She also wrote “ Angel” and Aretha always gave her ,her Props, before she would sing it. Aretha also sung that beautifully too. They were both Hits. They were just a gifted family.

J-Hudson is a vocalist, Aretha is SO MUCH MORE, when Aretha's record is on the world becomes quiet and you are just completely dominated by her singing, like the ocean is in your ears. She always had her sisters and the backup singers sang like TIDAL WAVES, and her voice surfing on top of these waves, completely spontaneous like a dolphin (haha), playing with these notes and phrasings and it's a wonder! And personality-wise, she never spoke like Patti Labelle or typical black entertainers, she only said what's needed to be said and do it accordingly...that's ONE STRONG QUEEN!

AND WHAT DOES I KNOW ABOUT THESE THINGS ??? MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD !!! IT'S JUST THAT THE BIBLE SAYS TO GIVE HONOUR TO WHOM HONOUR IS DUE !!! ARETHA AND WHITNEY WERE BORN TO SING !!! ONE OF THE BADDEST ALBUMS IN ALL CREATION IS "AMAZING GRACE" BY ARETHA FRANKLIN (THANK GOD FOR MY FAMILIES MUSIC COLLECTION). AS REV. JAMES CLEVELAND SAID ON THE RECORDING OF "AMAZING GRACE": "ARETHA FRANKLIN CAN SING ANYTHING....., 3 BLIND MICE..... !!!" I SAID AMEN !!!

I say that all the time. Back then they did not have a working understanding of what cigarette smoke does to the voice and how he can set you up later four different types of cancers in various places in the body. A music voice professional was saying it takes about 15 to 20 years or so before cigarette smoke it begins to damage the voice to where you can hear it. Her voice got lower and lower over the years in her range became lower and widest of her voice began to constrict. Regardless of all of that Aretha kept the anointing on her voice till the end. That's why no matter what state she was in when she sang everybody else in the audience that had a pulse could feel it. It was absolutely unbelievable how much of the Spirit of God was on her voice. God bless the soul of the queen!

This is amazing . You don’t see and hear music like this, that much. These days. There are some artists that can really sing and do a great job. Some, 😳…. It’s just the studio machines. This is great… thanks for sharing it.

Sometimes I play this song over and over about 100 times in one night.It's just mind boggling to hear this masterpiece without it disassembling your soul. Let me pull myself back together. Aretha got me in tears.

Gone but will never be forgotten, rest on Franklin sisters. Aretha you left a legacy for generations to come, and for those of us who remain that have followed you down through the years we'll see you on the other side one day, if God say the same.

The way Aretha belted the notes and feeling to "Ain't No Way" I find it hard to believe she couldn't get the song. Who's idea was it to get Cissy? It took me a minute to pick it up, but the horns are phenomenal. Aretha is pure Detroit, Michigan.

In my own top five songs sung by Ms. Franklin. The backup singer, Cissy Houston, and I believe it's the group she sang with at that time, the Sweet Inspirations. They knocked this song to its knees. Thank you all. Especially you Carolyn.

That song is beautiful! I love the way Aretha sang it. I remember growing up in Philly and when she gets to the part near the end where she sings, "If you won't let me . ." the DJ, Jimmy Bishop, from WDAS, would say real smooth, Baaabay!! Even as a kid, I like that song.

The Queen may have had to quit school early in life to pursue her career, but I'll tell u what, she was INDEED a TRUE, NATURAL GENIUS, NOT JUST IN THE OBVIOUS PLACE, MUSIC, WHERE WE KNOW SHE TAUGHT HERSELF TO PLAY PIANO BY EAR, AS A SMALL CHILD. In addition to that, she was also a VERY WELL READ & CULTURED WOMAN. What I admire MOST is how EXTREMELY ELOQUENT & INTELLIGIBLY ARTICULATE SHE IS & I'M TALKING SO EXTREMELY WELL SPOKEN, that she'll make the average Joe-Schmo do a doubletake!!!!! Total & complete CLASS ACT she was, all the way to the day she was reunited w/both of her beloved parents & ALL of her beloved siblings & good friends who'd traversed to the other side b4 her, as so, so many had. WE LOVE YOU ETERNALLY RE-RE💯!!!

What happened to soul music? This song drives you to a place where if your broken you'll understand why. Music like this speaks talent and the pain of love between a man and woman. We shall never hear music like this. Rest in sleep....icons.

Can you imagine being there when the rehearsal of this song was being put together and recorded in black and white, look at the fun they're having even with the white guys that's involved to help this song become a classic hit, you see Arehtha and Carolyn rehearsing this hit Aretha husband right there as well, Then listen to the orchestra and the band as this Diamond song is put together and then you have the finish touches of the this song. Even listening to this song today it takes you wayyy back to what you was doing when it hit the radio waves let alone seeing her in concert at that time, All I can say is Man Man Man what a time and what a Classic. Much Respect to Carolyn and Aretha.

Perfection. And with all of their talent, intelligence & beauty, all women like this truly want is the love & protection of a man who wants to do right by them. In so many instances its the exact opposite. So glad that Aretha, Mary J Blige, Lauryn Hill & so many more of the national treasures were able to get away from their users & abusers.
