What a good pianist she was too. The whole package. Beautiful woman.

Aretha Franklin voice is like a warm hug from your grandmother and it just tells you that everything is going to be alright.

No one is talking about how perfect the three backup singer ladies' harmonization is

This is 2024 and this song still mesmerizes me.aretha franklin did it superblym. What a performance. Very emotional

She's playing the hell out of that piano at the beginning🎹🎶🎵🎼

This is close to perfection. The backup singers are so spot on, and the drummer is so keyed in tight to what's going on.

Yasssss Ms Franklin... Oh it got personal at 4:04 (look around and ooooop) Yasssssss raw God given talent. What a magnificent voice... Rest well Auntie Aretha!!!

She owned the moment. A genius at work. I bet the Angels in Heaven were told by God to stop singing when she took her seat at the piano, so he could hear Aretha's rendition of Bridge Over Troubled Waters. What a priceless treat. Now she's doing her thing at the feet of God's Throne. Rest Peacefully Queen.

Her voice goes straight through me to my soul. All I can do is.......cry!

You can't tell me nothing, Aretha Franklin was from another planet. It's virtually impossible for a human to be that great.

Whenever my soul yearns for some good old sanging, I come back to this right here

her voice in this song rejuvenates my spirit when I'm down

Just thank the Lord for African Americans all the time for helping us worship the Lord all over the world! I'm from South Africa, and we grew up on gospel greats such as Aretha Franklin, Mahalia Jackson, Shirley Caesar etc. May the Lord bless you and keep you in Jesus Mighty Name! Keep praising and worshipping the Lord Jesus, and keep inspiring us to praise and worship Him even more, for He's worthy of our praise!!!

I was listening to this when hospice called to tell me that I didn't make it in time. My big brother was my bridge over all my troubled waters even at 56yo. RIP Guy T Clermont Sr.

Damn Aretha , you really Impacted several generations!!! This performance was before my mother was born in 1974 and the words and meaning still rang true in 1996 when I came to be and I’m now 25 this year and it only gets better with time , thank you for your sacrifice to make music for countless souls

A musical genius. This is audio heaven. She shared her gift with the world. RIP Queen Aretha

This woman and her voice, which I have loved for virtually my whole life, is and will always be one of our greatest national treasures. RIP Queen.

Some of her Best Performances was when she danced her fingers across those keys. #Black&Gifted

Only Aretha could put soul in this touching classic like that. Damn, she makes the hair on my body stand at attention. Continue R.I.P. Lady of soul 🙏. A fan from the beautiful, tranquil Islands of The Bahamas 🏝️🌅🏖️🇧🇸

She strolled in like it was nothing and sung her soul out Jesus. RIP queen of soul Aretha ❤

Nobody is better singer than Aretha!

Man can't beat them og's they can sing make albums but those live performances blows anyone out of that water simply amazing

That intro is crazy. I was always a fan of S n G version but when I heard her version as a child. She brought the church to the streets and all across the world with this song or her version. Blessed You!

Don't compare Aretha to NOBODY.

Heart and soul, Aretha giving her all, a true professional. Thank you Aretha, and God rest your soul.

I've just watched this performance on Apple TV's documentary '1971:The Year Music Changed Everything'. Thanks a lot!

I could listen to this as an instrumental ALLLLL DAY. Don't ever need words❣️❣️❣️ The words make this a PLUS!!!!! & yes, I'm crying like a big baby cause WHEW!

Every nano second is entertainment, the original treatment of this song leaves your heart glowing...R.I.P. Aretha you will be missed.

The message is timeless. Thank you Aretha

This is the definitive definition of what music should hope to achieve.

This is the "Queen of Soul" I grew up seeing and listening to sing. She was an amazing talent. I know she's gone from us now but oh how this video stirs the memories how what an awesome talent she was.

Aretha voice is something that exists outside of space and time and communicates directly with your spirit. I'm crying and smiling at the same time watching this performance. Thank God for Aretha Franklin.

