Aretha Franklin Dr. Clark Tribute

I'll Fly Away

[@sasilver1]

Now when Aretha Franklin is singing at your funeral, that speaks volumes of the impact that Mattie Moss Clark has made on the music industry.

[@melliemel32]

Plus that’s that Detroit fam.

[@marionbattle5577]

I guarantee you though she was a little not wanting to go back to the 🎤 that’s probably why the conversation was long 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@sarahb6163]

you make it sound like Mattie was nothing or less than or unworthy and Aretha is head honcho and she's doing them a favor by being there uh no do your research sweetie check her credentials she birthed 6 great voices. they were probably friends and she did it cause she wanted to or out of the kindness of her heart

[@markdrinkwater1508]

​@@sarahb6163Aretha is head honcho because her voice is the greatest of all time - so of course it's an honor for the Clarks to have the greatest sing for their mum - and it would be the ultimate for Mattie.

[@markdrinkwater1508]

​@@marionbattle5577Aretha wasn't about trying to take over - even though she knew she was the greatest.

[@Triforce829]

years of singing about it...and now she finally did it...fly away home Aretha Franklin RIP

[@sayurismith1259]

the first note she belted out broke me down!!!!!!!! SHEEEEEESH!!! *Sad face*

[@rosemaryswan406]

Well said Triforce829.

The Baptist came to a Pentecostal church and turned it out! RIP Aretha and Dr. Mattie.

No, the Baptist came to a COGIC church.

that's tru...no matter how much Aretha belts out R-E-S-P-E-C-T...gospel is her true sound or genre of music...Amen Aretha!!!

[@jeffreythames8026]

I'll never forget walking in to the church and see Dr. Clark propped up for the mourners to see her. I was a little boy, but I remember that she looked like a princess in a four poster pinkish bed. I'll never forget it. I also remember Mr. Clean and Twinkie singing a duet. I wish I was able to find it. As I look at the Bishops sitting there, I didn't realize then that I would be married to Bishop Owens' daughter today! God has a plan, already. Just make sure you're ready when it's time for you to get in the game!!! -Jt

[@heywardjohnson9681]

+Jeffrey Thames That duet was Accept What God Allows

[@Eclectically]

I remember also and Karen played the drums...

[@TruthThatSetsFreeMinistries]

What do you mean Mattie Clark moss was propped up and for all to see it?

[@mr_jayling]

TruthThatSetsFreeMinistries she was laid out in a casket without a lid appearing as if she was asleep in a bed.

[@charm7036]

TruthThatSetsFreeMinistries She was literally laying in a four poster bed as if she was just sleeping. Wasn’t a typical casket. Saw it in another video of The Queen Aretha singing.

[@MrStyle23]

That run at the 3 minute mark just was perfect!

[@tikkunsoulam]

ARETHA TORE THAT DOWN!

[@josephbostick1966]

Sing Queen Aretha ,the Men seem at a lost like old Roosters ,But Aretha the chosen one is all the Soulful vessel one needs live in Church if you don't feel her then your Spirit needs adjusted.Shes Real as they come .no body like her or Mahalia never

Detroit's Finest- Michigan's Finest- America's FINEST- THE WORLD'S FINEST. Voice of Decades

[@MALAKYT]

i'm not sure which singer i like more: Aretha Franklin or Mahalia Jackson. both women have/had such powerful, moving and dynamic voices, and both voices are instantly recognizable and are DEFINITELY soul-stirring.

[@q.c.chieftain3085]

Malachite1995 , both Queens are great! Mahalia influenced Aretha & many other legendary singers like James Cleveland, Albertina Walker, Mavis Staples, Patti Labelle, & more!

[@tikkunsoulam]

Mahalia Jackson will ALWAYS be #1 and never did any fancy voice rolling, PURE Spirit and Soul

[@viz1]

You need to post that dance they broke out in after that!

[@ermamccomb1377]

What a tremendous blessing and anointing those two sisters have on their lives. I was truly blessed while they were singing. All praises to the Lord.

