This is a duplicate video... The original video is well over 5 years old and has more than 20 million views... I should know... I saw this video when it only had 5 million views about 5 years ago...The original could have more than ,30 million views by now... It would not surprise me....
2:20 Aretha breathless artfully doesn't enunciate through the word "one" in the lyric line 'no one but you' (She just silently whisper 'says' it). Notice her right eyebrow rise; something fleeting heartfelt imparted. And she holds the microphone two hands, in a prayerful reverence. So masterfully being caught in the moment Oh, what *glorious* artistry.
The moment I wake up Before I put on my makeup I say a little prayer for you While combing my hair, now, And wondering what dress to wear, now, I say a little prayer for you Forever, and ever, (You'll stay in my heart and I will love you) (Forever) Forever, and ever, (We never will part Oh, how I love you) (Together) Together, forever, (That's how it must be to live without you) Would only mean heartbreak for me, ooh I run for the bus, dear, While riding I think of us, dear, I say a little prayer for you At work I just take time And all through my coffee break-time, I say a little prayer for you Forever, and ever, (You'll stay in my heart and I will love you) (Forever) Forever, and ever, (We never will part Oh, how I love you) (Together) Together, forever, (That's how it must be To live without you) Would only mean heartbreak for me My darling, believe me For me there is no one but you Please love me too Answer my prayer Answer my prayer now babe, oh-oh Forever, and ever, ever (You'll stay in my heart and I will love you) (Forever) Forever, and ever, (We never will part Oh, how I love you) (Together) Together, forever, (That's how it must be to live without you) Would only mean heartbreak for me, nobody but me My darling, believe me For me there is no one but you Please love me too Answer my prayer Answer my prayer now babe Say you love me too Answer it right now babe Answer my prayer ❤
It is profound how many have sung the song before her (the great Dionne Warrick) and after her (Whitney and Natalie) but not one or two them COMBINED can match her simplicity. She sung the song from the point of view of love from the heart. Not trying to sound pretty, pitch perfect, not harmonizing. Singing from the perspective of love eternal.
Simply a stellar line up,Aretha is a monster soul singer,here at the best of her career.......Evelyn,Almeda and Wylene are....terrificly sexy,of a haunting beauty and fantastic singers,to be thrown to the ground....
Most stirring, unrestrained powerful live performance of this Bacharach/David masterpiece. Caroline, Erma and Althema are killing it on backgrounds, perfect recording.
Every version of her singing this song is IMMORTAL. There is no equal, no answer to this woman singing this song. Whitney, Anita, Mariah, Donna, Chaka, Barbara and Dionne combined cannot match her heart. And I love them all.
Everything about this is so good. Aretha is brilliant, gorgeous, and emotes pure soul, The Sweet Inspirations are incredible, the BAND is beyond belief! The song is so great thanks to Burt Bacharach. It’s a perfect storm of beauty
I had heard Ms Lattimore's work on several singles she did as a solo artist, however, her best work clearly on backgrounds with Aretha. Her style reminds me of late Myrna Smith of the Sweet Inspirations. One of those soulful sirens who never achieved major soul success, though you'd never know it watching her here and on Aretha's "Don't Play That Song" rendition.
I am in total agreement with you (Brother Creagh) ! The Greatest Singer Of All Time ! The Late But Always Will Be Great (The Great Aretha Franklin) !!!!!!!
Possibly, several Aretha Franklin websites have credited Sweet Inspirations with the backing vocals including Cissy. None of these 3 look like her so I’m guessing they are miming to the song or backup singers.
El increíble arreglo orquestal, a la altura de esta impresionante interprete, los coros puestos con tanto gusto... Todo absolutamente en vivo... Simplemente devastador....
I'll bet Dionne got tired of making classic records - and then having Aretha make them even MORE classic. There has never been anything more beautiful than Afro Aretha. That was a turning point in the culture. Also, does anyone know who those gorgeous and talented background singers are?
This music is very soothing. To anyone reading this, I wish you a peaceful rest and I hope that tomorrow brings you sunshine and smiles.😍
Better than 99% of what’s on the radio. Just pure human talent and glory.
One of the only female singers who can belt it out without sounding like she's screaming. Her talent is unmatched...imo
Good observation.
Really......billions of viewers would LOVE HER LIKE I DO!!!!!!!!!!!
and probably do!!!!
How come this does not have more than a million views? The best rendition ever!! Point blank. Those back ground singers are giving me goosebumps!
😘😘😘😘😘