I been singing since 1963 and am still singing gospel till I Dred Aretha Mahaila taught me well Berry From Savannah Ga

A absolutely beautiful song and tone, so soul stirring it simply leaves you speechless…….

Once in a lifetime talent....

that is the great single, most impassioned performance of a great song that I've heard..At her best. no-one 'cept Nina can touch her...

A bridge over troubled waters. . . The story of my life 😔

Thank you Queen; your songs are even more inspiring then before.

This song always choked me up. Queen of Soul locked in forever.

First time I have heard this very moving version. Perfect timing as usual. My Higher Power knows what I need. RIP Aretha

My mom used to play her records daily and I still love her til this day. Take your rest, you'll always be remembered as the queen of soul!!!!

What a legendary moment in time.Mrs.Aretha Franklin

A voice and performance beyond words. Took me so another place.

My lord. The beauty of this - that change in the chorus. My lord! Makes me believe there is true goodness in the hearts of women and men.

When your the greatest

my favourite song of all time that rocks my soul!

Brilliant ❤

R.I.P. Aretha Franklin! A legend has left us.

This was one of the best concert performances I've ever seen! I've always loved listening to the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin! R.I.P.

Well, the Queen made THAT her own. 👏👏👏

Incredible, why I'm I just seeing this in 2020? Glorious, can I get an Amen?

The singer is also an instrument....all working together to deliver a message... 🎶Still water run deep, yes it do! 🎶🕊Aretha, Thank You

How difficult is it to take a song that is so familiar in it's original form and basically turn it into your own? This version embodies everything I've come to know of her. It lives in a Gospel lane, with as much musicianship as anyone could ever muster. How great thou art Queen of Soul.

Pure TALENT!! so gifted from God!!! ❤❤

This is the version I grew up with..and even after discovering the original..This is My only go 2 when I think of this Song..at 55 still feel the same..😉

She was one of a kind, may she Rest in Peace.

What a lady, an extraordinary human being with God given talent.

One of the greatest pianists of all time. I would argue that her touch on the keys was at least as good, if not better, than her vocal ability. Both were so natural and intrinsic to her overall talent.

Wow what a voice amazing 💯👏RIP Queen

I love and respect all the great divas in the history of music, but Aretha Franklin is on a different level.

R.I.P. - a star sent down to our planet.

Well coordinated and delivered THANK you Aretha and Simon & Garfunkel. Makes you think of life

For me, it’s therapeutic… sometimes it makes me cry 🖤

Could cry when I see and hear so much feeling and energy. Respect Madame Aretha !

that piano is amazing ..soulful and natural and just bloody amazing... i wish i had some magic like that.

How the heart needs your voice in these days of plague and riots. We must and WILL do better. Thank you for your eternal beauty and message.

2 words, TRULY BLESSED 💖❤!!

She got me at the piano intro😭😭😭

I don't care what the other singers do or how much clothes they don't wear the Queen rules.

This songs help me grieve easier when my sister passed away 3 days ago my heart hurts and it is soo broken

The backing vocalists are so tight the queen knew how to choose people who made her shine so bright and clearly she wanted the audience to notice she had killer backing vocalists,what a queen she was,super talented even by today's standard

Can you imagine what Paul Simon thought the first time he heard this?

If you need a friend look around and woop 😂. Aretha’s voice was so beautiful!

The Daughter.She just heals me.I just connect with my late sister in Heaven.

I love this version song 😊

No other like Miss Aretha.

This song took me some where 😍😍😍

She truly was the GOAT

Aretha Franklin was born with such anointed voice and gift of playing music and when ever a person would hear her voice they would never forget the sound because it stood out different from others even her backup singers all have very good harmony and I'm sure she train there voices as well. I will always play and listen to her song as I grow older as of this year and time January 14, 2024 May GOD bless those who stands up on his word he will never let you fall down !🙏🙏

all singers I call you to knell down to this goddess of music.

They are harmonized well with beautiful voices

Unbelievable, so fantastic

Wow, What a True Talent and Beautiful Person she was! We were blessed to have her.
