Aretha is the unchallenged Queen of soul. This video is from the movie Sister Act 2. That one has Lauren Hill in it. I hope you guys check it out. It's a really good sequel
Aretha is among my very favorite performers. Here is one for your female Fridays that includes Aretha Franklin and Annie Lennox of the Eurythmics performing together. It's called "Sisters Are Doing It for Themselves." ruclips.net/video/drGx7JkFSp4/видео.html
Jay & Amber, you'll love her "You Make Me Feel Like (A Natural Woman)" ; "Spanish Harlem" and "Until You Come Back To Me" !!!! "Until You Come Back To Me" written by Stevie Wonder.
That song definitely makes me cry. Seeing her and Lauryn singing together, like one generation counseling the next. I get chills just thinking about it. ❤
This is from "Sister Act 2: Back In the Habit". Aretha does a killer version of the Elton John song "Border Song" as well as "Bridge Over Troubled Water" originally done by Simon and Garfunkel. I really think you would love "Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves" A duet by Aretha and Annie Lennox.
Oh man, if y'all haven't seen Sister Act 2 yet, you should get in on it. It's just as good as the first one in my opinion. And the music in the film is fire! Aretha, you go girl, and rest in peace!
OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I didn't see that coming!!! Amber....I got emotional too!!! Tears filled my eyes as my hands was waving in the air!!! I almost did "the Holy Dance!" GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!! I hadn't heard that song in a while. The song played in dance club....and every time it was played....people danced like they were in a Black Gospel Church!!! Great Reaction!!!
Guys, these clips are from the second movie, "Sister Act 2". Someone suggested "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves", a duet by Aretha and Annie Lennox, and I agree. Also... Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston singing "It Isn't, It Wasn't".
I got to see Aretha live at Memphis in May...I was bellied up to the front fence and about 8-10' from her while she sang. About 5min into her set she stopped and asked the people in the back, "Babies, can you hear us OK?"...she did her hits but threw in a gospel tune that I really liked. I used to go with a couple friends to a little AME church that had a choir that would blow away any gospel choir. On Sunday, in Clarksdale MS, they have the Sunflower River Blues and Gospel festival... after all the blues music all weekend, they have a gospel day at a local church.
Deborah Cooper (had always thought it was Martha Wash) also had a version.....Both had us on the dance floors losing our minds in the 90's. follow-up with some Janet Jackson "if " and "you want this" and Crystal Waters "100% pure love" We were being carried out by paramedics around 2am
@@chrisvanderhoof9990 I just knew that was Martha in that video - of well, alcohol ,dancing and watching video on the dance floor aren't grt combinations. best
she will always be the queen of soul aretha franklin was of the greatest to step on this with god given voice and talent she is miss she could give you pop funk blues jazz hip hop gospel.
Great message for sure and at the same time Aretha is giving a major master class on vocals .... Amazing this woman could sing any genre of music and although she is known around the world as the Queen of Soul , she never put herself in a box , she never put limits on her musical talents .... Thanks for the video reaction guys !!
Queen of soul.No doubt about that.. I highly recommend you guys check out Aretha Franklin at the Kennedy Centre ,singing .A natural woman ,she's in a later stage of her life and makes a surprise guest appearance in dedication to Carol King..it's truly an incredible performance .
I loved that song as well as Jimmy Lee , Another Night , Sisters are doing it for Themselves and didn`t Aretha sing her whole face off on `Jumpin Jack Flash` ? I think that was on the same album as Who`s Zoomin Who .
And that my lovelies is how you pay the rent! Miss Franklin being awesome as usual, love this song, she has many fabulous duets with George Michael and Annie Lennox, never get tired of hearing her sing, what a legend, gone but never forgotten
Yes, as others have mentioned, this powerful Aretha rendition was featured in Sister Act 2, which you will definitely enjoy. There are so many great performances in that movie including by the incomparable Ms. Lauryn Hill.
