Aretha Franklin “Amazing Grace” PRAISE BREAK (1972) 

When black church have church, we have church!! Free to embrace the spirit

Clara must’ve really enjoyed that type of carrying on! Love how she motions the two young ladies to cut loose in the aisle at 0:37 lol!

I'm not religious but when they started I jumped up started and singing and dancing ... My uncle and aunt said we never knew you could sing and dance like that

There is no argument. Hands down. Rolling Stone Magazine got it right when on the list of the greatest 200 singers of all time, Aretha was number one. At the end of her interview with the Queen, Terry Gross of NPR public radio said that Aretha Franklin was definitely the greatest singer of her time and possibly the greatest singer of all time. Long live the Queen.

This reminded me at my church fellowship Baptist Church in Chicago with the late Reverend Clay Evans back in the day

This live concert brought together people of various (races) and socioeconomic backgrounds. It was truly phenomenal as well as history making. Aretha was in her element; the church. Not just any church, but the black church where she honed her craft. But I must pay homage to those playing tambourines. This was filmed at a Baptist church. Baptist churches don't do tambourines much and when they do, its a completely different sound from COGIC. The Tambourine players were definitely COGIC. representing

Just praising God. Love it.

Good evening Everyone. As a believer in Christ Jesus, there is no faking when the HOLY SPIRIT comes upon you. With all that people have put me through, I can't help but to feel this❤

Wow, Aretha Franklin, Clara Ward and James Cleveland.

Thank you for sharing this! I watched the taping and i do not remember seeing this praise break. I was wondering how people reacted. I would've been right there with those two ladies. I can't get enough of Aretha's live gospel album!

Crazy to think the young lady dancing is my mother's age in 2023

the 70s brought the biggest changes in gospel music.

❤❤PRAISE HIM

That's how me and my lil brutha are we don't wait for nobody we run straight to the front and go inn I can see that on this video some folks were trying to compose themselves and Clara ward was there but I guess she said to herself that wasn't her speed lol yet those other 2 young ladies showed them how it was done especially the lady with the afro like Aretha Franklin giving me the wiz vibes moving her head and waving her hands like Diana Ross who played the Dorothy lol wish I could go back in time to experience it in person because by watching the whole video back in 2020 I felt the holy ghost frfr
