People forget that Aretha was a damn good pianist. That's why she could ad lib such crazy runs and always stay with the harmony and never lose the melody. Easier said than done. She was a complete musician.

[@cynthiadavis204]

To Mr. Jerry Arispi, like Bro. Ray and Stevie Wonder, although not blind, she played with feelings, and by ear (sound), that's why she never lost a note, or harmony as she sang or played, truly an extraordinary original, geniuses,and another legend in her own time. Thank you for sharing your God given gift with us all. , and by ear, (sound).

May I just say how much talent it requires to tell a band member to give you a key and then improvise your way through the song. Aretha should have sang this short rendition at Whitney's funeral.

[@mzrenee4273]

It's just mind-blowing that a whole level of talent is gone within years of each other: Michael.. Whitney...and Prince. I was born in the 50s, so all the artists from 60s, 70s, and 80s are in my genre and are still performing with a few gone in their youthfulness like Phyllis Hyman..Vesta..Natalie Cole, Luther..who it would have been cool to watch and experience growing older with their talent. The 3 that are gone -- it would have been something to see growing older with their talent that you could still experience for that generation to look back on and still enjoy. Seems the industry gets behind those who fall under the category of performers more so than those who can come out and sing or play music on par with the singers and entertainers of eras gone by. Just my take based on what I see. Seems you can only have one major person and the others just get a turn at bat.. And other performers line up to get their turn for a season... Glad I grew up in the era I did where we had a richness of singers and singing groups and singing bands on display at the same time.. View your parents record collection and the songs being sampled. Blessings to all who read this. Stay safe and be watchful and prayerful.

[@tonyamorgan7731]

Over the past week I have been marinating in Aretha's music and it has been soothing to my soul. I have been crying a river because I am going to miss The Queen of Soul. Aretha can SANG any genre of music (Gospel, R&B, Soul, Pop, Rock and Opera and others that are not mentioned) and it can touch your soul like never before, this is why she is The Queen of Soul. When I heard this rendition of "I will always Love you" I cried even more. Rest in peace, Queen Aretha Frankin.

Aretha has always been a beast on the ivories ...I've always felt her best performances were when she sang while playing piano.

This is the first time I heard this switch of this song. Aretha switch the whole rhythm of the song. She made it her own. That was so BEAUTIFUL how she did it/I wanted to cry. Aretha you will be truly miss . We also miss Whitney. 😚
