    Herbie Hancock is playing back up to Aretha ... on a Leon Russell song.
    Make it make sense, Lord. This is all just so much awesome sauce.

    “I know your image of me is NOT what I hope to be” - genius lyrics change

    Aretha recorded this song 40+ years earlier on one of her early 1970's albums. I highly recommend it.

    She got better as she got older. Very few people have music truly ingrained in their soul as Aretha did.

    We forget how much of a musician Aretha was , not just a maestro of vocals but she could actually play the hell out of a piano too. Marvelous, talented woman. She will be missed, especially by my mom, who's favorite Aretha was to her. Both R.I.P.

    Just playing the intro to this song is a difficult thing to do and home girl nailed it. At her age she still can blow. That's why she's the true and original Queen Bee.

    This was an artist. Not an overproduced song, not 40 writers behind a "hit", not a false statement about feminism.
    Talent, only talent, voice and the power of the soul. That was Aretha.

    WOW! I just finished watching the rebroadcast of this clip, this very evening as part of the 10th anniversary of International Jazz Day, on PBS here in Vancouver, Canada. I'm missing Aretha now more than ever, but thankfully I can recharge my soul with the glorious music she gave the world!

    It’s incredible to me that Columbia or whichever record label it was didn’t know what to do with this amazing talent. Jerry Wexler and those “greasy cats” down in Muscle Shoals knew what to do.

    I know Aretha Franklin was the greatest and all of that but this performance (for me) it has Nina Simone written all over it.

    This is one time when even the legendary God of piano Herbie Hancock was basically a garbage pickup guy that night next to Aretha.
