Losing mrs.Aretha Franklin is like losing a part of you she meant that much to black folks whom grew up in her era and what an era.....rip Mrs.Franklin
What amazed me so with Ms. Franklin is that she could mix gospel and blues together and it was needed and so appreciated she was singing to the grace of God at this time because the cancer had went into remission and she was just rejoicing and glory be to God!!!! I have always appreciated the fact that she she shared those uplifting testimonies with her fans! She is greatly miss
This is one of her best performances since 2007 RESPECT. I love when she stays out of that falsetto. Aretha still has an amazing chest voice. We'll never know why she sings in that falsetto so much.
gday luv Miss Aretha and James Brown kept me proud in the Lily white suburbs. with her headwraps and Afro with her civil rights activities and the Godfather with payback and say it loud missing them both so very much still RIP Queen and Godfather feets toes toenails is sang ReRe
I'll be be honest I haven't liked the way she has sang this song in the last 8 years but this is probably the best performance I heard her sing this in years.
Terrific. Thanks for posting. What happened at the end of this? I know she was starting another gospel piece but did she continue it? Just wondered because she was speaking to her conductor.
I was there. She led a "Holy Ghost Dance". It is a tradition of southern American evangelical services. A physical expression of worship to the living God. An outpouring of joy in and gratitude for His very existence. To one not filled with the holy spirit it may not be understood. To one who is it cannot be denied or ignored. By this point in her life she knew she was dying. She had gone back to her spiritual roots and worshipped at every performance. She always did this song as a reminder that all she had or had done came from Him. And a celebration that she would soon return to Him. :) With perfect love to you, my Brother.