Still had a powerful voice here. She was only 18 when she recorded her first single in 1960. Suggestions: go back to the 60s and 70s and listen to The House That Jack Built, Do Right Woman-Do Right Man, Spanish Harlem, Rock Steady, Day Dreaming and Until You Come Back To Me. Enjoy!
It's actually Sister Act 2 that this song is from. Sister Act 2 actually stars one of the best vocalists of her generation, Miss Lauryn Hill. This song is actually on a movie I hope you both check out sometime, it's called "Dance With Me". Stars Vanessa Williams and Chayanne, who is a Latino singer from Cuba. It's a cute movie about Latin Ballroom dancing. Vanessa Williams kills it in that movie. 😎👍
One of very best performances ever at Kennedy Center Honors: Aretha Franklin getting a special moment by doing Natural Woman for the songwriter Carole King. About 2015 or so, and people were so thrilled to see Aretha that night. Beyond special
Hopefully, one day you will show Aretha singing Natural Woman on behalf of Carole King who was being inducted as a Kennedy Center honoree. One of the greatest live performances of all time. She was 73 and had cancer.
While I love Aretha, I prefer the original version by Clivillés & Cole featuring vocals by Deborah Cooper. Check that out, along with tunes from C+C Music Factory like Gonna Make You Sweat!
PS I still haven’t seen your reaction to Respect and can only assume it was blocked. May I advise you to listen to Aretha’s cover of Adele’s Rolling In The Deep!
Original is by Clivillés and Cole with Deborah Cooper on Vocals (1991), Clivillés and Cole are also known as C&C Music Factory - best know for Gonna Make you Sweat and Things that go hmmm. these are all tracks you should check out
This song is ICONIC especially in the LGBTQ clubs … originally recorded vocals by Martha Wash and produced by C&C Music Factory in the 90’s. Martha Wash who also sang “Make You Sweat” and Black Box “Strike It Up” & “Everybody”… Aretha is a Icon and when this track came out with her vocals everyone in the dance scene went crazy….
Tangential: on July 20, 2019 (before the Scourge) I had the great good fortune to hear/see Mavis Staples, the headliner of the Zoo Bar Music Festival, a.k.a. the ZooFest, in Lincoln, Neb. She was 10 days past her 80th birthday, but you would never have guessed it. The woman is a force of nature. There is still power and glory in the Senior Service.
Yes to SISTER ACT 2! Lauryn Hill is fire in that film - her voice is amazing- you definitely need to react to some of her music here! DOO WOP! (That Thing) 1998 is a great track to start with.
The Queen Of Soul, that was in Sister Act 2. was a great movie. I'm white and I love The Older Black Music. GOD BLESS EVERYONE. ARETHA FRANKLIN ONE OF MY FAVORITES.🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️

The genre of music that you're hearing is called House Music. Its usually high-energy music tempo with syncopated beat and uplifting lyrics that will include flourishes of other genres, like Gospel (like this one has), R&B, Jazz, Salsa, Afro beat, Soul, Hip-hop and New Jack Soul. The dancing is as high-energy and acrobatic as the music. I remember what we did in the NYC clubs in the late 80s and 90s. WE DANCED UNTIL WE DROPPED!!! Frequently, my friends and I went to a diner to get breakfast at 4, 5, and 6am before going home! Once I remember leaving a club and I had been dancing so long and hard that when we cracked the door to leave, I felt like a vampire veing exposed to the sun! It was about 8 or 9am on a late spring day! Anyway, back to the music. The music frequently incorporates folk rhythms of Black people from the 19th century.

The late 80s and early 90s house music, with the Italian house was the ultimate to listen to but especially to dance in the disco, and this by the way was a fantastic cover of C+C Music Factory from New York
They played the Tribal Remix at a club i used to frequent in Chattanooga in the mid 90s. People would go nuts. They would play it at least 4 times a night.
