      @Alejandro Duran silky smooth...I will say it's even with Aretha's version & the high note wow!! Yeah, I'm 74 yrs old, I was 20yrs old when this came out, so I do not hesitiate, it was worth the 54 years to hear it and feel it the way it was meant to be embraced through the whole of mind/body/soul. This song is magical ~ 🕊🌠

    I always considered that song a *semi-duet* with Aretha and Cissy Houston. Love the song and love this rendition. Well done!!

    They did it justice go head Cynthia and Phebe they need their flowers right now. Cissy Houston would be proud because she did backing vocals to the original! GOOSEBUMPS! Phebe Edward’s needs her flowers now! She did the hell out of the high note! 🎵

    Love the short hair on these beautiful women. Great cover. Over the years I have heard many women sing this song. No matter their age, first language, race, country of origin, religion or political belief all have one thing in common. Their true soul was revealed. Thank you Carolyn and Aretha Franklin. Much love and respect to both of you and Cynthia Erivo.

      Jennifer Hudson is miles ahead of her. Cynthia is great but JHud is the GOAT of live vocals. There’s a reason why Whitney chose her to do her songs at her tribute concert. So yeah, JHud tops Cynthia any day and twice on Sunday ….

      @@gtawebdesignseoexpert4536 I totally agree with you, but JHUD is not the one in this video, it’s about Cynthia Erivo. It’s Cynthia singing, not Jennifer Hudson 😉

    The way I cried while listening to this rendition of the song!! Other than Aretha Franklin and Cissy Houston, I have never been moved so much by the vocalists of this song!! The background singers were phenomenal! This took my breath away! Absolutely outstanding. Cynthia Erivo and Phoebe Edwards, job well done! 🙌🏾💖💜🙏🏾
