ARETHA FRANKLIN Bridge Over Troubled Water Coney Island, August 4th 2011

[@nickmidwest6253]

I play piano....and the way she is able to multitask and basically do whatever she wants, WHILE slaying the keys is amazing! She is a proven testament of being touched by God himself. RIP QUEEN

[@shirleysingleton2169]

AMEN AMEN AMEN 🙏 🙏 AMEN AMEN AMEN 🙏 🙏

[@tusaninene2392]

I love the piano ❤

[@rosemaryswan406]

At this point the Doctor had given her the diagnosis, she decided to praise her way out. She was not ashamed of the gospel. She is my Greatest of All Time! Rip in peace Queen of Soul.

[@jannetteroads-stevens123]

Amazing...a healer

[@kevinharris3993]

Either way, Aretha won, for the bible says, "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord."

[@PhotographyInFlight4183]

​@@kevinharris3993 Amen.

[@tryphenaking1275]

Amen

[@ghester]

True!

[@IanFerence]

Damn, who could have guessed that this would have been among the concert highlights of my life? It was the second time I'd randomly gone to see Aretha because a roommate had tickets (the first time, this was free), and I had no clue she was terminally ill... I just remember the people, the happiness, the weird Coney Island vibe, and of course, the moment she hit stage. And gracious, was it beautiful! She put her all into this show, more even than the Apollo show in '06, and the amount of soul in this particular bit could have brightened the darkest heart in Kings County. Rest in Peace, dear lady.

[@jannetteroads-stevens123]

She knew who to praise to. A very Wise Woman. 😍😍😍😍😍

[@TheDreDog1979]

Aretha is my girl! I don't give a damn what nobody says. There will never be another like her in any lifetime. She will always and forever be "The Queen of Soul". That's my baby................Shit!!!!!! God I love this woman!

[@bjunior1988]

We feel the exact same way 💯

[@carolcarney1022]

The facial expressions on that one background singer when The Queen is singing... 😊😊😊

[@pentabkidz8702]

She was really feeling the song straight from Aretha's amazing fingers. Too bad Aretha's mike was not the best.

[@nopjack7278]

Beautiful...one of my many favs "Bridge Over Troubled Water". Whew! That piano was singing! Ms. Aretha ALWAYS included time to praise God during her concerts...God was her Solid Rock she stood on and she let the world know. You are missed dearly...RIP the one & only Queen of Soul, Ms. Aretha Franklin.

[@bjunior1988]

Even in her Golden Years she was still a master at what she did and not one other person alive at that time could remotely compare! There will only ever be one True Queen of Soul and that's Ms. Aretha Franklin!! I love and miss you dearly ❤️

[@Alou1]

Love the way Aretha played the piano.❤ RIP

[@tusaninene2392]

She is so good

[@jazzyvennie157]

Sing Aretha!!!!!🎤🎶🎵❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎤🎶🎵🎼🎤🎶🎵🎼🎤🎵🎵🎼!!!! She's my favorite singer!! I miss her!! She sang down to her soul!! You hear me!

[@susettesantiago5509]

The voice......the piano.......the perfection

[@charlottehenry2014]

Amazing talented Queen of Soul. I can feel her in my soul. Amen RIP Aretha with your amazing sound.

[@lebohangtsunke9035]

I am born in the year 2000 I can relate to this woman she was for generations

[@sinethembadywili8804]

Yes. The dynamic and most gracious Queen, Ms Aretha Franklin.

[@DaOrigTruthSeeker]

This is the woman the great Whitney Houston used to imitate as a little girl. Aretha established the standard for many young women and she will always be respected as music royalty.

[@rango102]

Well, said! I am a fan to both Ms. Houston and Ms. Franklin. Forever heartbroken over the loss of you Ms. Franklin and you Ms. Houston.

[@leroycreasey]

Thank you for your comment. Peace.

[@rango102]

Your welcome, Leroy.

[@kevinharris3993]

Her piano playing was under rated. She was not just a great singer and musician. She was a musical instrument straight from heaven. The Heavenly choir is rejoicing.

[@brendagray4958]

You're the only one i said her piano playing was underrated!!!!

[@jazzyvennie157]

She taught herself how to play!

[@josephbostick1966]

Those of us who loved and followed Queen Aretha knew her Piano Playing was awesome even Legends before her who all taught Queen to Play since age 4,But When God Stepped In On those fingers you knew that was Genius like Ray Charles ,Billy Preston ,James Cleveland ,those who never got to see or hear Queen Aretha in Concert ,then you really haven't lived . Because Aretha was decades ahead of all these Soul Sisters and Certainly The Whites were equally In Awe of her Mystic,Aretha use to kick her shoes off ,and shout and jump high in the air in heels like her Mentors Clara Ward ,Queen Mahalia Jackson ,long before Patti and Fantasia ,If you are Church Holy Ghost Filled It will come out ,like Keke Wyatt Karen Clark ,Fantasia,And a few others ,yes that Aretha Spirit lives on forever

[@jazzmanchgo]

@@jazzyvennie157The Rev. James Cleveland taught her a lot, too.