Hey guys - Kathy here - has been a minute - Love that you did this one - so sad when she passed. I haven't heard this one in a long time. It is awesome and thanks for the reaction.
Lots of overlooked hits from Aretha from the 80s too, Get It Right (from Luther Vandross), Jimmy Lee, Who’s Zoomin Who? And more (beyond her Blues Brother hit)
Motown put out such great music I was a kid in the 60s and early 70s is when I first heard Aretha Franklin I was about 10 years old I had loved her voice and her music gave me a feeling inside just like Billie Holiday does with God bless the child that’s got her own I believe she did that 1940s maybe 1948 that would be amazing if you could play that song you’ll find many tracks on that CD that record absolutely touching and amazing whole soundtrack I have that CD still I purchased it so long ago and I listen to her music to this day…. you really can’t express how their music moves you inside so many of Arethas songs have done that for me and when she participated in the soundtrack for the movie Bobby when Robert F Kennedy got assassinated in 1968 I was six years old when I saw that on TV Aretha does this song with Mary J Blige and they made it’s the story in which Bobby Kennedy got assassinated the song in the movie your never gonna break my faith I can listen to that song over and over again came out maybe 10 years ago but it was a great homage to many things to god to faith and to the history that was the 1960s and all the assassinations that took place within a five year period from 1963 John F Kennedy 1964 Malcolm X 1968 Bobby Kennedy 1968 Martin Luther King the greatest men that our country ever had they spoke for the voice of the common man not for the rich and wealthy they tried to find unity and peace if I stop to think about it I cry I imagine what our country would be like today if they had lived there’ll never be another Aretha Franklin😢 she is an angel in heaven singing with God and his angels 🕊
Whenever God gave out voices He must have told Aretha,I’m gonna give you the very best one for generations to hear and enjoy,so He gave Aretha the ultimate voice and said you will be called the Queen of Soul because I gave you my Best 💥🔥☄️⚡️✨🌈👑👏👏❤️
More 90s dance please, it makes you both so happy! Where Love Lives by Alison Limerick, Loveland - Don't Me Me Wait and Luther/Janet - Best Things in Life are Free are all up your street.
Recent unblock not female Friday video!

@RobSquadReactions I guarantee Aretha at the Kennedy Center singing Natural Woman honoring Carole King will make your top 10 all time performances.
@@garrysinger9704 That is an amazing rendition.
I agree and when she stepped in for Luciano Pavarotti to sing "Nessun Dorma" she killed it.
Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves - her duet with Annie Lennox - is a must!
And it has to be the official video! Classic and awesome!
AMEN to THAT!!!
Excellent recommendation! Love that song!
I agree! I've suggested this hit more than once, hope they do it soon.
ABSOLUTELY, Aretha and Annie are brilliant together and it's a song your daughters should listen to, it's about empowerment of women!!!😊
George Michael duet...I knew you were waiting for me...pure heaven. Geez, if it's Aretha Franklin it's pure heaven. ❤
Definitely! Great song.
Now you HAVE to watch Sister Act 2 on your movie reaction channel!
Came here to say that. You will love it. You will absolutely love it!
Word. And that movie made me cry, too, especially near the end.
Yes!!
This song was on the Sister Act 2 soundtrack. You guys HAVE to watch it. It's better than the first one and I love the first one.
❤Aretha had a hits in every decade from the 60s to the 2010s. Not many performers can say that.
It's a cover of the 1991 song by C&C Music Factory. The original reached no. 15 in the UK chart. Aretha's version reached no. 5 in the UK.
Seriously? I never knew that, and I am a 70’s baby, 80’s child, and 90’s young adult
Aretha was so great at barely singing a line from verse to chorus the same way twice in a song! She surpassed all trends and decades in her lifetime..
"The Queen Of Soul" there will never be another one!!