Oh, what *glorious* artistry.
this is perfect, when you look up the word perfection in the dictionary the result is Aretha Franklin
Just incredible. No inner ear, no support track.
What a resource !
Is no one going to mention the breathtaking baseline in this song and the person playing the ever-loving crap out of it?
Jerry Jemmott czcams.com/video/cCce-v8B56E/video.html
So good
Shivers down my spine. The clarity and purity of that voice is unmatched, what a talent.
The best singer and voice in mainstream music. No one has surpassed her to this day.
This, without a doubt, is Aretha's best rendition .... this one is in her prime and she was feeling-it.
Actual singers can take a good lesson about how really singing by watching this video. 😄
I love the back up singers and their choreography...
So do I. Those are her sisters.
Me too!
Same.
Those are The Supremes
she's was such a star. joy in her voice and beauty in her eyes. difficult to watch this without shedding tear.
I love this version the most. She was so talented... And the backing singers are awesome, too!
I love this version the most.
czcams.com/video/7Ifw8JhDBvs/video.html
The Bass player,and the Strings really brought out the "Feeling" in this version... It's even better than the studio version...
@@chloeconniecarlton Absolutely correct!
Aretha's voice was amazing and she had such a great stage presence even with just little movement!!
Smiles, hi NJ 👋
Pure beauty, pure soul, pure emotion, pure rhythm. The quintessential American music ...as seen by a French !
Aretha sings with FULL AUTHORITY 😍
Every time I hear Aretha sing Im filled with so many feelings.Tears of joy, sadness, happiness, elation.I miss her so much
😍
Im watching this drinking my coffee saying a little prayer for the USA.
One of the greatest songs ever made in history
The queen at her best so effortlessly
Este el vídeo que más me gusta de ella interpretando ese canción.
Will never be another voice like this one! So naturally gifted. RIP queen of soul.
Burt Bacharac was no slouch writer too
The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair, now,
And wondering what dress to wear, now,
I say a little prayer for you
Forever, and ever,
(You'll stay in my heart and I will love you)
(Forever) Forever, and ever,
(We never will part Oh, how I love you)
(Together) Together, forever,
(That's how it must be to live without you)
Would only mean heartbreak for me, ooh
I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little prayer for you
Forever, and ever,
(You'll stay in my heart and I will love you)
(Forever) Forever, and ever,
(We never will part Oh, how I love you)
(Together) Together, forever,
(That's how it must be To live without you)
Would only mean heartbreak for me
My darling, believe me
For me there is no one but you
Please love me too
Answer my prayer
Answer my prayer now babe, oh-oh
Forever, and ever, ever
(You'll stay in my heart and I will love you)
(Forever) Forever, and ever,
(We never will part Oh, how I love you)
(Together) Together, forever,
(That's how it must be to live without you)
Would only mean heartbreak for me, nobody but me
My darling, believe me
For me there is no one but you
Please love me too
Answer my prayer
Answer my prayer now babe
Say you love me too
Answer it right now babe
Answer my prayer

Thanks Hal David. .lyricist

RIP THE GREAT BURT BACHARACK ..... WROTE SO MANY BEAUTIFUL SONGS FILLED WITH LOVE AND MEMORIES
This is just incredibly creative and gorgeous singing.. she’s so good it’s surreal, every note perfect but so wild and free
It is profound how many have sung the song before her (the great Dionne Warrick) and after her (Whitney and Natalie) but not one or two them COMBINED can match her simplicity. She sung the song from the point of view of love from the heart. Not trying to sound pretty, pitch perfect, not harmonizing. Singing from the perspective of love eternal.
Listen too Trijntje Oosterhuis and the Metropol Orchif you want to hear what Aretha was trying for.....
Words can’t express how great Aretha was. Both her’s and Dionne’s version are perfect!
Burt Bacharach himself thought this was the better version, and remember he worked with Dionne.
Some seriously good vocals. What a performance!
Ms Franklin ❤️simply the best n first woman in Rock n Roll Hall of Fame n her Respect voted #1 hit of all time. Love her. Miss her.❤❤❤
And Rolling Stones pick for best vocalist of all times!!!
Simply a stellar line up,Aretha is a monster soul singer,here at the best of her career.......Evelyn,Almeda and Wylene are....terrificly sexy,of a haunting beauty and fantastic singers,to be thrown to the ground....
RIP Burt Bacharach who wrote this masterpiece
Most stirring, unrestrained powerful live performance of this Bacharach/David masterpiece. Caroline, Erma and Althema are killing it on backgrounds, perfect recording.
Erma is not on here
@@IamJermeezyMathis I'm seeing Caroline and Althema on this performance. Can you distinguish the 3rd background singer for us?
@@bennyadler5882 Cissy Houston
Cissy not back there on this European tour performance. She was building her solo career at about this moment in time. P.S. Cissy is the greatest!
@@ITSCHINUWORLD that’s not her either
Every version of her singing this song is IMMORTAL. There is no equal, no answer to this woman singing this song. Whitney, Anita, Mariah, Donna, Chaka, Barbara and Dionne combined cannot match her heart. And I love them all.
Whitney always being mentioned….The Standard😹💜. Whitney already surpassed…
Aretha and Dionne kills this song!! They both make it their own!!
Smiles, hi Gwendolyn 👋
The undisputed Queen...

