Just came for that note...you know the NOTE...the one that made Darlene Love forget she was singing background on TV and made her think she was in the church choir. Aretha raised the octave and the hairs on everybody's arms. THE QUEEN
Darlene gave an interview years ago and talked about this very performance and mentioned how Aretha moved her and the other singers as well as the band.
This performance always blows me away. It's just the power behind those upper belts...... Very few can do it and make it sound like a bell ringing. Perfection.....
Darlene Love is alive & well at 80yrs old and have the Nerve to still look so Good. She's beautiful. Here she in her Music Video in 2015 at 72yrs young performing _"Forbidden Nights"_ while *_driving a Convertible people._* ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X4915gjpFEo.html
@@latinguy67 I figured it was her. She was a regular on the show. It's unbelievable to see that much talent on the same show. And they all end up doing covers as well!
@@saintjay8058it is impossible to belt without mixing with no strain. Aretha mixed too, she sang with a balanced mix which is why she never sounded shouty or light, her belts were perfectly balanced.
I saw Darlene Love in an interview (years ago now) and she talked about this performance and how all of the musicians and other singers enjoyed and praised the young Aretha for her vocal skills and talent.
@@MrErnieFaison It was back in the eighties and I believe Darlene was on David Letterman talking about the most memorable parts of her (Darlene's) long illustrious and influential career.
My cousin was there when they recorded this on that day , but at this time we really didn't know too much about her because she hadn't really blown up yet, she was still in a small league at this time this was what was going to open the doors up for her to becoming the legend that she became, my cousin said that she sounded amazing during the recording live. I can only go by what I hear on this clip, but live... can you imagine?
@@cedrickharrell5291 Darlene Love. Shes in that group the Blossoms. Major girl group. Darlene is royalty in the business. Her sister is Edna Wright of the Honey Cones and COGICS(Andrae Crouch first group)
@@cedrickharrell5291 She has sung background for almost every artist in the business in the 60's and 70's. She used to come on the David Letterman Show every year and sing her Holiday Classic, "It's Christmas( Baby Please Come Home". Also, contrary to popular belief, Miss Darlene Love is the TRUE God-mother of the late Miss Whitney Houston.
The beautiful Darlene Love got the spirit. Jesus take me now because I've been to the mountain top of soul 🙏🎶🎼💙. I saw Aretha with the GREAT Temptations. That's the day the music died for me. The Great 👑 of soul sang 2 songs & we looked @ each other my best friend Frank his sister LOVELY CARMEN & my cousin Cindy. Were were 16 & 17. We had never heard of Aretha & We were the only white people there but when we left. WE HAD SO MUCH SOUL WE COULD NOT CONTROL. WITH ALL DUE RESPECT. Arnold Bourbon Amaral. P.S. Like my Dad 👴would say music has no boundaries. 💙💐🌍🌎🌏👱💇🙆👨
😱OMG‼️ ARETHA what an amazing voice! Darleen Love felt the spirit as Aretha let loose. Sometime you just have to let go and let God!! RIP THE QUEEN OF SOUL-Aretha Franklin!!!
Good GOD from Zion!!!! Beautiful, poised, classy, feminine, and that voice!!! The music was superb, the energy, and the it looked like a goid time!!! The Queen!!
I believe that's Billy Preston playing piano, and my favorite guitar player James Burton is playing guitar. Burton played the jangly guitar on all those Ricky Nelson singles.
*Thank goodness **_Betty Everett_** made this Song a #1 Hit in 1964.* It didnt' chart the year before with Merry Clayton. *It's been Recorded by dozens of artists and groups around the world since.* I love hearing it. Every Artist has their own rendition of this song and it's all good. Some way better than others. *_Love Aretha's and Cher's._*
Absolutely love Darlene Love's reaction while Aretha is getting into the meat of the song at the tail end. Thank you posting that as is one of the best versions of that song
To those IDIOTS, who deal with a video's aidio, and replace it with a 'clean' digital track, and post it - pushing its 'HQ' sound, THIS is FAR better. Yes, it might be mono, yes, it's not pristine, BUT; Jess REAL, and the energy you get, from the audience, and the awesome work provided by the Blossoms (who are NOT the backup singers I the record), is SO much better than listening to 'prefect' digital audio from a recordibg, which you've racked on. I know I'm not alone in both loving Ms Franklin's great performance (and that of the Blossoms, 'natch). THIS it's AWESOME
If my people had beginning to use their amazing gifts collectively from a long time ago instead of complaining all the time who can imagine how great we could've been as a race and people.
Does ANYONE REMEMBER that EPISODE of TINY TOON ADVENTURES when they had BABS (the female rabbit) sing RESPECT by ARETHA... they even had ARETHA on the COVER of the CASSETTE TAPE she listened to ❤
The way the back up singer reacted to the note Aretha hit...!The mic didn't have the technology to record the extent of a Aretha's voice. Unfortunate for us now
