- In 2011, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame hosted a week-long Music Masters salute to Aretha Franklin. The week culminated in an all-star concert tribute to the Queen of Soul. The 1987 Hall of Fame Inductee wasn't scheduled to perform that night, but then the most amazing thing happened: she surprised everyone with a stirring version of "A Song for You" alongside fellow Inductees Dennis Edwards and Ronald Isley.
Aretha didn't care what Dennis's voice sound liked
She had a thing for him
Now they're together
RIP Aretha and Dennis
This is what you call legendary
You got that right girlfriend, the Queen that she was, that she she will always be graciously allowed Dennis, who`s voice had changed some but who was never any less than he was in his prime ( it was still there, we heard it and we remembered) to share the spotlight that they kept lit for so long. It's scary to what they must all , Aretha, Luther, Whitney, Marvin, Sam, Lou, Michael ....all of them sound like singing together in that place they journeyed to when they left here. Wasn't she a beautiful human being ?
So talented, so incredibly gifted. She will never be forgotten, she was one in a billion.
She is one of a kind, never an be duplicated.
Amen to that
These two people sung about the love they had fir each other. They apologized to each other for what ever. It was absolutely beautiful. They passed 6.5 mths apart. Rip. Two Legends.
When Alretha Franklin was formed. God broke the mold. None before the Queen of Soul music, certainly, none after.
Y'all crazy Aretha and Dennis making magic. She used to date him in the 70s briefly and wrote the song daydreaming about him. Ron is the icing on the cake. This is pure soul music at its best
What a voice. Beautiful. Miss Franklin is pure class. So glad we have the chance to listen to her.
Somewhere the great Leon Russell, who wrote and recorded this beautiful song, is telling Dennis to sit down and just enjoy the Aretha's poetry in singing.
Lol lol😂😂😂😂😂😂, and poor RON😭😭😭😭😭
@Bret Demorrett Thanks I'll check it out. Cheers!
Dennis best days were behind him. Let those that can, do
Some how I doubt that. I'm sure he knew the history of this reunion and the song (for them).
Wooow Aretha Franklin voice was so strong and powerful here
Dennis's gravely voice is the perfect accompaniment for Aretha's smooth, sharp voice.
Dennis and Aretha died 6 and one half mos apart God bless both of the 2 giants. DPitts❤️❤️❤️❤️🤙🏾DPitts
Did you know they had an affair many years ago?
Aretha left Dennis money in her Will. But he had already died before her. She said he was the “True Love Of Her Life.♥️🎤🎶🎼🎵🎹👠👠
Not Only Did This Give Me Tingly Head Feelings Immediately, But I was Delighted to see the Genuine Delightful reaction and smile of Ronal Isley as he was obviously throughly enjoying to musical back and forth between Aretha and Dennis….A Superstar enjoying and respecting the gifts of others musicians is R-E-S-P-E-C-T Personified as far as Respect among Musicians. Anyway, Thank You to Aretha Franklin (RIP), Dennis Edwards (RIP), Ronald Isley and everybody else for once again sharing with me and the rest of the world How It’s Done and No Matter Where You Are Now….Y’all Better Work❗️💐💌🤩😇🙌🙌🏽♥️✊🏾🤝✨⭐️🎤🎼🎫🎟🌍🌏🌎👏🏾👏👏🏽👏👏🏾👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏👏🏽👏🏾👏
Ex-lovers singing to each other. Outstanding performance!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 two legends gone the Queen of Soul and Dennis Rest in Peace Both of you 😇😇😇😇😇😇😍😍😍😍😍
Aretha loved herself dearly no matter her critics she slayed Aretha and that’s all that mattered...my idol always
Just let Aretha sing it by herself. Sing Queen!
I remember this performance. I just wish they would have had several seats as they say, and let Aretha sing the song by herself. There's a time for duet's and there's a time to let the queen do her thing.
I don't know how to feel.
Dennis don't know if he wants to expose he and Aretha's secrets or have Church. Areatha is trying to keep him in church but he ain't hearing her over his own noise,,,,,,,,,, smh
I think I'll have the seats for those two.
HAHA, True
LML,,,, Whelp,,,,,,,,,,,,,
faznout Dennis was singing out of his love he truly has for Aretha. They used to dated in the early days of their careers.
Sorry, but the duet is WONDERFUL TO ME!
A love song but for some reason it touched my soul Lord I felt you in this I know people won't believe but God shows up right where you are he's that kind of friend
Aretha is amazing!
Rest in peace Queen 👑! There will never be another.
She and Dennis were involved when young. She is honest in her heart and music. He inspired some of her earlier songs such as Daydreaming. She loved him.
Wow! I could feel the love between them. They forget Ron and the rest were there. So sweet...
R.I.P. Aretha, a job well done Queen
Listed to her live n 1999. Columbus Ohio. 5th row center. Queen of soul and all genres of music. I will NEVER 4 get. What a blessing. She was more than I could have ever imagined. The theater was small. No words but"God is Good 😇🥰
That power voice,love you Aretha forever 💞💞💞
What a golden voice Ms. Franklin❤️
One of my favorite songs by Aretha Franklin may you Rest in Peace . . . . .
