Great Singer

Aretha is singing all the songs I love, the back ground singer in the middle with the curls is so pretty.

Thanks for posting!

Queen ReeRee in ‘71

Love it!! Thank you.

Love love love 💖💖💖💖

Amazing! Simply amazing to look back in time, thanks to Reelblack & Co. 🤎🖤❤️💛💚 Interesting to see how performance has changed over 5 decades. In those days, musicianship & vocalizing were centered, & some tasteful, if colorful costumes. Now you get very little actual musicianship-it’s all synthesized. The pyrotechnics, extreme lighting & crowds onstage provide the party atmosphere-so there’s no need for an after-party. No one has to be talented, really, just stagestruck. They’ve computed & shortcut out any real reason to see a live musical performance anymore. Aretha Franklin is still incomparable.

ALRITE NOW y'all betta S A N G!!!!!🤗

I love when Aretha and James Brown had their afros

Pure genius... Im so glad I've been able to witness it in this lifetime

Thanks a lot for posting this great concert! Lady Soul forever!!💗

The Queen of Soul❤❤❤ Amazing!!!

Excelente , 20 puntos , por todas razones que estoy pensandooooooo

เพลงนี้ผมเคยฟังมาได้ ร้อยกว่าปีฝ่านมาแล้วนะเนี่ย

Her top voice was often below par during these European tours, she'd have to sing in a lower key as her top was hoarse. She suffered a lot with throat issues like laryngitis and chain smoking didn't help. So even in her prime she was having voice problems. But when her sound was up and voice range was firing, she possessed the greatest sound ever to come from a human throat, but it wasn't exhibited during these performances. Her voice was far superior in terms of range and power a few years later in the mid 70s, ironically when her commercial success was diminishing. I think at this period she was tired, smoked too much and drank too much, and years of singing and the pressure of the civil rights movement, and the death of King, and her marriage problems, her voice was at a low point at this time.
