[@kennethdrake7686]

She really showed a different side in this performance looking like the queen she was and always will be!!! R.I.P the queen of soul!!!

[@Francis-mt8xu]

Too ugly to be Queen

[@lenorafrancis5204]

The world’s best singer ever.

[@rodneymiller682]

I remember watching this as a little boy. I thought I'd never see this performance again.

[@Aremuorin]

😶

[@djlgv]

Yes my queen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brilliant !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@antd8259]

She put some extra punch in Respect. In '78 she could undoubtedly out sing anyone, regardless of Disco!

[@quincycooper79]

Ain't that the truth Anthony my brother.

[@lutherwilliams8429]

u better say that Anthony!:)

[@christhomas5761]

She really could .. Aretha, the total singer !

[@Francis-mt8xu]

Her armpit is so black

[@ShirleyOverton-e9h]

Girl can sang ANYTHING!!!!!!!

[@majorboyce123]

Thanks for this amazing footage. People were not sure what she was giving with being carried in by several men and the Egyptian wardrobe. Everybody always wanted to tell her who she should be and how to dress and how to sing. Love Aretha for doing her when others chose not to.

[@maatspear]

She was dressed like the Egyptian goddess Ma'at.

[@danielsims5715]

I remember her singing this song ' but did not know this existed! She sang from the heart and soul, not holding back what she felt .Her naked emotional expressions drew countless fans to her. to her. She could make you feel the sorrows and pain of life, or take you to the heights of joy, love, rhythm and gospel feeling. With a combination of a God -Given multi octave voice and ability to sing several styles from gospel to jazz, pop and even opera sets her apart. Yes , she was the " Queen of Soul" but also much more.... incomparable, one of a kind, "Diva Suprene."!

[@stage7]

I have SOOOOOOOO LONGED to see THIS PARTICULAR performance Again! My memory serves me WELL. I remembered EVERY phrase, every nuance, every ring of reverb, even!!!!! (And her near stumble as the guys escorted her.....😉)....... EVERYTHING! And she RRRRRROOOCKED RESPECT! So did the BAND! THIS WAS FANTASTIC! BLESS YOU MUCH for posting THIS! 💖💖💖🔥

[@realartdrum]

[@danielconnelly9236]

Never thought I would see the day Aretha was dressed up as Cleopatra... Great performance though

[@sashineb.2114]

Around that time, the King Tut exhibits were being shown in various museums.

[@radioramzi]

THE QUEEN!!!!!!!! That cape was DOPE!!!!

[@swisschoklate736]

The set design is so so beautiful!!!!

[@HerDestiny]

Forever and Always .. "Queen Of Soul".

[@elizaash358]

Queen of soul does justice to this song so much!😍😎😇

[@j.c.maxena5352]

What an amazing performance that is still emulated to this day!

[@heidigouge9737]

I remember seeing this on TV. Her stage costume was inspired by the treasures of Tutankhamun that was touring the U.S.

[@diniastuart3137]

Wow ree ree sound and look beautiful

[@midnitesky]

Excellent video! Thank you. This must've been late 1978 cuz I hear the transition from her Almighty Fire voice to her La Diva voice.

[@maudeneyarber9997]

What did you expect from an Aries 😍😘 😘!!

[@nopjack7278]

Woooweeee!! The Queen was turned up! Loved it...simply beautiful.

[@ShirleyOverton-e9h]

[@chrisbrinkley8921]

Queen Aretha

[@centralanszz3874]

a unique voice, why she didn't play in movies, she also had acting talent

[@cadetrobinson94]

She said she never got roles that she was interested in.

[@iamDavidaRose]

WOKE AF! Love you Queen!

[@ABCDuwachui]

Davida Marie Rose what's so woke about it

This is great. Thank you for posting!

[@livencali1]

I was waiting for the high register on respect and she would never disappoint!❤

[@sirblack1619]

At 7:15 that is so classic her. Give her at any period of her career!

[@janbriggs3387]

AWESOME. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS FOOTAGE!!!

[@tyquaunopelika]

POWER 💨👌🏾❤️

[@rihmedia7917]

1:05 Reminds me of Beychella. Awesome

[@articulatemadness]

You can tell here her voice has already started changing. This was the era where the throat surgeries started and her range went into that 1980s era from all her smoking. It wasn't fully gone at this point but it wasn't what it was in th Rock Steady era.

[@articulatemadness]

@Freddie Davis Her voice in the Arista years is raspy, hollow, and wobbly. It doesn't sound anything like the Lady Soul era of Aretha. If you can't hear that I don't know what to tell you - the Arista years were her screaming years to me.

[@ahlupenya4564]

Hard to believe SPARKLE was only 2 years earlier. You Light Up My Life is basically unrecognizable. Thank goodness for RESPECT at the end

[@noreneal7252]

@@articulatemadness So “Jump to it”, “Get it right”, “Love all the hurt away”, “Who’s zooming who”, “Freeway of love”, “I knew you were waiting for me”, “Oh happy day”, and etc. are her screaming 🧐?

[@articulatemadness]

@@noreneal7252 Definitely. She was doing that church scowling Dionne talks about all the time. It wasn't clear notes and her voice had gone halfway down by then. And for the record Cissy too, which can be heard on Jump To It. Cissy though always was the female Cecil Womack. Singing too loud background and off key.

[@noreneal7252]

@@articulatemadness lol 😂 leave Cissy alone 😂 nah it was just Aretha was going through a lot of stress and started smoking like crazy. Her voice got more raspy and husky. I liked it until about 89-91. Once she stopped smoking her voice was back in tip top shape, she just couldn’t keep that weight down. I like all Aretha’s different vocal eras and sounds. It spices things up and makes her unique.

[@kennethdrake7686]

He was so classy....

[@BrianSummers-g6y]

Just now seeing this for the first time didn't know she got down like this

[@ahlupenya4564]

Aretha better be giving Geraldine Jones realness.

[@piustwelfth]

This was not long after the King Tut craze had occurred in the USA.

[@staxoffunk1863]

A studio version is locked in the vaults was to be released with the Sweet Passion project

[@salvosalvo8089]

Who wrote this song?

[@felipenunez3931]

Horrible version llevado a su género musical no suena bien y además ni remotamente alcanza al original aún cuando sabemos que fue la reina del soul y la escenografía y visitation aún la hicieron lucir peor para mi gusto Con todo el respeto a la gran cantante Aretha Frankly

[@Dino-su2wh]

she sing like Tina Turner

[@Timmyjl25]

What?😕😕

[@MrsMattMurphy]

@@Timmyjl25 yeah I know lol lol I don't think so lol Tina Turner would only dream about sounding like Aretha not the other way around lol

[@quincycooper79]

@@MrsMattMurphy Yes nobody can't touch Aretha vocally,but Tina Turner has a great voice as well.

[@davidcfelix2430]

No Aretha doesn't sing like Tina Turner!! Aretha sings like the Queen of Soul! There's no comparison at all? Please have your ears checked!!

[@christhomas5761]

Two totally different voices and totally different vocal styles.