A song to our lost youth
I wish there was video of Aretha singing this song alone. I know she would have CRUSHED it. Gosh I miss her
There is a version of her singing this song alone on U-Tube. Check it out.
Rest in Peace dear Queen! 👑
NO SURPRISE WHERE GOD GIVEN TALENT&CLASS ARE CONCERNERE
HER INTERVIEWS SHOULD NEVER TO BE MISSED
Dennis had most definitely had better days .... years ago I watched him lead "Just My Imagination" with The Temptations, in his key (no falsetto), he owned it !!!
Wow, I see Cissy to the left with Jerry Butler? Great footage! Love Ree!
All of their Voices changed as they got older. but she never lost her touch on piano ablib
RIP Dennis and Aretha and especially Donny.
Arerha told Dennis " don't worry about" lmao i guess she dont get strung up over love affairs for too long, Long live the Queen
Young artists out there take a look and learn how to be a real diva....
It takes a brave person to express themselves like that. DO😀😀
Dennis still killed it hoarse or not!
Bless him🙏
Aretha recorded a stunning version of this on her let me in your life lp in 1974
That was magical!!!
Aretha and whomever he is, COMPLIMENT one another! It's GREAT, WONDERFUL LISTENING TO!
Cissy Houston Whitney's Mum Jerry Butler behind them
Ron Isley next to Aretha
Dennis Edwards of the Temptations singing to her
they were engaged
Auntie Ree Ree sounds so amazing!
Dennis could have just sat in the crowd. His voice sound like the Cookie Monster. Let Aretha and Ron have it. ijs 🍪
LOL sholl do. I didn't think of that
K Vo. U RIGHT!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ron sounds absolute shit too he needs to sit in the naughty corner
😂😂😂😂 I needed this laugh
Not the Cookie Monster 😂😂🤣C is for Cookie🎶🍪🎵
Can you imagine how this would have sounded with her and only Donny Hathaway?
love you forever Aretha xxxxx
Ron like, dammit my feet hurt! Y’all can’t do this backstage??? Sang y’all!!!
😂😂😂 you said it. I didn’t want to be disrespectful but Aretha pushed through this like a Queen. I would’ve made it 30 seconds lol
Back in the day Aretha and Dennis were in love. She wrote a love song for him. Title...Day dreaming and thinking of you
RIP Aretha ❤️🍀🙏
Legends and the melody
LATE TONIGHT BUT CAN STILL LISTEN TO A FEW IT'S ARETHA FRANKLIN TONIGHT HOPE U NJOY TNK U CLAUDETTE 😊
Like Elvis, her voice never left her.
Rest In Power 🔥🔥🔥
Aretha had to get her love for Dennis out he put a whammy on her too the guy was truly something special now we must pray for Aretha as she fight her life threatening battle🙏DP the Lord is taking many names so get your house in order. DPitts🙏🙏🙏💖💖DP
Amen Amen
Glad to see she was a piano
Sing queen!!!!
When Aretha say we are alone tonight Dennis, her and Cissy Houston turn their heads toward the audience at the same time. Check them out.
I love this
Ms. Aretha and her friends...Ron is the only one left now.
Dennis was her vocal Q card with out him she would have lost her words...Ron was entertained and didn't know where to fit in. Hi level pros pulling it off. Great performance
@@loiswilson2643 Wow, what an unladylike like text smh
Your an absolute dickhead
No Aretha knew the words, she recorded this song. When Dennis was with the Temptations, in the 70’s he sung this song to Aretha. Then later on she recorded it. So yes she knew the words very well.
@@lindabrown2090 Sometimes you just forget,no big deal, they’re pros Dennis sang every word we’re she missed but she played the hell out the piano parts. It was a pleasure to watch Dennis conduct that piece, with strained voice and all, and also cue Ron in at parts…..Simply a masterpiece performance in my book
Aretha forgot the words on stage singing one of her million sellers records “Until You Come Back to Me” with the writer of the song, the great icon legend, Stevie Wonder. Needless to say the “ perfectionist” didn’t see to much humor in it. Lol
Reina. Convertía en magia todo lo que pasaba por sus cuerdas vocales.
Aretha sempre em nossos coracoes amo muito lindas musicas performece sem errar !!! Descanse sempre nos braços do Rei!!!💫☄
RIP Songbird, 16th August 2018
Great talent.
That's Cissy Houston (Whitney's mother) standing behind Aretha with the older gentleman. Throughout Aretha's long career, Cissy performed back-up vocals on various occasions, mainly in the early 1970's.
no one...i repeat NO ONE should try and sing with The Queen of Soul. Let her sing alone and kill it!!!
Sad I never seen her live 😢
Where was Will while they having this love fest? And Cissy just confused 🤷♀️
Cissy is always confused
Nice!!