Jay & Amber, you'll love her "You Make Me Feel Like (A Natural Woman)" ; "Spanish Harlem" and "Until You Come Back To Me" !!!!
"Until You Come Back To Me" written by Stevie Wonder.
Love the Queen of Soul. She was a giant. R.I.P. 💔🙏
If you want 90’s Aretha, check out “A Rose is Still a Rose” or “It Hurts Like Hell”. The Queen of Soul
That's her later stuff that wasn't good.
2 great minds I just posted the same thing before I saw yours lol
That song definitely makes me cry. Seeing her and Lauryn singing together, like one generation counseling the next. I get chills just thinking about it. ❤
A rose is still a rose is just one of my favorites
YES! "A Rose is Still a Rose" is an amazing song!
This is from "Sister Act 2: Back In the Habit".
Aretha does a killer version of the Elton John song "Border Song" as well as "Bridge Over Troubled Water" originally done by Simon and Garfunkel.

I believe this was from Sister Act 2. It was also toward the end of Dance With Me (great movie also).
The queen of soul! There will never be another
Exactly.... I still prefer the other version of this though 😂
Aretha’s “I Say a Little Prayer” is a genius song for her, also covered by Dionne Warwick, but Aretha slams it too!
Guys, these clips are from the second movie, "Sister Act 2".
Someone suggested "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves", a duet by Aretha and Annie Lennox, and I agree.
Also... Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston singing "It Isn't, It Wasn't".

It ain't nothing like experiencing a good gospel choir LIVE and IN PERSON. The acoustics penetrate you to your SOUL. ❤️
She is the QUEEN!!!!
What a fabulous fabulous song.... If you don't move to this, there's something wrong with you!!
Deborah Cooper (had always thought it was Martha Wash)
also had a version.....Both had us on the dance floors losing our minds in the 90's. follow-up with some Janet Jackson "if " and "you want this" and Crystal Waters "100% pure love" We were being carried out by paramedics around 2am
Martha Walsh never sang this song. The original singer was Deborah Cooper in 1991.
Martha Wash was great at this time. Robin S too
House music and techno was on 🔥 by that time! Derek May, Kraftwerk, Mr Fingers, Ten City .. oh man .
@@chrisvanderhoof9990 I just knew that was Martha in that video - of well, alcohol ,dancing and watching video on the dance floor aren't grt combinations. best

It's in "Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit."
she will always be the queen of soul aretha franklin was of the greatest to step on this with god given voice and talent she is miss she could give you pop funk blues jazz hip hop gospel.
Never heard this song before but Aretha never disappoints.
Bow down to the Queen of Soul! Love Ms. Aretha Franklin!
Great message for sure and at the same time Aretha is giving a major master class on vocals .... Amazing this woman could sing any genre of music and although she is known around the world as the Queen of Soul , she never put herself in a box , she never put limits on her musical talents ....

Queen of soul.No doubt about that.. I highly recommend you guys check out Aretha Franklin at the Kennedy Centre ,singing .A natural woman ,she's in a later stage of her life and makes a surprise guest appearance in dedication to Carol King..it's truly an incredible performance .
Check out - "Who's Zoomin Who"
Yes!! And Pink Cadillac also.
I loved that song as well as Jimmy Lee , Another Night , Sisters are doing it for Themselves and didn`t Aretha sing her whole face off on `Jumpin Jack Flash` ? I think that was on the same album as Who`s Zoomin Who .
And that my lovelies is how you pay the rent! Miss Franklin being awesome as usual, love this song, she has many fabulous duets with George Michael and Annie Lennox, never get tired of hearing her sing, what a legend, gone but never forgotten
Oh Yeah!!! The Queen of Soul!!!
This song got me through some tough days in the 1990’s and throughout life! A black national anthem! One of my favorite Ree Ree Franklin anthems ❤
I agree
When Aretha is singing you can’t help but to pay attention to her song, she is the voice of her generation. 😎🍺☮️
Had to watch this!what a powerful voice!!❤❤
Yes, as others have mentioned, this powerful Aretha rendition was featured in Sister Act 2, which you will definitely enjoy. There are so many great performances in that movie including by the incomparable Ms. Lauryn Hill.