this gives me chills, she will always be the queen
Aretha was on point and her background singers is Killing it too🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯
Chaka and Aretha has the BEST sounding background singers.
@@perryhughes9429 And AL Green
Hey natual blood sisters
Everything about this is so good. Aretha is brilliant, gorgeous, and emotes pure soul, The Sweet Inspirations are incredible, the BAND is beyond belief! The song is so great thanks to Burt Bacharach. It’s a perfect storm of beauty
I listen to Aretha sing this song whenever I'm feeling down. Her voice along with my memories lift me right up.
You would be pressed to find a more heartfelt version, she looked and sounded her best here.
This is 1970 not 1974.
There is no one else like her. Thank you Lord for the gift better known as Aretha Franklin.
A QUEEN. FROM THE VERY BEGINNING TO THE END. A QUEEN.
Magical.. and super slic background singers BRAVO
the one and only, Aretha Franklin...
The real deal!Rip Queen Aretha Louise Franklin.Love you forever!See you on the other side.
Saudades de Aretha Franklin. Que grande cantora ela era . Que voz!
I love this version out of all of them here on CZcams 💗
The King, Queen and Prince all gone. We're losing our royalty!! 💔

Smiles, hi Benny 👋
Nobody laid it down like Aretha...
I am in total agreement with you (Brother Creagh) ! The Greatest Singer Of All Time ! The Late But Always Will Be Great (The Great Aretha Franklin) !!!!!!!
And Incredible Vocalists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The raw emotion !!! She kills this great song !!! Best cover by far ❤️
One in a kind , true prodigy ...

Groovy as hell. So damn good.
2/5/2022

Stunning! Brilliant!!

Aretha thank you for your real , unique and unbelievable voice in combination with your huge heart and your warm soul.
Them background voices!
She was so beautiful. Amazing RIP
Her voice stills on the top👏👏👏👏
Aretha was a Beast 💫💫✨💕
Smiles, hi elouise👋
This was when her voice was at its best.
1972-1974
Smiles, hi Sharon 👋
What a voice that take to the deep of my soul, blessed
No one will be topping that for a while )
Love the backing singers, wish I knew more about them.
One of them was Cissy Houston (Whitney's mom)
Possibly, several Aretha Franklin websites have credited Sweet Inspirations with the backing vocals including Cissy. None of these 3 look like her so I’m guessing they are miming to the song or backup singers.
@@benjamindavid6089 Cissy Houston is not in this video I believe one of the background singers is Aretha's cousin Brenda
@@Musicblue22 no Brenda is thick and lightskin , these are just random session singers from Atlantic Aretha hired for this appearance
The background singers are Aretha’s sisters Carolyn and Emma plus Cissy Houston
Aretha was so thin! And these women were all beautiful. Wonderful rendition of the great song!
El increíble arreglo orquestal, a la altura de esta impresionante interprete, los coros puestos con tanto gusto... Todo absolutamente en vivo... Simplemente devastador....
The queen of soul she is a lengend
I am going to view 1 million times!
Great live version!
Puedo escuchar infinitamente está canción en todas las versiones de Aretha que nunca me canso.... 💜 Amé y amo a está mujer
Now...let's talk about perfection...😊 Aretha 👏👏👏
Excellent ! 👍
Aretha is at the peak of her powers.
The greatest voice I’ve ever heard. ❤
I'll bet Dionne got tired of making classic records - and then having Aretha make them even MORE classic.
There has never been anything more beautiful than Afro Aretha. That was a turning point in the culture.
Also, does anyone know who those gorgeous and talented background singers are?
The one on the right side of the screen is her sister Carolyn. Carolyn also wrote Ant No Way.
Hit and miss I'll say, she couldn't steal walk on by and don't go breaking my heart. Love Dionne and Aretha
The lady on the left is Evelyn Green. The lady in the middle is Almeda Lattimore. The lady on the right is Wylene Ivy.
Que gran mujer!!!! Que impresionante voz!!! La oigo en 2022 con mi familia y nos encanta 😍😍😍😍😍😍🎼🎼🎼🎼
