Aretha Franklin, Don't play that song for me, Switzerland on June 12, 1971

[@fjohnson5906]

She's playing the hell out of that piano!!

[@dianewilliams3740]

She’s making that piano talk to you.

[@lstill2087]

Wasnt she tho? Im thinkin she was imagining "whoevah He was" up under those piano keys she was banging... i mean... jammin on😋👯🏽‍♀️

[@dwightpowell6673]

​@@dianewilliams3740The late great Jerry Wexler said" just let her play the piano and sing,she is phenomenal"

[@1organgrinder]

She beat that piano to life and sang that song to death!

[@megaoldskool76]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 great comment!! 😊

[@galacticgriot7933]

That tempo! Aretha gets no props for bangin' the hell out of a piano. Smokey said she was a 7 year old prodigy on the keys when he met her. If you ain't singing, dancing or both listening to this you've got to be paralyzed

[@paolobrandani1901]

She's a tornado of energy. Only she can give me this kind of light! She lift me up

[@Onlythetruth247]

Play that piano Ree!!!

[@davidvack4382]

How could you not love this woman and her music !

[@pharris1999]

She's playing the keys off that piano and her voice is phenomenal

[@OCRATHLETE]

Aretha's at her Best when she's plays piano and performs at the same time.

[@tasibho]

She was unmatched at that time. Her vocals so resilient with incredible stamina. Still to this day few can touch this!

The heavens are singing with Queen Aretha now. Humanity is richer because of you. Rip

I truly was only 17 when this was released. A few grown ass men vying for my attention & I SOoo wasn't ready! So grateful for a protective family circle all around me. R.I.P 👑 of Soul! ❤🌹🌹🌹

Aretha, all into this song completely with great harmony pushing it. Salute to the band too!

[@sheldonpowell3014]

She killed this performance, but they know this was too fast 😂😂😂😂

[@merlinlevanwilkins1779]

Sheer perfection, a song's song. One of the best Jazz songs on the planet. Play it regularly for me cause mine did not lie. Half a Century and counting to 220,000. Play it some more.

They were at a concert, she was at church.

[@TheCertainView]

Omg!!what a performance...i love miss aretha..

[@davidwillis9037]

What Aretha dose is not easy I can tell she was hott drained and about to pass out.💐💐💐

[@vm7497]

Yes you are very correct. One thing that especially young people today don't know about and don't understand is, they had to have very intense powerful lighting during live recording sessions so the video recording could be light enough to see. They did not have the technology of today. It made it very hot. Nothing like today. And yes it was a much harder atmosphere to work in.

You will notice that she even screams on key as opposed to Samantha fish that carry a,note in a bucket. Absolute decline in American music.
