This is when the food network was popping!

Aretha was such a classy lady

This was wholesome!!!!

👏

She was freaking hilarious!!! “Would you like to eat for me toooo” 😂😂😂 then the way she was focused on topping off the ham at the end lmao She was genuinely herself

Cannot stand barbara walters

I felt the spirit at the end she took it straight to church frfr

Best ever Aretha ❤

I think Barbara so excited she can't contain herself. She's gabbing on and on

🤣 ayoooo

a celebration of morbid obesity and unwellness.

Cook Ree!!!!

Beautiful. REST IN PEACE, QUEEN.❤

I'm gonna go look up that performance🙌🏿

한복 입으셨네... 어떻게 된거지????

R.I.P. Aretha Franklin!

When she had that curly hair it didn't fit on her, especially when she had gained a lot of weight, no offense absolutely. She looked better with short straight hair or a little longer. I don't have idea how this ham could taste like, I don't understand what it was made of.

LOVE her!! I loved how she wasnt playing with the toppings! Just a scoop of icing the peach cobbler should already be amazing! No need for caramel, whip cream, powdered sugar, etc.

Aretha could not finish answering the question until another was sprung on her. How uncomfortable

Well aretha franklin was 1 that was not to b played with. She didnt care what ur status as a celebrity was she would get u 2gether if u came 4her n the wrong way. Comma dot and period! Now aretha's weight has always fluctuated through the yrs. But she was never this huge as she is n this interview. But theres a reason 4it. Her doctors were also using steroids as a form of treatment 4her the pancreatic cancer that she was dealing with at that time unbeknownst to the world because aretha franklin was a very private person and she guarded that privacy with great diligence. What steroids do is make u awesomely hungry all the time. So u over eat.

times like this was much simpler

You can tell Emeril was thrown off - I remember when this aired. Aretha wasn’t supposed to be on the show that day - her people literally called and said she wanted to sit in on the show - LAST MINUTE for her birthday! Emeril and team made it happen for the Queen.

I didnt know Aretha was that short.

Looks like Fonzi Thornton on backing vocals.

My goodness! Aretha in her prime could not be TOUCHED!

I like how invested she was in making the food was just right

Awwn

This is still one of my favorite tracks!

Kelly is nauseating. I’m done with her forever

Now that's a gorgeous way to prepare a ham...northern Detroit style. Here in Texas, we will add a bit of bbq sauce.

Ascolto questa registrazione almeno 2 volte a settimana…!…

God Bless Aretha ❤️🎶

The way she cut that step and shouted WITH THE BOSTON POPS made me cry when this aired. She is was and will forever be THE SOUL of SOUL MUSIC and that she would go there whenever the Spirit hit it and turn any place into a Tabernacle just makes my heart vibrate with fire!

He betta stop makin Retha moan like det🤣he know she was a freak back then

What a great performance. Her tremendous voice sends chills up my spine.

It's sad some people always focus on people looks whoopie was younger ten years ago we do change we all change maybe not the same way when you live a life you change to age is to live to bad we won't no what ms Franklin would look like today she gone and will always always be miss by her loved ones and fans rip you are miss ❤❤❤❤. 8:16

In all the genius and glory of Aretha, I can't believe she traveled with this subpar band during the 60s, they couldn't match the Queen's presence!

Wowza ❤😂❤

She's the most genuine person to interview. She never says what she doesn't mean and it can be hilarious!

That Voice!!! have mercy!!!🥰

Who knew that anyone singing the word ‘glue’ could send shivers down your spine?

A true professional continues to learn and challenge themselves; Aretha did this throughout her entire career.

No screaming, you understand every word and that voice , THE GOAT OF ALL TIMES

I had to come listen to this because a Taylor swift fan tried telling me Taylor swift is better than the Queen. No woman on this earth can touch this woman imo!

We miss you Ree Ree! The ham looks delicious. She had a funny dry sense of humor. She cooked a ham on Martha Stewart several years ago looked good also. Just never liked the way her banana pudding or that peanut butter and shrimp looked
