Hear what she said.."Whitney was one of the finest young singers to ever step in front of a microphone"

Elton John said Aretha was greatly unappreciated as a pianist and this is going from the piano man

People tend to forget just how masterful Ms. Franklin is on the keys. She is KILLING that piano. I love ya Ree!!!!! 👑❤️

Now they sing together in heavens choir.. rip Aretha

People forget that Aretha was a damn good pianist. That's why she could ad lib such crazy runs and always stay with the harmony and never lose the melody. Easier said than done. She was a complete musician.

Amazing. She uses the melody of “Greatest Love of All” on the piano to “I Will Always Love You.” So creative and spectacular sound.

This was not a good idea, watching this video before going to work. Man tears are rolling like Aretha was my favorite aunt. God Bless you Aretha, thank you for the beautiful music that will live on forever. Queen take your rest ❤️😢.

This woman can make any damn song her own. People think her voice (especially in her younger days) is her most greatest gift, but I also think it's her ability to rearrange music.

Rest in Peace to Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin. You are both my all time favorite singers. Teary eyed.

Even Aretha playing the piano is "soulful". She is the absolute epitome of SOUL.

You can always tell when a singer was born in the church

Wow…I never know Aretha paid tribute to Whitney…in this way. Beautiful. May those two those rare voices rest in peace.

My 17 years old grandson was killed in car crash by the police and I am still in mourning. I thought I would never be sad for another person since his untimely and heartbreaking death because I hardened my heart!! However, since Aretha died, I found my heart softened and I cried and I cried for Aretha Franklin!! If you see my grandson Aretha, please tell him that I miss him so much and i am still trying to get Justice for him!! May you an grandson Malik rest in divine peace!!!!!

This has just broke my heart ...heaven has gained another angel 💔💔💔

Aretha could spin any song into newness. I had no clue what she was singing until the first few lyrics! God, this is beautiful! 😢

A rare performance...We have been truly blessed to live in an era of Whitney and Aretha. Their music will linger on forever...

Another rare diamond gone too soon. R.I.P two beautiful angels

I was in the audience at Radio City Music Hall that night. One of the great musical moments of all time. Aretha is so genuine and so passionate and her backup singers made the experience more authentic and wonderful. Pure magic. We are so lucky to have Aretha in our lives.

Voice like no other, but when she gets on them keys, my GOD! Pure genius. We lost a GIANT! RIP.

Anyone else feel their souls being saved on every note of this?
