In retrospect it appeared that it was very difficult for her to get over to that Piano but when she did " All Hell Broke Out On Those Ivories " All Helluva Performer ; back then Music Was Real from the live instrumental music , to the meaningful and decent lyrics and song mastery! Feel So Blessed To Have Lived Growing Up and On With That Music. RIH Queen 😍
Like I always said, even on her worst day you could not out do the Queen. No not one! And frankly, if it ain’t Aretha Franklin, I don’t even much want to hear it. The Aretha FANATIC Ernesto
So good to see Ms. Franklin feeling better and looking breathtaking, and she can still sing like she did in the 60 ...70....80...90..2000 and bring down the house in 2017......SHE IS THE QUEEN OF SOUL... God Bless you Ms. Franklin ⭐
Before anyone says anything about Aretha ... She was fighting Cancer. Most cowards would have stayed at home and wrecked their health...or felt sorry for themselves...! Her last public performance was for Elton John last fall...God was with her and he gave her the ability to Fight and out live most Pancreatic Cancer victim's..From 2010 to August 16,2018 is a heck of a battle..Love and miss you Ms.Franklin...
You most pancreatic cancer patients don't live pass months to 1 year she was blessed to last as long as she did I miss her already but I been on RU-vid looking at her interviews and performances so she with us in spirit but I grew up loving her music and her classy style and her real she will check you quick I loved that about her
Rock steady Aretha on those Ivory Key's you a band all by ur'self!!! Queen soul soul Sista!!! crying for her & jamming so many emotions going through me! Lord have mercy on Aretha, you know what's best for her... She left out in style, strong sista going on & enjoying herself w/her fans again & again! That's loving us ya'll...
She grew up watching all types of Music Legends Including Charlie Parker, Coltran , Ray Charles and of course her church musicians ; then days ppl played by ear👂🎹
🎹❤️🎵My Lord just listen to the sounds coming out of that piano! The way she’s playing so gracefully!! I imagine that’s what Heaven sounds like!! [it sounds like] Like Aretha touching the clouds up in Heaven on a bright summer Day!! 🌞 ❤️🎵❤️🎵❤️🎵
Thanks for sharing this video!! Her performance was unbelievably fantastic! She was 75 then and this was probably one of her greatest performances ever, she blew it away with that Jazzy piano playing, wow!!!
Aretha was so gifted & professional tht even in her time of her illness she carried on as though she conquered wht she was dealing with in faith & her faith got her the victory! A Soldier gone home to be w/her God... will look for U in the Rapture...🌹💐🌹
About 18 months before she transitioned, the Queen was still at the top of her game on those keys🎼🎤🎵🎶....her determination and will, overshadowed her ill!!! TGBTG 🙌🙏💜 Rest easy Gracious Queen. 👏😘
One of the many things that makes Aretha Franklin an artist as opposed to just being a great singer is that if she hadn't ever sang a note she would have made a great amount of money JUST playing the piano. She never true attention in her own behalf as to just how good she was as a pianist.
I am so missing Lady soul. But watching her struggle to sing watching her sit to sing watching her have trouble walking and standing and sometimes her balance was off her passing just confirmed what a lot of us fans knew all along but didn't want to believe is that she was seriously ill. Old school saints will get a report from a doctor on this earth but believe Dr. Jesus says something else. I'm missing the number 1 Lady but also glad she's at rest now. God bless this sweet Angel.
I agree Olivia Hart. Im glad she ditched Your Love is Lifted Me Higher. She was wearing that out. Glad she has added this. Only if she would add Dr. Feelgood back. For her health and age. She still could do some songs instead of the old ones. She has enough hits to do so.
Just because of Aretha Franklin, I and so many thousands of others everywhere have been, entertained, encouraged, enlightened, even led to the Lord. I will stand with her most loyal fans, until my last breath....And if God wils it , one day I will hear her sing in heaven.
Aretha Franklin was a woman of class, dignity, style, and grace. Her art cannot be compared with no other person. She was able to go through the hardships of being black and a female and still be a lady, the queen, and didn't need to compete to be original in her performances or presentations !
Beautiful! Goodness gracious, she could play that piano and make it sing!! Ms. Aretha kept living until she had to leave us. The Queen still lives on...keep her legacy alive.
Aretha was 75 years old at this performance and could still out sing any of this young girls outthere who think they can blow I'll take Aretha over any of them any day
Wore me out on the keys this what feeling is on the piano young bucks take a lesson 🤔 I really hate the gospel today no soul no feeling everything sounds like soft rock
