Aretha Franklin My Cup Runneth Over 

Not ever.....not on her level.

Amazing Woman ❤❤

We agree✔️💟✝️🕎

That was a great analysis and u r exactly right she knew all the intricacies of the art of how to navigate the chords and what chord would b related more to the chord that she's moving from unto the next chord moving forward to while still not disturbing the melody. Aretha most definitely knew formulas that would assist her n her playing skills. While her vocals unfortunately didn't stand the test of time as well as her piano playing did. From yrs of smoking. Although aretha had stopped smoking n 1992 26yrs b4 her death. Unfortunately her yrs of smoking since her early teen yrs had took habit on her beautiful voice along inconjuction with medications she was on after being diagnosed with pancretic cancer. As u.can.hear whenever aretha goes up n notes.with.her voice. Her voice thins out and resigns n2 a falsetto. unlike n her hey day when she could go up there n her full nature voice. Listen to bridge over trouble water and u will hear what i mean how when her range could go higher and she still b singing n her nature. Or go listen to her sing ain't no way from back n the days and how she go up n full nature range 2the bridge of that song. N her later yrs her vocals couldn't nolonger accomodate that song n.the same.matter It had done b4 1992. Aretha had to resign to her falsetto cause she could nolonger sing that high n her natural range. Patti Labelle is having the same vocal issue now as well. Them vocal folds starts to deteriorate as one get older. It's a normal progression. But I love myself some aretha. It will always b aretha 4me. I digress.

Smokey Robinson said she was playing the piano this well at age 6. Aretha remains one of my favorite pianists.

You know this right? U here and over there where she is too huh?

I saw the Musicians with tears in their eyes.

Phenomenal Vocals and Sounds!

Nashanta Stanley amen

First 10 seconds of "Until You Come Baby to Me," is 110% her piano playing. ❤🎹

She was self taught on the piano. Beautiful. R.I.P Queen

There was never a better Aretha than Aretha at the piano.

I always wanted Aretha to do a solo piano album. She was a master of the keys!

You would be surprised how many people don't love Aretha. But they are the ones with the problem. I am a fan of LadySoul and would get upset and sometimes angry with others who don't share my love for her music. With age I've learned to let people have their own opinions. Forever the Queen.

Thanks for sharing this touching experience and thank you for your service brotha. Aretha is divine eternally.

@ Martin G yes, yes, yes indeed...and that's what a real gentleman does...he respected & treated her like the beautiful classy lady she was...The Queen of Soul. This was no nice, she never disappointed.

My parents saw her in Vegas before she made it really big (mid to early 60s.) My mother became an instant fan, and so I grew up with Aretha my entire life. Weird for a little Polish kid from NE Mpls at the time. I am so happy for this...

I saw her in Durham NC. I was going thru a bad situation and called ticket Master to cancel my ticket, when I got into performing art center, I felt her soulful spirit. I left delivered and burden free. She was very nice and she talked to many of us.

Thanks, I was wondering who the band sounded like. Wynton Marsalis it is.

ABSOLUTELY!

Who wants another? I don’t understand.

R.I.P Aretha Franklin . The Very Best Female Vocalist ⭐️

Darrick Long:🎯

@@achosenvessel6563 THAT AIN'T NO LIE!!! And as I think about it, with all the heartaches and adversities that she faced, she was just a STRONG woman her entire life!

I know right.

Non ti potrò mai dimenticare THE WEEN SOUL 😢

It may have made the difference but...while she has passed now let's enjoy what she left the world this beautiful music

I disagree. This "kind of singing" give you a true sense of the feeling the words are suppose to convey.

@@sibun7153 not really...the cadence, inflections,...I've heard the song by Ed Ames and the message was clearly understood...here I swoon over her skill and sound. The song itself is solemn and tender...her singing isn't.

@@angru_arches Perhaps you just like Ed more because I feel every word. She conveys the pure emotions of a song like no other. When she sings, "I study the small things you do constantly," she sings it as if remembering a real moment. She is the most emotive singer ever.

@@sibun7153 "I study the small things you do constantly"...imagine those words being spoken to someone...you would say that softly, so tenderly...not with as much energy as she did. This is a very tender message song, I don't 'just' like Ed more, no. I think Ed portrays the emotion of the song a little more spot on. Aretha is even an expression....she Aretha'd that song...

@@angru_arches She is not speaking them to someone. She is telling a story! Listen, not everyone is like you! People get to express themselves. It is find that you do not like the way she sings, but stop trying to pretend it is anything other than that.