[@SoulSir]

She sang this with a lot of her daddy's and Mahalia Jackson's spirit in this homecooming tribute. Can I get uh witness?

[@ranran1300]

Amen 🤗

[@praiseleaderATL]

OMG! OMG! Did Retha have to come in and just show out like dat! I luv her voice every since i was a child. Aretha got her voice truly from her dad and was mentored by great people like Mahalia. If she turns totally over to gospel. My lord. shondoe. lol. datz tongues lol... But really she is AWESOME!!! Sang Re...

[@Bishopluvtheoletimew]

yes God Sing Aretha Love you for Life

[@utwobing]

Lord, Lord, if I could've only been there?.....Love the fabulousness of Ms Franklin's voice.

[@mac48203]

@DaStr8Truth ...many great singers, but only one Aretha Franklin! Well Said!

[@MrBvwilson]

Aretha know she can sang.. I can't believe Bishop Brooks looked so young...

[@1960songwriter]

When she walks n the room she has no Diva attitude demeanor but just the fact of her mere presence demands command and respect knowing that u.r getting ready to hear 1 of the most beautiful angelic voice God made on earth. When.aretha comes to sing n ur town her vocalism is what is motivated and captivating u 2buy a ticket 2her concert. Not.what hit record she may or may not have. U know.she got hits 4days. But it is about that nolimited vocal.range that she has and the pretty beautiful way that she use her beautiful voice at no moment notice. But u.never get tired of it. Sleep on aretha u serve that God giving gift of a vouce of urs well.the way God intended. u.2. Thank God u were not deterred by.naw sayers church members. R.I.P. I digress.

[@lubomusicman]

wow!!!! what a voice!!!! full of anointing and feeling!!!!!

[@DaOrigTruthSeeker]

Why do people like you make everything into a competition? Could it just be that Vanessa like all the others respect and admire the anointing that is on Aretha's voice. I never heard Vanessa try to take one drop of credit that is due Aretha. Some of you people really need to examine your hearts. You say some very devilish things to cause divisions and drama. That is not the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Out of the mouth comes the issues of the heart.

[@cogicjnicholson]

You must have your Dr. Clark's confused, this is the homegoing celebration service of Dr. Mattie Moss Clark. She was the International President of the music department of the Church of God in Christ, Inc.

[@josephbostick1966]

Seems like the Roosters flocked over the Queen to give us some more of Ill Fly Away ,nothing never phony about Aretha

[@godsgifttoearth]

RE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE- the Queen of this thing.

[@cortney4soul]

I would actually say she sounded like herself. She did a lot of that kind of singing in her prime. Vanessa also studied Aretha too so...

[@justachill]

they made her get back up there lol so obviously she was wanted go in re re i love you esp your rendition of jesus hears every prayer its so anoited

[@gobarca1]

I love to see Bishop Ford smile,, :), sing Sis. Franklin

[@cortney4soul]

Re is really Killing!!!!!!!!!

[@prof32]

I used to say the same thing until I heard all of Aretha's music over the years particularly the Amazing Grace cd. When I heard it, I said her range on it reminded me of Patti Labelle while the runs reminded me of Vanessa Bell Armstrong. That's when it hit me. Aretha was singing like that in her prime all the time. There's clips on youtube I believe of Vanessa talking about how she listened to Aretha.

[@dashaun345]

ill never forget that heartbreaken funeral

[@jadon360]

mahalia use to walk away from the mike while the crowd still wanted more, thats even proven in some videos here on youtube, and its written in some biography's about her, sometime the promoters would hold mahalia backstage until the crowd gave more money then they would let her go out, its all about the anticipation to hear the voice, aretha came under mahalias tutolidge so im not shocked to see her do it to, they always have to talk them into goin back out and giving the crowd more.

@jadon360 wow but they did do that back in the day. and in those days folk were going through so much I guess, to hear a soothing word from the lord in song they would beg for more and give more pennies.

In the case of Mahalia Jackson, you can hear on the records people asking for more, and Mahalia even says on one of them something like "This is the part where you go home". But I didn't know about the making the crowd pay more money part.