Still had a powerful voice here. She was only 18 when she recorded her first single in 1960. Suggestions: go back to the 60s and 70s and listen to The House That Jack Built, Do Right Woman-Do Right Man, Spanish Harlem, Rock Steady, Day Dreaming and Until You Come Back To Me. Enjoy!
It’s from Sister Act 2!!!!!!!!!! It’s a must watch, as you enjoyed the first one so much!!!! :)
She was the Queen of every dang genre she chose to shine in. ✌️
Facts!!!
The Queen of Soul sanging her heart out inspiring everyone.
Great sing by "The Queen of Soul!" This was played at the end of "Sister Act" & on the movies sounds.
Another Aretha hit from the 90's you guys should try is a "Rose is still a Rose". Plz do that for female friday.
It's actually Sister Act 2 that this song is from. Sister Act 2 actually stars one of the best vocalists of her generation, Miss Lauryn Hill. This song is actually on a movie I hope you both check out sometime, it's called "Dance With Me". Stars Vanessa Williams and Chayanne, who is a Latino singer from Cuba. It's a cute movie about Latin Ballroom dancing. Vanessa Williams kills it in that movie. 😎👍
Amber, baby girl. The 90’s Aretha YOU need to listen to is “A rose is still a rose.” You’ll understand once you hear it.
She was and still is one the Greatest out a few to ever hold a microphone 🎤 😢
The scenes with Whoopi and the nuns are from Sister Act 2 and this song is in that movie.
I wasn't familiar with this Aretha track, but the Queen always delivers. Thank you for bring this track to my attention.
One of very best performances ever at Kennedy Center Honors: Aretha Franklin getting a special moment by doing Natural Woman for the songwriter Carole King. About 2015 or so, and people were so thrilled to see Aretha that night. Beyond special
I was confused because I had heard the C&C Music Factory version but not Aretha's version. I love both! Aretha's killing it!
Oh yes, the beautiful, phenomenal queen Aretha. Its clips from Sister Act 2 such fun film with amazing music. Thanx so much, Peace
Aretha Franklin Kennedy Center Honors singing Natural Woman It will be one of the best reactions you ever did. I promise.
Rolling Stone voted her the number one voice in Rock history. Hard to argue with their judgement.
Loved her though Steve Perry always #1 for me.
@@dalenacinovich9076and Karen Carpenter for me!
ROLLING STONE is GARBAGE . SHE ISNT ROCK SO LETS START WITH THAT
@@Spo-Dee-O-Deeshe was a soul singer, not pop
Other than THE FACT that She is not Rock,I Love her anyway.
Hopefully, one day you will show Aretha singing Natural Woman on behalf of Carole King who was being inducted as a Kennedy Center honoree. One of the greatest live performances of all time. She was 73 and had cancer.
Hopefully. I have also requested several times.
While I love Aretha, I prefer the original version by Clivillés & Cole featuring vocals by Deborah Cooper. Check that out, along with tunes from C+C Music Factory like Gonna Make You Sweat!
PS I still haven’t seen your reaction to Respect and can only assume it was blocked. May I advise you to listen to Aretha’s cover of Adele’s Rolling In The Deep!
I asked them to review this years ago, 100% the best version, Deborah absolutely kills this song.
Along with her cover of "R.E.S.P.E.C.T." the beautiful tune, "You Make Me Feel Like (A Natural Woman)", is up there with most memorable.
Total 90s house classic. C+C music factory - awesome
This is in Sister Act 2. You need to see it. Fire!
Original is by Clivillés and Cole with Deborah Cooper on Vocals (1991), Clivillés and Cole are also known as C&C Music Factory - best know for Gonna Make you Sweat and Things that go hmmm. these are all tracks you should check out
Aretha is a Queen.