[@daynasix]

I was there, thank you so much for Blessing us out here in Brooklyn Mama, never will forget you. You didn't have to come here but you didI thank you. RIP my Queen.

[@daynasix]

Took us to church that night!!!!!!!! Amen my Queen

[@charlottehenry2014]

Aretha makes the piano sing. Glory to the highest God. Amen.

[@paulstratforddearsley2516]

Sanctified!

[@doxcb4717]

This rendition hits me deep in my soul . Jesus is our bridge over troubled waters . Thank you sis Aretha for sharing ur gifts with the world

[@josephbostick1966]

Queen was on fire that night ,she played and let the power of God shine through her spirit ,she gave sermonette and had the Entire Coney Island Shouting like a Revival and surely it felt good ,and she cut a few steps herself ,and she beat that piano down that night Bravo Queen

[@CharlieAnteby]

One of the finest moments in the history of this country, God bless Aretha, God bless the Franklin family, God bless the Morgan Choir, God bless Charlie Rangel, God bless America. Aretha knew how to work a crowd like no one else, she generously gave us everything she had in her, all of it. Rest in peace, Queen of Soul.

[@leroycreasey]

The queen of Soul Aretha Franklin is dead at 76 and in heaven. Thank you Aretha Franklin for all the best soul music for many years !!!! RIP Aretha Franklin!!

[@justinbrasfield6417]

Aretha makes me feel something deep in my body, like from the pit of my core down to my feet and back up to my head. Now, that's her gift. I think she did that to the whole room sometimes.

[@jannetteroads-stevens123]

Oh yeah...I have shivers going right through my whole body..wow

[@josephbostick1966]

Yes Lord I've got that Spiritual Uplift from Queen Aretha over 45 yrs and you just can't sit still ,unless your not human .she certainly made all the Mountains shake while few were left standing

[@anthonyneely4392]

wow she went all the way to church on this one...i love it!!!

[@aklnolaoso8338]

Yes Indeed

[@machswell]

Why have i not seen this before? I love it and she brought it and the house came down. RIP Queen

[@getting2themoney891]

My God, what a performance Aretha delivered. I definitely felt that.

[@AAwildeone]

I felt like I was listening to an oratorio

[@jannetteroads-stevens123]

😓😓😓😓😓😓😓 tears of joy, Her love, her skill💓💓💓💓

[@marymartha5363]

At some point, Aretha just forgets where she is and it becomes just her and The LAWD!!! Love you Re,Re!!!

[@thelmajohnson3895]

Holy.holy Hallelujah

[@stevewilliams8944]

Queen Aretha was the best at everyting she did - no one could play a paino that soulful. She was truly The Greatest Singer that ever lived. That choir was absolutely magnificent. 9:25

[@bradly2007]

[@johnbrite4707]

Yes n yes again to every comment .Diana Ross n Chaka we're always my girls .I liked Aretha ok but had never really took the time to look in close and see what a god thing n gift we had n aretha.u know they always say u don't know what u got til it's gone.im a 54 ur old white mail but I promise I can out play anybody in the hood when it comes to Kabuki games or as we call em call n response and libbing etc. As ND I know my music(soul and black oriented n influenced music but since the queen has passed I began looking at her last few final performances.ree was a decade or so before my time .Ross would've been except for all her huge 70 s n 80 s hits girl! Wtf was I thinking!? Ree has me spellbound this 80 yr old woman performing to sold out audiences while she's dying of cancer.men helping her into n off of the stage n u could see that she was I'll n the body n struggling.but I my god!. She loved the Lord n he loved her n let me tell u when she stood behind that mike n opened her god given voice she was as on point n funky n soulful I was fucking mesmerized.this was truly one of the most god given impressive heroes of our time if not the fuck all number one humanitarian christian and awesome woman and hero of our time past present or future hands down.theres something about a black woman that just outshines and goes beyond all human understanding when u know what they've always been up against( and always will be tilHe comes again) bcuz folks originally the Jews Israel Adam n eve and everyone in the Bible n in between were black people.and Jesus was black when Israel became a curse bcuz they had forsook their god as ND then crucified Jesus their redeemer the Bible tells us God scattered them n caused them to b a curse.the spirit of antichrist has been against them from day one.thencbegan the whitewashing if European n American history and the slow long process of trying to force them all out of Europe and take away or erase their identity by mass murder and or slavery via the trans atl as ntic slave trade.then the nephilim or serpent seed( the wire folk descended from the Anakin the tribe of huge white pagan men who were descended from unholy parentage if one human as ND one fallen angel thus the nephilim or serpent seed or gentile seed.thencbegan the times of the gentiles bcuz the lord said since my people rejected me I will elevate the gentiles and cause him to b grafted in and spread my word and my salvation to the entire world.however now that time ( of gentiles) is just over and now begins the end of Jacobs troubles.friends we are entering into some very serious end times.i encourage anyone to log on you tube to into all truth" .these teachings by a black west African woman can really put it all together for you and it will blow ur fucking mind ur hair back n split every fucking hair on ur head bcuz won't want to believe some of it but u won't b able to get it out ur head cuz when u hear Truth you recognize at such in your spirit
