I love seeing all the comments from all ages....to know the younger people appreciate and loved Aretha and her impact on music. I will never forget the first time I heard her...1968, a shy small town white girl, her first time away from home, in college, involved with the protest and civil rights. Someone played Natural Woman, Respect...I had never felt someone dig down and touch my soul as I did the first time I heard her and through the years . RIP dear Queen, you will always be The Queen of Soul.
@@cheeseisgood4u844 In my many years as a student in higher education one thing I learned is that you have a choice. You can choose to do an assignment and possibly learn something or you can just say no, the consequence to saying no is probably not so great, but certainly you have a choice. P.s. I learned the hard way saying no didn’t work out so well.
Picture this: Aretha living in her dad’s big house, Aretha and Smokey becomes lifelong friends and then around the corner, Diana Ross ....all within blocks of themselves. Detroit had to be a very exciting place ......the Queen of Soul, the Queen of Motown and one of the greatest poets/songwriters/producers, Smokey Robinson all transcends the Brewster Projects...a golden period in time and space.
Bochanable. No that wasn't true, Aretha lived in a beautiful home in city of Detroit. Her pastor dad had plenty of money. No projects for the Franklin's.
Frankie Franklin You misunderstood me. I have seen Rev.C.L. Franklin’s home. I simply said they lived blocks from each other. Diana grew up in the Brewster Projects. Aretha’s first home in the south was quite humble. But Aretha, Smokey and Diana lived blocks from each other. I never said Aretha lived in the Projects. The amount of talent that lived in Detroit at one time was simply staggering. Unfortunately, it’s taken a long, long time for Detroit ever recovered from the riots. I was last there in 2009, it was still rather shell shocked around the Fox Theater.
Oh here's another fun fact. Swingin' Time was originally called "Teen Town" where alot of Motown Artists made their TV Debut. Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Stevie Wonder, The Original Temptation Lineup and The Marvelettes.
I distinctly Summer’67’/‘68 “I Never Loved a Man” blasted through the neighborhood! James Brown had released “Im Black and I’m Proud”. From that moment on, JET magazine constantly had their pics on their Top 20 deemed Queen and King of Soul. But nothing matched “Since You’ve Been Gold”b/w “Ain’t No Way”, I played that consistently. Peddle forward, we were gleefully proud for Aretha’s #1 “I Knew You Were Waiting For Me” with the belated George Michael. Then she stole the “Divas Live” Show. I owned 90% of her albums on Columbia, Atlantic & Arista! This weekend “I’m gonna pay homage and listen to my favorites. The angels took her to meet with Luther, Marvin, Natalie, Teena, Michael..etc.! Heavens will be welcoming her and her Amazing Grace will astound!
I have always loved Aretha Franklin ever since I was a young boy. My mother used to do TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) a weight loss program and she had a tape that had Respect and Chain of Fools. I am 24 years old now and still listen to her still. Even she is gone she is still The Queen of Soul and Nobody can sing like her ever!! Good Memories
No one can be Aretha! The real Aretha when she sings she puts a spell on your sole. You can have many imitations play her butter can't touch her when it comes to her singing! Her life story is very interesting! For the record Jennifer H. Is not close to Aretha? You have to get someone that deep, deep down home Genius to pull it off to sing like her!
Well Aretha herself might disagree with you since she hand picked J HUD to play her in her upcoming movie. They were great friends and she passed the tourch.
This was one of the greatest singers of all time I grew up with her music would sing it every chance I got this is a lady that will be greatly missed she was a wonderful person who records i would collect my prayers go out to her family and that God will see you though this difficult time make God be with you all.
And I believe Miss Aretha she remained close with the family after dr. King assassination and she remains prominent figure in the Civil Rights Movement
SHE REALLY SUNG SOME HEART BREAKING SONG. THE MEN REALLY WAS NO GOOD IN HER LIFE. . LOOK LIKE SHE WAS IN LOVE WITH MEN MORE THAN THEY WERE WITH HER. LISTENING AT SOME OF HER SONGS> AINT NO WAY DON"T PLAY THAT SONG FOR ME, AND MANY MORE.
Of course she loved the men more! She was too dark, almost black, and not to pretty. Where did you go to school? It appears you like screaming. And using HORRIBLE "English," You make Aretha hide her plain-Jane face!
Don't forget The Isley Brothers whose "Shout" is a R & B Classic that has stood the test of time. As for Ted, he was in the same Boat that a lot of Men are in who have Famous Wives. He may have thought people looked at him as "Mr. Aretha Franklin" who was living off of his Wife's Gravy. The Husbands of Olivia Newton-John and Diana Ross were in that same boat.
Love the sound quality in this 3 part documentary! Just love it! OK, the sound goes to pots at 3:00, just after I typed this message. Go figure. But other than that, the voice quality in part 1 also this one, part 2 were very nice, barring a few sections.
She is was and still forever OUR Queen of SOUL HELLO FROM LONDON/FRANCE and Iam sure around the world 🤩😍🥰😘hand-pink-wavingShe still alive to me by her legacy/Music/voice the only Queen of Soul music ever in the World and still in 2023 & for many years to come💯💝💖✌✊BLMatters
as I watch the 2nd half of this documentary..and I see her tribute to King at his funeral, Im reminded of how there are TONS of singers like her in black churches all over this country. But Aretha was literrally the first to be given the oppurtunity to sign contracts with companies that allowed her to sing all kinds of music. And she wasn't just good...she exceeded expectations and limitations that were laid on black women, trying to break thru in the record business. I mean, if you think about it, if all the black women vocalists that you know of or hear in a black church somewhere, were given the oppurtunities that Aretha, Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle and Dionne Wariwck (all of whom come from the black church) got...they would take over the record business on every front. Why???..well, because they're all at the top of the totem pole when it comes to the best singers that America has to offer.
I have a problem with this word (secular), Aretha Franklin was not singing (secular songs). Aretha Franklin was singing Love Songs to someone she fell in love with, or someone she wanted to be with, there's no such thing as (secular songs), with Franklin, or any other gospel artists who want's to sing (Love Song) to the person she's in love with. Gospel music is also (Love songs) to our savior, they are not (secular songs), get over yourself quit this madness there's no such thing as secular or worldly songs they're just Songs, Dammit, Case Closed. PS. You people are so full of yourself, giving titles to things that you don't even understand, Quit The Madness..........
George Michael recorded the original version of Careless Whisper then he did an alternative version at Muscle Shoals Alabama. Andrew Ridgeley had some thick skin always being looked at as the man who wrote on George's coat tails.
Yeah, very sad for both of them. Her father was in a coma for 5 years. Talk about a strong guy. These preachers who were involved in the Civil Rights Movement wasn't well-liked by certain communities and as a result their lives were put at risk because of their fights for certain things.
Swingin Time was actually known as Teen Town and that's where alot of motown Acts did their early performances. Stevie Wonder The Marvelletes, The Miracles and Mary Wells.
Hi Aretha Franklin is a great lady and should nobody play her part of a roll any any kind of picture is no one can play her it's going to be real hard to pull that car up that person is going to play or got the look like her got to fit her old for her personality I got to be in a church that's was raised and singing in the church they get that voice together I even tried selling like her you have to challenge her her soul that come to you no one will sound like her I'm sorry no I'm not sorry that's how I feel I have great love for that lady
None of these r n fucking order I've watched three different number 2s n there all different but the same interview, same clothes, but comepeltlly different🤔
Wow Sang for MLK and Obama...such an iconic woman. Rest Easy Queen
Quelle merveilleux doc,merci!!!

