Aretha. Just one of a kind. At this stage, her voice could go anywhere. Carolyn, her sister, in the middle of the background singers, wrote two of Aretha's best: "Angel" and "Ain't No Way."

@ralphcones9355 5 лет назад

The singer in the middle is Aretha Franklin's baby sister Carolyn Franklin who wrote some of her hits like ain't no way for example.

@christhomas5761 2 года назад

Head voice ? Isn`t that the same as falsetto ?

@mariahyohannes 2 года назад

@@christhomas5761 No. falsetto (false voice) is a thinner and breathy sound, your throat is closed and your larynx is up, where the head voice is more rich in sound and your throat is opened and the larynx is lower. The head voice is more richer and more darker in tone and has a natural vibrato, falsetto doesn't. Using your head voice is healthier in the long run. Aretha had flawless technique and sung healthy.

Crying is cathartic and provides some relief from pain, disappointment and heartbreak even if momentarily. Feel kind of sad that your mom told you to shut up in a moment you showed concern. I can understand her not sharing what exactly what she was going through because you were a child, but a more gentle approach would have been nice. Even animals, particularly dogs, sense emotional distress from the humans they love and will do acts of kindness like snuggle up next to you, etc. I’m just saying 💁🏽‍♀️💁🏽‍♀️💁🏽‍♀️

It's so absolutely mind boggling that this music legend NEVER appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show...gotta give Merv Griffin props....the camera and audio on this performance are first rate...if not for the title and the Griffin intro, i would have sworn it was a Sullivan show performance.

I just watched Scandal season 5 episode 2 and this song was playing in the background of the last scene and I just had to look up it on youtube. Aretha....your voice renders me speechless...thank you for being born!!!!
