    I can tear up when I hear the first words she sings in this video. You said "I wonder what it was like for her to sing during the civil rights movement." As a white man, I can only guess, but I would say that you are HEARING the civil rights movement in her voice just now. All that she has seen and been through. Those 73 years of living in the skin she was given in a place where she was marginalized and relegated. The voice and music that argues that "I will not be marginalized and relegated" with such power and knowing. We wonder where that sort of magic comes from. Certainly, much of it is God given talent. Bit it's what you do with that and how your life informs your performances that makes for that sound that we all hear and marvel at. At 73, not only did she still have it, I think she was better than ever. A richness and assuredness that only come with experience. On those first few notes, that voice barrels through like a freight train, carrying all that she is and all that she has to say. Great review!

    Outstanding performance by the Queen. Keep in mind, at this time, she was battling cancer. She was amazing. R.I.P. ❤️🇨🇦

    You should do Heart - Stairway to heaven at the Kennedy honours. I think its on par with this.

    Sorry, but this is the kind of performance you don't talk over. Aretha is a legend.

    I think the gentleman sitting behind Carole was one of President Obama's Secret Service agents. Aretha, of course, was the queen. Have you ever reacted to Pentatonix? They are an astonishingly good a capella group. Their cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah has been viewed well over half a billion - yes, with a B - times. Their full catalog of videos is closing in on 6 billion views.

    Keep in mind, the LATE/GREAT/LEGENDARY Aretha Franklin, was also battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer at that time. Only to pass away from the disease three years later. Carole King's facial expressions and hand gestures were priceless.

    You all should react to the 1998 Diva's Live performance of Aretha singing Natural Woman live with Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Carole King, Mariah Carey, and Gloria Estefan.

    This live performance by Aretha, Hearts live Kennedy Center performance of "Stairway To Heaven" and Disturbed performing "The Sound Of Silence" live on Conan O'Brian are three of my favorite performances of all time.

    I remember hearing Aretha sing when was on the Columbia records label. I think the song was"Take a look" (It's worth listening to) She was also singing and performing Jazz in nightclub settings. Signing with Atlantic records really new doors for her artistry. I was in my teens at the time.

    You all did a beautiful beautiful job! It's appreciated the way you all We're just honest and true about what you heard and felt. So many reviewers try to too act like they find something that she did wrong or that's not as good as somebody current. Ridiculous! The lady is not looking for respect. Doesn't necessarily stand on she deserves respect. She has RESPECT!! World Wide!! Thanks!!

    Only one voice in the story can shock me as much in grandeur, as pressure, reach and strength as Aretha...the legendary Patti LaBelle! Both are unbelievable, but Patti is illogical!

    • @markdrinkwater1508
      @markdrinkwater1508 2 года назад +2

      Patti's voice is big, but sharp and notoriously pitchy when she tries for too much, Patti's voice lacks beauty, it is quite an ugly sound and it's absurd to compare it to Aretha's pitch-perfect celestially toned sound which was a thing of beauty, the most beautiful sound ever to come out of a human throat.

    This kind of singing comes from the Soul. From the pain of the Descendants of Black American Slaves. Something you just can't teach.

    You're wrong in your comment that "she had nothing to prove"... Not long before this performance Beyoncé controversially called Tina Turner "the Queen of Soul" (controversial because Tina is known as the Queen of Rock and everyone knows Aretha is the Queen of Soul). Aretha was asked about this at the time and she clearly wasn't happy with it. THEN came this performance... and it was obvious to me (when I watched this performance at the time) that she was reminding everyone who the real Queen of Soul was. Because she was already sick and really didn't need to do this appearance.
    You can still see that she meant business from the moment she walks onto the stage. Her attitude screams "hold my purse, Beyoncé"...

    No. All art is not totally subjective. Like the great Muddy Waters (I think) used to say, "there ain't but two kinds of music; good music, and bad music".
