasn't the best here. However, The Queen Still sound better than the best of today's artist. Long Live the Queen. (in spirit)❤️
C J age does that to people. It’s just a fact of life. No one will be as good as they were in their prime otherwise there would be no such thing as a prime.
Sing Queen Aretha Franklin this is one of my favorite gospel greats sing sing .....R. I. P. Beloved
I had the pleasure and great honor to be present at two Wolf Trap Appearances (2007 and 2008). What a voice.
I wish I could’ve witnessed her greatness live in concert. She was a legend, and will be missed.
People can say such mean things. I love Aretha. I still think she's great..
Aretha didn't play when it came to her music RICHARD! where is the sustaining paddle for the Queen! I bet you won't forget again. Lol. I love this woman so much, we have truly list a natural treasure, and a friend to all of mankind. RIHP my forever Queen. For as long as man shall live so shall your legacy, and that's eternal.

Sempre muita saudades de Aretha Franklin Grande cantora
Aretha was a beautiful full figured woman rip 👑 thanks for your talent .
A skill she possess that set her apart from her peers, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, Patti Labelle, Tina Turner, Dionne Warwick, all who were out and Big in the 60s, only Aretha could play the piano as well as she could sing and write some of her songs..when you can play and write your own music and Sing..that is a feat few possess. Many great singers can not play any instruments let alone write their own material. Aretha did..props to her for that..tip my hat and still sound like Aretha.
a monument of music !
Makes me want to continue playing the piano that I started but never finished
Same thought ran through my head I quit after playing when the saints go marching in
I love this woman!!!!
As a young person, People, and my age mates too, keep asking me why I love Soul, I tell them,, "Listen to Miss Aretha Franklin, The Queen of Soul!"
Cleo, We want to hear Aretha, no matter how she sounds. That is all you need to know at this site. We want to hear Aretha (and sadly, not you).
Ms. Aretha opened up with the mention that she recorded this song, Never Grow Old, at 13. It was recorded by my father, Joe Von Battle, in Detroit on his record label JVB.
He had a life-long relationship with her father, the Rev. C.L. Franklin, and recorded every one of his over 100 sermons and songs put on wax.

You are indeed blessed to have been around such greatness...a privilege available to only a few! Did you follow in your father's footsteps?
Thank you
I thought she that she wanted to record this song she heard someone else sing
@@lindayates7824 that is what I heard her say.
" Never Grow Old "
Sing it Queen Mother Aretha Franklin !
I appreciate her equal gifts of singing as well as playing piano. I, like Ms. Franklin prefer a sustain pedal when playing piano. Without it, one is limited to ad-lib
It definitely makes everything easier when playing, especially the older gospel song because they used a lot of sustaining back then
Rip Qeen
Okay...Thanks for clarifying...I didn't understand that statement.
Yes I heard of a land. Praise God I do remember
Mothers luv always appreciated :-)! Be bless
Be bless :-)!
Love it
❤❤❤ It's something the Piano and her Beautiful Voice ❤❤❤
Well, she wasn't a perfect person but a beautiful soul in the sight of God. REST ON NOW QUEEN. RIP💝
Aretha is an annointed woman of God!
i love her
The Gospelfest was great this year, and Aretha put on an excellent performance. However, this was not her opening song. Her first song was WE NEED POWER. This performance of NEVER GROW OLD came after a brief break during which her youngest son rapped.
God bless!! The queen 😔 we miss u!!!
Simply the best :-)
JUST LOVE TO SEE WHEN THE QUEEN SITS DOWN AT THE PIANO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SANGGGGGG Aretha!
Preach it!
Love Aretha beating up those keys.
I love you mama

Ms.Min.S. - she passed today
I freaking love Aretha, and i care a shitt if you think "this was awful"
Aretha's scats were on point, especially when she sung "Until You Come Back to Me"...there was nothing "OK" about that performance...even Mariah can't even do what Aretha can live and Aretha is 30 years her senior.
