No cell phones recording video..everyone just having a good time.. imagine that!!

[@ol2rap]

People back then lived more in the moment than in today's world.

[@johnLennon255]

Well duh cell phone's didn't exist 😂

[@johndepalma6657]

This song is a jam! and why do I love those backup singers so much. Their part is great, but I love the small but groovy moves they've got..especially the lady in the middle! Anyone know who they are?

[@larrytatum1341]

THIS IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE JAM BY THE QUEEN....ROCK STEADY IN HEAVEN REE!!!!

[@colegio2239]

The soul of those high notes 🎶 soars to the heavens! Aretha can make you dance and take you to church at the same time! So happy I got to see her live before the Lord called her home a year later!

[@vj5225]

That part! 3:03. This was a time where talent & soul was expressed in a way you just don't see anymore. R I.P. Aretha, you made a mark in soul history we'll never forget.

[@leerhode1021]

Don’t it though???!!!

[@GoldenLady1007]

[@DJLPsl]

Years have passed by, soul music has gone through changes... Yet tracks like this still hold supreme. Why? They had soul and a message. 🙏🏼👍🏼

[@explore4284]

Now that’s what I call RAW and PURE SOUL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@walterpewen7903]

Fifty plus years ago this was the pinnacle. Still is. I remember it from 72 on the radio.

[@sheilapalmer9539]

She was a power house

[@freel201]

The funky breakdown though 😎

[@charleswilliams8248]

This song is still fire 🔥!

[@adonaiyah2196]

One time in my music class they were playing this real funky beat and i was singing. It sounded just like this song. I threw the original lyrics away and just started singing this

[@johnb4183]

Rock steady soul train dancing

[@Barbara03hp]

All Hail The Queen, MS.ARETHA FRANKLIN. That's it, That's All. Thank you for this post.🌹

[@Giselle62]

Almost anyone could feel a faint feeling of funkiness listening to this song. She looks so pretty that color hair.

[@sheilapalmer9539]

She was sososo sososo deep

[@sheilapalmer9539]

She was sososo sososo pure

[@jazminbarbarayoung8150]

Love this song

[@icaroson]

God bless you Aretha.

[@mimmoleonardi8643]

The Queen of soul, Amazing Aretha ❤❤❤

[@velvetpilot2008]

I swear I remember another performance of "Rock Steady" around the same time on Soul Train or another show where she's wearing the traditional African garb she started wearing during the Young, Gifted & Black era. Maybe I'm just misremembering. Either way I love Aretha. She is the Queen Of Soul for a reason. Bernard Purdie kills it on drums on this and the entire LP.

[@J.Evans_Official]

It might be her appearance on the flip wilson show

[@michaelwalker305]

Flip Wilson show

[@StevenFrench-hs7kc]

❤Queen of SOUL❤

[@GicuConst]

She is the one ❤

[@bigjon.6258]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Ruby_Sterling]

One of the best singer songwriters

[@stefanol4886]

The cure for America’s ills: BRING BACK SOUL TRAIN as the nation’s weekly dance therapy session! Republican/Democrat, black/white, young/old, gay/straight, girl/boy, rich/poor, cat/dog, foreign/national, disillusioned/hopeful - it didn’t matter a damn thing, you got on da floor and got your funk on and enjoyed the fact that we are all one big beautiful dysfunctional family and that’s OK. ❤

[@thudor1]

Who came here after hearing Bill McClintock's absolutely flawless mashup of this song with "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith?

[@brentwylie5558]

Bingo! Her high notes with their guitar riffs were insane!

[@jazminbarbarayoung8150]

I like this song

[@gregd6022]

The amount of FUNK at this jam is got the meter pegged in the RED!

[@svenjakratzik7855]

[@sheilapalmer9539]

She was so soso so soso so soso so soso so soso suerb

[@richardadkin7226]

Fabulous Such a groove 💥

[@sheilapalmer9539]

She was the voice

[@sheilapalmer9539]

She was the real deal

[@larenabillingsley7250]

Marlon wrote & produced Janet ‘s first hit record Don’t Stand Another Chance ! This was before her Control album 💿 of course!

[@deonbrown536]

That's right GET DOWN!!!!

[@DorandaCooper]

❤❤❤

[@sheilapalmer9539]

She was a giant

[@troyjohnson9123]

Knowing the story of her lineage, Im convinced that Aretha was God's gift. What a voice!

[@damnright1766]

This is probably my favorite Aretha song. But her catalog is crazy long and good. And people said they always lip synching soul train I don't think so.

[@BRINABOO-s2k]

SINGING LIVE OFF A TRACK AND WHO REMEMBERS THE DANCE CALLED THE ROCK STEADY DONE TO THIS SONG BACK IN THE DAY??? ISN’T THAT HER SISTER CAROLYN ( SHORT ONE) DOING BACKUP VOCALS ON STAGE??

[@sheilapalmer9539]