One of her heirs is Gracie Lawrence. Every acoustic video with her is a piece of happiness.
SISTER ACT 2 JAY & AMBER!!!
You guys are awesome God bless you both lots of love
You HAVE to listen to Aretha's duet with Annie Lennox- 'Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves.' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aretha song you should react to:
No no no. I'm losing you.
I ain't never loved a man the way I love you.
Yes , Aretha`s live performance of `No No No, I`m losing you` one of the best vocal performances of all time .
Wow, I totally forgot about this song! Thanks for covering it. :)
The late 80s and early 90s house music, with the Italian house was the ultimate to listen to but especially to dance in the disco, and this by the way was a fantastic cover of C+C Music Factory from New York
I bet Aretha is singing in heaven! Everyone else is enjoying her.
For Female Friday. You must listen to Melissa Manchester. "Minight blue don't cry out loud, though the eyes of love,or just to many people"
Epic song from Aretha, and those vocals !! My god !
What a truly smart voice!!
They played the Tribal Remix at a club i used to frequent in Chattanooga in the mid 90s. People would go nuts. They would play it at least 4 times a night.
Freeway of Love!!
This song is from Sister Act 2 (also worth watching).
Aretha Franklin ♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏✝️
So lovin' some Aretha.
I believe this song was in the Sister Act 2 soundtrack.
Sister Act 2...........Need to watch
Sister act ii y,all should see it.
Great choice
That song hit #1 on billboard dance/disco chart and was part of the motion film soundtrack Sister Act 2 starting Whoopi Goldberg in 1993
Hey guys - Kathy here - has been a minute - Love that you did this one - so sad when she passed. I haven't heard this one in a long time. It is awesome and thanks for the reaction.
Lots of overlooked hits from Aretha from the 80s too, Get It Right (from Luther Vandross), Jimmy Lee, Who’s Zoomin Who? And more (beyond her Blues Brother hit)
It would be hard sitting still listening to this! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Motown put out such great music I was a kid in the 60s and early 70s is when I first heard Aretha Franklin I was about 10 years old I had loved her voice and her music gave me a feeling inside just like Billie Holiday does with God bless the child that’s got her own I believe she did that 1940s maybe 1948 that would be amazing if you could play that song you’ll find many tracks on that CD that record absolutely touching and amazing whole soundtrack I have that CD still I purchased it so long ago and I listen to her music to this day…. you really can’t express how their music moves you inside so many of Arethas songs have done that for me and when she participated in the soundtrack for the movie Bobby when Robert F Kennedy got assassinated in 1968 I was six years old when I saw that on TV Aretha does this song with Mary J Blige and they made it’s the story in which Bobby Kennedy got assassinated the song in the movie your never gonna break my faith I can listen to that song over and over again came out maybe 10 years ago but it was a great homage to many things to god to faith and to the history that was the 1960s and all the assassinations that took place within a five year period from 1963 John F Kennedy 1964 Malcolm X 1968 Bobby Kennedy 1968 Martin Luther King the greatest men that our country ever had they spoke for the voice of the common man not for the rich and wealthy they tried to find unity and peace if I stop to think about it I cry I imagine what our country would be like today if they had lived there’ll never be another Aretha Franklin😢 she is an angel in heaven singing with God and his angels 🕊
Whenever God gave out voices He must have told Aretha,I’m gonna give you the very best one for generations to hear and enjoy,so He gave Aretha the ultimate voice and said you will be called the Queen of Soul because I gave you my Best 💥🔥☄️⚡️✨🌈👑👏👏❤️
You guys do a lot to make us feel empowered too.
More 90s dance please, it makes you both so happy! Where Love Lives by Alison Limerick, Loveland - Don't Me Me Wait and Luther/Janet - Best Things in Life are Free are all up your street.
