I loved how Aretha was never void of self confidence. There are other world famous singers who would never take the stage sleeveless. I love this!! So effortless and flawless. This girl is certainly missed.

[@waamiq360]

I don't see weak, I see strength!! She was up in age but still classy!

[@derrickw3021]

Best female performer of all time , Lady Soul ! RIP

[@stmcn4392]

I love you Queen of Soul, I miss you, but your gift will live with me forever

[@lorebay2593]

Grown folks song, no children, teenagers allowed!

[@murphybrowne12]

Oh the backup singers have that "Black girl magic!!!" The moves!!!

[@zakiyahpointer4605]

If you remember en vogue re made this song.. Thts who the dancers resemble to me.. 👑 shit 🔥

[@zakiyahpointer4605]

Her voice was so soothing and never changed.. you felt every song/medley/lyric tht she ever sung .. rip queen 🔥

[@BLKNBALD100]

Aretha was not only the Queen of Soul but she was music...therefore, down to the last note she sang and when the music stopped, she was gone. RIP Aretha...

[@you2candoit]

Say it, Aretha! Miss the Queen! Those backup girls know how to give it to him!

[@lisaaugustin5400]

Yes, cause Aretha is to old to give it to him, she cant do it anymore !

[@lindabrown2090]

Never under estimate the “ Queen Of Soul”. I believe if she could sing about it, she still had it. Didn’t you hear what she said. “ you Know Baby, I Cant Get 👑🎤🎹🎶🎼🎵👠👠♥️🙏🏾Enough Of Your Good Old Funky Stuff” lol.

Just because you can sing dont make you beautiful, just saying

[@ArtR.cover2000]

@@derricklbraddock4402 so what are you trying to say, b! tch.

[@artaim2000]

Just because you need a little Jesus in your life doesn't mean you have to be on your knees for a homosexual. You should be on your knees for God. Damn sissy

Is that En Vogue?

[@TracyAWillis]

ENIGMA -POP- No her background singers

[@jkeilyndesmond9560]

That’s what I thought 😂😂 I think she had them to dress like them.

[@tretureaud2000]

J'Keilyn Desmond that would've been dope if envogue was in the background dancing to Aretha Franklin

[@malexander2147]

Lol, no

[@lisaaugustin5400]

Aretha was to old to turn around and wiggle and hit her own butt, thats why she got the dancers !!!

[@ENDTIMEsVideoLibrary]

She must have liked the En Vogue video because they TOTALLY ripped off the En Vogue video verson for the Background Singer choreography! Love me some Aretha tho..

[@melaninenriched7844]

Ripped off is a strong word especially since she's the original artist to sing the song.

[@ENDTIMEsVideoLibrary]

@@melaninenriched7844 I wasn't talking about the song. I was talking about the background choreography. I know that she's the original artist to sing the song.

[@lisaaugustin5400]

Aretha got to old to turn around and spank her own butt !!! No shade she really did it when she was younger back in 1988 !!! thats why she has the dancers,

[@kelvinsims3613]

Someone hasn’t seen Sparkle! EnVogue stole the choreography from Lonette McKee, Irene Cara etc from the 1976 movie!

[@ShangoJamal]

This has no climax. It stays the same from start to finish. The music builds, but the vocals never do

[@-savannah]

She was sick

[@theblueangel28]

Yeah...not every song is a power ballad or an aria. Seems kinda culturally and musically ignorant of you

[@iamlove113]

Hush… the Queen is singing.

[@yw123wallace4]

They used her down to the wire.

No they did not. Notice her coffin was carried LOW. She never souled out. She will always be our BLACK QUEEN of EVERYTHING. She was asked to cross over to sell to the white audience. She never did. Get your FACTS.

[@josielopez281]

Don’t you mean the she worked down to the wire.
