Aretha Franklin Week! #1 - Respect | Blues Brothers 2000

[@beverlybrown2673]

You have no idea what an impact this song had when it came out in the 60s. For a woman, especially a Black woman to stand up and demand respect was a seismic shift.

To the beautiful folks and the back who's are saying this is a horrible list i made this list for me these are my top 5 fav Aretha songs. If you think you can do better go ahead and summit your top 5 and i will be voting for it.🤎😊

[@mikemcgovern5536]

I love the list.

[@Salamanka-3424]

I think this week was amazing thank you for requesting

[@jocelyngipson7882]

This is one of my favorite movies

"Respect" is a song written and originally recorded by American soul singer Otis Redding. It was released in 1965 as a single from his third album Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul and became a crossover hit for Redding. In 1967, fellow soul singer Aretha Franklin covered and rearranged "Respect", resulting in a bigger hit and her signature song. It has often been considered one of the best R&B songs of its era, earning Franklin two Grammy Awards in 1968 for "Best Rhythm & Blues Recording" and "Best Rhythm & Blues Solo Vocal Performance, Female", and being inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1987.

Those backup singers tho 😄 (they're fantastic) 👍🏾

[@Salamanka-3424]

Sheree Love you did amazing with this list

[@msadrienafokoevents7122]

"Aint No Way". Her best song. Part Two Week of Aretha Franklin must include this song. Jennifer Hudson sings a fabulous version. Its a song that brings you closer to Love even with sorrow. Oh by the way she replaced Pravoretti in a concert with a few hours notice. She sang it in his key too. Look it up on youtube. She was majestic .

[@Salamanka-3424]

Another perfect reaction

[@zanealberto7741]

[@zanealberto7741]

I’m telling you two, they changed Aretha’s outfits IN HER COFFIN… AT HER FUNERAL,,, THAT LAT LASTED OVER 10 hrs televised ✋😇😰…. Her voice got EVEN BETTER ! …. But🤷‍♂️anyway check it out ! Zane 🫶

[@luminiferous1960]

One of Aretha's best live performances is her 1976 live performance of "Giving Him Something He Can Feel" on the Tonight Show, available on KZbin at kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJauZZKJbtdmr9k

[@YvonneBeard-zh5uw]

Are you going to do her with George Micheal??

[@sarablack2547]

I knew you were waiting.

[@Jasmine-iw3wi]

Not if it didn't get votes. I believe in the Sat live it was on the poll but lost

[@catt88]

Nah….F@€K that, we need a redo!!! Of ALL of the classic Aretha moments in her 60+ year ICONIC career, this is what was selected as her Top 5. Blasphemy

[@ShareeLove3]

Yes... this is what I selected MY personal favorite Aretha songs but she do need a second week.

[@deed2157]

You're talking about performances or songs? Like I've seen her perform these songs at different events

[@luminiferous1960]

To see Aretha revisit her Gospel roots, I recommend her 1972 live performance of "Mary Don't You Weep" at New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imKmZWacoM97aLs

[@tygrysisko]

Check her take at Jumping Jack Flash. You'll love it. Rockin Aretha from the 80's.

[@MichaelM-v1p]

This is the only scene i like in the movie.

[@eddiedoezit6751]

Many people don't know this was an Otis Redding cover...

[@TheDivayenta]

She also stole the show in Blues Brothers I with “ Think”.

[@Tina123Mor]

Adele para cuando o empire of the sun !?????

[@Jasmine-iw3wi]

Im sorry. but this isnt a deep dive on Aretha with this list. Youve heard four out of five of these songs and this isnt even at her peak

[@loveforliam]

React to Check on it by Beyoncé next please 🙏

[@Jasmine-iw3wi]

They don't look at requests here. They make a weekly suggestions reaction video where you put a list of five songs you want them to react to. The list gets voted on and the highest voted top four lists get on a poll on their Sat live and voted on again

[@luminiferous1960]

From the '60s, you should react to Aretha Franklin - Live at Concertgebouw Amsterdam 1968 - Dr. Feelgood: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5WlfGiGgctki6s In this live performance, she accompanies herself on piano.

[@blackblake3658]

Horrible No. 1 for Aretha. Ain't No Way (with Cissy Houston doing background vocals) and any of her gospel songs would be 100 times better than this performance. Make no mistake, Aretha still sounds good, but this version is not as good as the OG.

[@ShareeLove3]

@blackblake3658 I love all those songs but this list is my personal list of aretha songs i like the most.😊

[@msadrienafokoevents7122]

My first thought was Ain't no way was No. 1. But Respect has its merits. A classic song with significant meaning to black women in the 1960/70's. "Suck it to me" 🫶🫣😉

[@msadrienafokoevents7122]

I agree but it's what it is

[@jassellb]

I'm regretting picking Aretha week, this has to be the workst list. Of ALL the Arethra songs/vidoes these are that persons list? Next time I'm voting for Kylie...

[@ShareeLove3]

These are my personal favorite Aretha songs Thank you for voting for it.😊

[@Jasmine-iw3wi]

Plus they've heard all these songs already except one. I think most people who don't even know Aretha much know these songs. I like when they react to something they've never heard or seen. They said they didn't know young Aretha when they saw the #5 video so anyone requesting Aretha next time should choose from her earlier days.

[@ShareeLove3]

@@Jasmine-iw3wi They heard most of the songs they react the two. This this is MY personal list and My favorite Aretha songs and that's why they are MY top 5. As I said before if somebody summit there top 5 fav Aretha songs i will be voting for it.🤎😊

[@Jasmine-iw3wi]

@@ShareeLove3 I wouldn't have said I like when they react to songs they've never heard if I didn't see it that much. I wouldn't even bother to subscribe to a channel of people reacting to mostky songs they've already heard. I've seen a lot of their videos and there are many songs they haven't heard before esp if it's r&b and European artists Im aware it's your list of favorites which I'm not stating you shouldn't have done but I can still make an observation and what I like to see. That doesn't mean anyone has to abide by it.🙂
