Aretha Franklin | Hey Now Hey | Live 1973

[@jacegainer3841]

Give us cinnamon rolls Retha! Let me go make some. Sing mama!

[@newblue2468]

Sing, sing mama re !!! 😔

[@SashineB]

And sweet lemon peppermints!

[@LuLu-nw6bi]

What a voice, what a singer, what a musician...

[@darrylgaines2540]

That VOICE OMG I LOVED the studio recording but THIS live recording is ….EVERYTHING 🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@melregissings]

This is her prime year vocally. Effortlessly taking the sweet lemon peppermint line up an octave then singing the low octave with no hesitation. She still had complete power and fullness of tone in the upper notes, no covering. 1973 Aretha was the best.

[@abraxishalliwell9645]

For me 1972 “Amazing Grace” takes the cake as her prime year

[@MPardo-cx6jj]

It's all a matter of anyone's opinion!

[@gregggreene7416]

Queen Cleopatra Franklin.

[@atheoma]

that's one of her best recordings, I love the whole album. and her live vocals are just pure gold!

[@SashineB]

Yes, very true. I just wish it had been a hit for her. It didn't get much airplay and the sales were not great.

[@cassandrasoler8309]

Flip Wilson ain't lied. She takes our hearts too. Sing it Queen!!!

[@markwhitbread7383]

I loved this album, way ahead of its time. Just listen to Quincy’s arrangements and the voice of the queen. It really gets no better than this.

[@sashineb.2114]

Yes, it's a fabulous album. It's just too bad it did not sell well, especially after all of her 1972 success, including the Amazing Grace sessions.

[@billyjenemusiclover667]

People always say that the group Labelle was the first to dress in unique and flamboyant clothing on stage, but I always say that it was Aretha who wore unique and daring fashions first!

[@Dee-wr5si]

Wow love seeing these vintage performances of Aretha! The outfit is stunning looking like a true Queen!

[@soulfulvoices2341]

Superwoman of music ! The voice and the COSTUME !!!

[@darkfeather6857]

I love the creativity of the costume! The 70s seems to have been such a freeing time for fashion, when entertainers dressed like comic book characters. Seems appropriate given how unconventional this song is. I love it!

[@piustwelfth]

It was the Cleopatra look. There was a big revival of interest in ancient Egypt in the 1970's. The contents of King Tut's tomb toured the USA to a massive turnout. It was front page news across the country. My Mom took us to see the exhibit at the De Young museum in SF, and we waited hours in line.

[@nigelhewitt-cooper4422]

Never seen a live version of this. Incredible as always.

[@floydfelder3580]

The Queen 👸 voice on this one was in tip tic shape,she hit 👋🏾those notes 🎶 with ease,long live the Queen of Soul 😊

[@vm7497]

Yes she did and was straight chest power. No falsetto or head voice used. Complete vocal brilliance!

[@gregggreene7416]

Love her headpiece

[@dkthagxd]

That part "SWEEET lemon PePperMInt"🎵🎵🎵 she carressed those words. She was serving em up in that costume. SANG ON! 🎤❤

[@larrytatum1341]

BEAUTIFUL LIVE PERFORMANCE!!!!!

[@RUTHE1ONE]

Her performance on Dinah Shore of Ain't nothing like the real thing..is OUT OF SIGHT!

[@BlackMusicArchiveLive]

Indeed it is!

[@Dee-wr5si]

Yes! I asked about finding the whole performance because I saw a lil clip of it years ago and it was amazing. She wore that same wedding looking dress she performed "A Song For You".

[@KeizerHedorah]

This album is when the music the lyrics and Arethas voice all were amazing, such a great album.

[@leonardjackson1573]

Omg!!!! Thank you for uploading the live performance of "Hey Now, Hey!" 🔥🔥🔥🔥 SANG QUEEN Aretha Franklin!!!!

[@derekoverton3461]

All Hail the Queen & the Sweethearts Of Soul!!

[@mamashouse2]

The power of the QUEEN❤

[@irenewhite4258]

Love the outfit!

[@AC-kl8gi]

I was (and still am) a total fan of Aretha Franklin! I was 16 when this came on tv but somehow I missed it. Thank you so much for this!

