Aretha is the unchallenged Queen of soul. This video is from the movie Sister Act 2. That one has Lauren Hill in it. I hope you guys check it out. It's a really good sequel
Aretha is among my very favorite performers. Here is one for your female Fridays that includes Aretha Franklin and Annie Lennox of the Eurythmics performing together. It's called "Sisters Are Doing It for Themselves." ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-drGx7JkFSp4.html
Great message for sure and at the same time Aretha is giving a major master class on vocals .... Amazing this woman could sing any genre of music and although she is known around the world as the Queen of Soul , she never put herself in a box , she never put limits on her musical talents .... Thanks for the video reaction guys !!
This is from "Sister Act 2: Back In the Habit". Aretha does a killer version of the Elton John song "Border Song" as well as "Bridge Over Troubled Water" originally done by Simon and Garfunkel. I really think you would love "Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves" A duet by Aretha and Annie Lennox.
Jay & Amber, you'll love her "You Make Me Feel Like (A Natural Woman)" ; "Spanish Harlem" and "Until You Come Back To Me" !!!! "Until You Come Back To Me" written by Stevie Wonder.
Tangential: on July 20, 2019 (before the Scourge) I had the great good fortune to hear/see Mavis Staples, the headliner of the Zoo Bar Music Festival, a.k.a. the ZooFest, in Lincoln, Neb. She was 10 days past her 80th birthday, but you would never have guessed it. The woman is a force of nature. There is still power and glory in the Senior Service.
One of very best performances ever at Kennedy Center Honors: Aretha Franklin getting a special moment by doing Natural Woman for the songwriter Carole King. About 2015 or so, and people were so thrilled to see Aretha that night. Beyond special
Guys, these clips are from the second movie, "Sister Act 2". Someone suggested "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves", a duet by Aretha and Annie Lennox, and I agree. Also... Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston singing "It Isn't, It Wasn't".
Oh man, if y'all haven't seen Sister Act 2 yet, you should get in on it. It's just as good as the first one in my opinion. And the music in the film is fire! Aretha, you go girl, and rest in peace!
Original is by Clivillés and Cole with Deborah Cooper on Vocals (1991), Clivillés and Cole are also known as C&C Music Factory - best know for Gonna Make you Sweat and Things that go hmmm. these are all tracks you should check out
Queen of soul.No doubt about that.. I highly recommend you guys check out Aretha Franklin at the Kennedy Centre ,singing .A natural woman ,she's in a later stage of her life and makes a surprise guest appearance in dedication to Carol King..it's truly an incredible performance .
OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I didn't see that coming!!! Amber....I got emotional too!!! Tears filled my eyes as my hands was waving in the air!!! I almost did "the Holy Dance!" GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!! I hadn't heard that song in a while. The song played in dance club....and every time it was played....people danced like they were in a Black Gospel Church!!! Great Reaction!!!
That song definitely makes me cry. Seeing her and Lauryn singing together, like one generation counseling the next. I get chills just thinking about it. ❤
I got to see Aretha live at Memphis in May...I was bellied up to the front fence and about 8-10' from her while she sang. About 5min into her set she stopped and asked the people in the back, "Babies, can you hear us OK?"...she did her hits but threw in a gospel tune that I really liked. I used to go with a couple friends to a little AME church that had a choir that would blow away any gospel choir. On Sunday, in Clarksdale MS, they have the Sunflower River Blues and Gospel festival... after all the blues music all weekend, they have a gospel day at a local church.
Deborah Cooper (had always thought it was Martha Wash) also had a version.....Both had us on the dance floors losing our minds in the 90's. follow-up with some Janet Jackson "if " and "you want this" and Crystal Waters "100% pure love" We were being carried out by paramedics around 2am
@@chrisvanderhoof9990 I just knew that was Martha in that video - of well, alcohol ,dancing and watching video on the dance floor aren't grt combinations. best
I loved that song as well as Jimmy Lee , Another Night , Sisters are doing it for Themselves and didn`t Aretha sing her whole face off on `Jumpin Jack Flash` ? I think that was on the same album as Who`s Zoomin Who .