Today 16th August the Queen of Soul has left us.
Farewell to one of the greatest voices of the twentieth century.
Thanks so much for sharing her documentary on You Tube :)
Aretha’s voice and music moved your SOUL! That’s why she will be known as the Queen of Soul forever.

Bochanable exactly how can he misinterpret what u said. He wasn’t reading your comment with understanding.
The Temptations, Four Tops, Martha & the Vandellas, Stevie Wonder etc, are also from Detroit!
No it wasn't a great place not like Heaven, y'all act like these people is y'all gods,I rather stayed by Mahalia Jackson
R.I.P Aretha Franklin (1942 - 2018). She will truly be missed! 😢😭
R.I.P. Aretha. She just passed away today.
Tell it, Aretha...she was as eloquent as anyone...
Oh here's another fun fact. Swingin' Time was originally called "Teen Town" where alot of Motown Artists made their TV Debut. Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Stevie Wonder, The Original Temptation Lineup and The Marvelettes.
You with all of us!!💖😔

I enjoy Aretha Franklin's Music.
"The right Rev. Ray Charles"... that's what the Queen of Soul, called Ray Charles at Fillmore West when she discovered him in the audience...
Aretha Franklin Is a LEGEND in her own Right. She stood her ground!! She went on with her life and kept on GOING!!! RIP HAPPY BIRTHDAY
That Hair...That Mahalia Wig...Was A Mood All By Its Self...You Heard!!!

I’m 24 & I still listen to this women today I can still relate to most of the things she sings about
She was the goddess of soul
I NEED THIS 0:00 PERFORMANCE
Muscle Shoals has so much History. Aretha Franklin, Elvis Presley, Etta James and even The Osmonds recorded there.
@5:02 look at this man strutting on the stage!!!!
That will make America go Holy SHIT because Aretha Franklin died on Madonna's birthday

Beyoncé can call herself a queen, but this video proves that’s she’s all hype
You don’t have to put down one singer to uplift another. Sigh.
