Aretha Franklin - "Make Them Hear You" | 25th Anniversary Concert

[@franktoney8431]

Man I miss her more and more each day, there will never be another voice like hers.RIP QUEEN ARETHA FRANKLIN

[@keyarataylor255]

Go out and tell our story Let it echo far and wide Make them hear you Make them hear you How justice was our battle And how justice was denied Make them hear you Make them hear you And say to those who blame us For the way we chose to fight That sometimes there are battles Which are more than black or white And I could not put down my sword When justice was my right Make them hear you Make them hear you My part may lead to Heaven or Hell And God will say what's best But one thing He will never say Is that I went quietly to my rest Go out and tell our story to your daughters and your sons Make them hear you Make them hear you And tell them, in our struggle We were not the only ones Make them hear you Make them hear you Broken maybe from your parlment In your classroom with your pen Teach every child to raise his voice And then my brothers, then Will justice be demanded by ten million righteous men? Make them hear you When they hear you, I'll be near you Again

What she said at the beginning of the performance and this song is so fitting for what's going on in the world right now today 2020.

[@robinconnell5050]

What a beautiful song, and interpretation! I had not heard this until this morning when I was asked to learn it to play in church tomorrow. What good fortune for me to have now heard this. Thank you, Aretha, and your musical director. Not a criticism but I wish I could hear this with live strings (instead of digitized). I hope i can find a recorded version with orchestra!

Where is the full video

[@omigoshddness]

WHAT KEY IS THIS?!?

[@omigoshddness]

I've been trying to find a mezzo-friendly arrangement for weeks but I just need a reference and the key she transposed to is perfect. 😭 but I can't find sheet music anywhere.

[@cleopatrajones2024]

She needed to take voice lessons around this time. Her transition from chest to head is too obvious and the upper is too weak.

[@no1nestandsalone387]

I disagree not everything has to be literal and technical

[@sheroderickjohnson]

She sounds good. Best performance of this. Better than the Manela one

[@cleopatrajones2024]

@@sheroderickjohnson I will give you that but her upper register at this time was shot and this song has a big ending.

[@cleopatrajones2024]

@@no1nestandsalone387 She was out of breathe the most at this time and this song was too big for her to sing. When she sang in her chest voice, her tone was fine but when it was time to move to the next octave, her voice got whiny and the transition wasnt smooth. It sounded like a totally different person in the same song. It like she's singing a duet.

[@sheroderickjohnson]

@@cleopatrajones2024 I agree with you