Aretha was singing about those strokes Dennis could put on ones a__ 😀😀it was enough to make one shout😀😀DPitts. That grave is holding some precious cargo. DPitts 😄😄
It would been wonderful if The Queen Sing the song by herself.
growing up 10 blocks from the Apollo...5$ at any summertime/week-end mom would give to go to the Apollo, to see "Aretha" Chi-lites, James Gladys etc. -- Miss Franklin ALWAYS gave "CHURCH"
yes saw James at the Apollo twice
❤
Play Aretha and we all know you can sang!
Y'all do know Re and Dennis had a thang going on. Ijs
Yes they were engaged, In an interview he said he wished he had married her,
Sandra, People on here saying he should be quiet DONT EMM KNOW! Thank you for taking time to teach. If you ever let one get away, this trio will make you shout and cry!!!!!
Who is the dude with the raspy voice.. Lord.. give him a cough drop
You're in TIME-OUT til FUTHER notice ❗😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🎶🎶
He is Dennis Edwards her Ex-Lover.
that is dennis edwards from the temptations. how dare you
SHUT UP DENNIS JUST MESSED UP THE SONG!!!! DANG
😂
Dennis, let the Queen do her job.
Hearing that church in ya ReeRee!
Dennis and Aretha singing to each other. So funny.
Aretha Sings Donny! Oh HELL yes!!! :-D
No Aretha sings Leon Russell. He wrote the song.
Aminah Shabazz u)
I wonder if Dennis is one of the Dr Feelgood's
Nick Huffman - Yes he was !
I know Daydreaming was about him. He was so fine when he was younger and his voice was amazing....I would have been singing songs too🙂
+Laonna J but he never filled David Ruffins voice or chemistry
+Laonna J but he never filled David Ruffins voice or chemistry
Denise Mitchell He didnt have to, he was Dennis Edwards, and he had enough voice for them to to win their first Grammy with him on Cloud Nine, so that sounds like chemistry to me. I am a major Temptations fan and my post had nothing to do with David Ruffin we were talking about Aretha and Dennis. David Ruffin was one of the best singers of our time and always will be but is irrelevant to this post. Dennis Edwards has made his own place in history as one of the greats.
Dennis sounding like a smooth ass Tom Waits.
"Pretty" Purdie behind the kit.
He died, did you know that?
RIP 🎵🎵🎵
Its been said that Aretha.was deeply in love almost to no return for Dennis Edwards Mr Sugar Daddy DPitts
Come on dude let Aretha Franklin sing the song, your voice is gone.
Cara atravessou ...
Is that cissy Houston???? I think so
wish that guy wasn't chiming in....
Christopher Hutchings. Me too, he was too hoarse and messed the sing up even tho he is famous Dennis Edwards lead singer of The Temptations, and once Aretha's heart throb and Daydreaming was written with him in mind. RIP Dennis Edwards.
I guess that neither you nor Jody could be bothered to read and inform yourselves that BOTH Aretha and Dennis were being inducted into the Hall of Fame before you decided to criticize??
I felt a little bad for Ron at times. He was trying to get in where he could fit in
Aretha became a little emotional at the end.
Dennis mic needed some reverb and echo
Aretha dont care about showing back fat! she dressed her way!!!
You people just love to criticize everyone. Maybe because there's nothing about you that you have to offer. God blessed Aretha to bless us with her voice and talents up until the last moment of her life. I have nothing bad at all to say about Aretha she was the greatest talent ever. I pray I will see you in the Kingdom Aretha.
It's kind of hard to hide..
Aretha stopped caring about how she looked.
Laughing so hard. Ron could not get his words in.
right Areth a singing for Dennis
So did I before Aretha and Nancy Wilson and Ruth Pointer and another background singer of the Temptiations I am anxious to really know how Brenda Edwards fill into the equation she is said to be his wife when Dennis passed away We had similar personalties plus at the time of our relationship he was a church plus me too Also he did not have any abusive substance habits and I have never not ever smoked dranked nor use drugs I also was a spirtual singer and had my husband not come to Detroit then moved me away from Detroit I am sure we would have married Everything about us were. Electrifying but fate took a turn I have always regret but doing the Lord will and not my own is my marto I pray Dennis did not suffer at death he was one of the most loyal kind. loving. caring person one could ever meet. His upbringing and love that was started with his mother as the same love was given to me by my mother equally yoked is. I feel daily sadness for Dennis Edwards Also I feel and share such love for those whom had a chance to encounter. DPitts❤️❤️😁🙏🏿
I wish Aretha had married Dennis. Wouldn't that have been spectacular. Okay.
Aretha did right by dating a Fire Fighter fuck the BS dating in the industry will get you troubles and she did her time with it . Just was thinking he's from the Temptations group Aretha and Patti problems started their . I know my comment has nothing to do with the video a lil .
Patti was dating Otis William, they were engaged to marry, but Patti called it off because he wanted her to stop singing and become a Housewife. So they broke up. And the both of them are still singing, her and Otis.
The title states Aretha surprise. But it wasn't only her. Totally misleading title. I guess one will do anything for eating's.
Well DAMN "..!!! HE STOLE EVERY CHANCE RONALD ISLEY HAD TO SAY ANYTHING, DAMN ATTENTION HOG..😤🤬😡
All I can do is laugh . Too funny.