[@yellowlight2563]

Thank you for showing this!!! Funnily enough, I discovered this album like a year ago and listened to it and loved it (Sister from Texas is my fav) and it annoyed me that it didn't really make a splash since it was one of her most creative albums. It sucks that sooo many people said they didn't get it, yet would happily listen to I am the walrus by the Beatles

[@newblue2468]

Her "Hey Now album is amongst my favorites and one of her best in my opinion. Thanks for this !

[@yellowlight2563]

Btw, this is my 3rd favorite song of the album after the deepness of your eyes, I've been listening to it recently, actually

[@mamashouse2]

Mr. SPAIN BEST SONG ON ALBUM❤

[@DJR120]

Have mercy!

[@karlatkinson4397]

Genius! No other words are needed.

[@AMindWithNoCeiling]

Whew.

[@eduardos8031]

Unbelievable!! Amazing, thank you !! Have you ever seen her sing With Everything I feel In You on the Tonight show..... also amazing!! I really miss her!!

[@BlackMusicArchiveLive]

I believe she's wearing the pink fur?

[@sissimpson]

Love this album to this day.

[@thegodblogger3812]

Costume gives pause....but that voice is a force of nature! Rest in glory, Miss Ree.

[@theblueangel28]

This is my favorite album I'm so grateful to you for posting this!

[@robertspiegel9215]

Thank you for sharing another gem!

[@vm7497]

You see how Aretha just threw her arms out at the end of the selection. She was saying thank you, I love you. From the Queen of Soul!!

[@gregggreene7416]

Sweet Cinnamon Rolls! 😂

[@100_Percent_PURE_LUV]

YESSSSS🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@majorboyce123]

Awesome awesome awesome so Madonna got that outfit she wore in the nineties from observing the Queen.

[@sirblack1619]

Are you ready to go?!! This just made a bad day good! I so love the Hey Now Hey album and to see the title cut live is epic for me. Queen was not playing with the song nor the dress! Side-note now we know who was doing the background vocals on the album. Cousin Brenda, Margaret and Pat put their foot in them background vocals. Sounding like a choir!

[@newmenewme-iw2ox]

One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite albums ❤️ ❤❤.

[@aminsmith9657]

GOD BLESS YA DOC

[@Emeless]

Ooowee didn’t know you put this up. Sweet!

[@valentine6790]

YES!!!

[@aldoangeloni4221]

Maybe some of her best songwriting.

[@colortura]

Thank you Milik for uploading this video.

[@cflo1023]

THANKS FOR THIS!!!!!!!

[@BrianSummers-g6y]

First see this seeing this video, interesting gown🙉🙈🙊

[@vm7497]

It's traditional African dress.

[@rosannascary11]

❤

[@honeychoi7424]

Can you upload her performance of "Just A Lucky So And So"? I've been waiting for that since the rebrand of your channel. I would love to be able to watch it again!

[@GisellsQueendom]

Aretha wore some crazy, Wild mess back in the day 😂😂 but God she had a talent

[@vm7497]

The mess is actually true African Cultural Attire. The Queen studied and admired her ancestors. Possibly, if you studied our ancestors if you're black American you will see that she is all of that and more.

[@antd8259]

Her experimental period.

[@thegodblogger3812]

Right. I'm not sophisticated enough to get the full lick of the lyrics....but that voice....that voice....that voice.

[@adrina911]

She was said after doing this album, her selling streak and having number one hits slowed down for a bit. She always thought the “Hey Now Hey” album was a curse.

[@theblueangel28]

But her highest creative achievement!! I'm so glad she made it

[@thegodblogger3812]

Aretha's best records were when producers tightly reined her in. She tended to float off course left to her own devices. Quincy Jones produced "Hey Now Hey," but he and Miss Ree were at odds for most of the trip. Ultimately, he sat back and let her do her thing. As said before, Ree does better with strong producers who can basically keep control.

[@theblueangel28]

@The Godblogger oh? Like when..or what records?

[@thegodblogger3812]

@@theblueangel28 I don't get your question. What cha asking specifically?

[@theblueangel28]

@@thegodblogger3812 oh. which records are you referring to, where she drifted off course without a strong producer?

What kind of headdress is that? I wanna know

Looks like peacock feathers.