Still had a powerful voice here. She was only 18 when she recorded her first single in 1960. Suggestions: go back to the 60s and 70s and listen to The House That Jack Built, Do Right Woman-Do Right Man, Spanish Harlem, Rock Steady, Day Dreaming and Until You Come Back To Me. Enjoy!
The genre of music that you're hearing is called House Music. Its usually high-energy music tempo with syncopated beat and uplifting lyrics that will include flourishes of other genres, like Gospel (like this one has), R&B, Jazz, Salsa, Afro beat, Soul, Hip-hop and New Jack Soul. The dancing is as high-energy and acrobatic as the music. I remember what we did in the NYC clubs in the late 80s and 90s. WE DANCED UNTIL WE DROPPED!!! Frequently, my friends and I went to a diner to get breakfast at 4, 5, and 6am before going home! Once I remember leaving a club and I had been dancing so long and hard that when we cracked the door to leave, I felt like a vampire veing exposed to the sun! It was about 8 or 9am on a late spring day! Anyway, back to the music. The music frequently incorporates folk rhythms of Black people from the 19th century. Here are some examples to show you the commonality and the distinctive sub-genres: 1.

It's actually Sister Act 2 that this song is from. Sister Act 2 actually stars one of the best vocalists of her generation, Miss Lauryn Hill. This song is actually on a movie I hope you both check out sometime, it's called "Dance With Me". Stars Vanessa Williams and Chayanne, who is a Latino singer from Cuba. It's a cute movie about Latin Ballroom dancing. Vanessa Williams kills it in that movie. 😎👍
Hopefully, one day you will show Aretha singing Natural Woman on behalf of Carole King who was being inducted as a Kennedy Center honoree. One of the greatest live performances of all time. She was 73 and had cancer.
While I love Aretha, I prefer the original version by Clivillés & Cole featuring vocals by Deborah Cooper. Check that out, along with tunes from C+C Music Factory like Gonna Make You Sweat!
PS I still haven’t seen your reaction to Respect and can only assume it was blocked. May I advise you to listen to Aretha’s cover of Adele’s Rolling In The Deep!
Yes, as others have mentioned, this powerful Aretha rendition was featured in Sister Act 2, which you will definitely enjoy. There are so many great performances in that movie including by the incomparable Ms. Lauryn Hill.
she will always be the queen of soul aretha franklin was of the greatest to step on this with god given voice and talent she is miss she could give you pop funk blues jazz hip hop gospel.
And that my lovelies is how you pay the rent! Miss Franklin being awesome as usual, love this song, she has many fabulous duets with George Michael and Annie Lennox, never get tired of hearing her sing, what a legend, gone but never forgotten
Yes to SISTER ACT 2! Lauryn Hill is fire in that film - her voice is amazing- you definitely need to react to some of her music here! DOO WOP! (That Thing) 1998 is a great track to start with.
This song is ICONIC especially in the LGBTQ clubs … originally recorded vocals by Martha Wash and produced by C&C Music Factory in the 90’s. Martha Wash who also sang “Make You Sweat” and Black Box “Strike It Up” & “Everybody”… Aretha is a Icon and when this track came out with her vocals everyone in the dance scene went crazy….
Also Please don't forget to check out: Christina Aguilera - Ain't No Other Man - Candy Man (Both Great Horns !!)

They played the Tribal Remix at a club i used to frequent in Chattanooga in the mid 90s. People would go nuts. They would play it at least 4 times a night.
The late 80s and early 90s house music, with the Italian house was the ultimate to listen to but especially to dance in the disco, and this by the way was a fantastic cover of C+C Music Factory from New York
The Queen Of Soul, that was in Sister Act 2. was a great movie. I'm white and I love The Older Black Music. GOD BLESS EVERYONE. ARETHA FRANKLIN ONE OF MY FAVORITES.🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️
Hey guys - Kathy here - has been a minute - Love that you did this one - so sad when she passed. I haven't heard this one in a long time. It is awesome and thanks for the reaction.
ARETHA !!!! ............ SHE Aint called the QUEEN OF SOUL for Nothing !!!!!!................... Theres such a Wealth of Legendary Aretha Songs ! from the 60s Onwards............RIP to the G.O.A.T
