[@jagodaolejarz6118]

One of the best covers of this song. What a feeling.

[@youtubeguy1]

Jagoda Olejarz see scary pockets version with Kenton Chen. I also see that you are a musician as well. Will check out your stuff 🌴😎🌈Aloha

[@jagodaolejarz6118]

KZbin Guy ok, I’ll check it! Thank you!! 🧡

[@danahdk]

I recommend Lianne La Havas’ cover. Similar, but just her and a guitar! She’s a wonderful musician.

[@jagodaolejarz6118]

Danah Koch I love that cover! And love her too. Im planning to do the same cover in similar style

[@danahdk]

Jagoda Olejarz nice!! I’m working on that one also!

[@tommyrq180]

The guitar work here is sublime. A touch of Spanish and cowboy rhythms very different than normal for Stories. So smooth, so precise. Loved it.

[@rosasumilepalermogofredo8333]

"I Say A Little Prayer" The moment I wake up Before I put on my makeup I say a little prayer for you While combing my hair now And wondering what dress to wear now I say a little prayer for you Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart And I will love you Forever and ever, we never will part Oh, how I love you Together, forever, that's how it must be To live without you Would only mean heartbreak for me I run for the bus, dear While riding I think of us, dear I say a little prayer for you At work I just take time And all through my coffee break time I say a little prayer for you Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart And I will love you Forever and ever we never will part Oh, how I'll love you Together, forever, that's how it must be To live without you Would only mean heartbreak for me I say a little prayer for you I say a little prayer for you My darling, believe me (Believe me) For me there is no one but you Please love me too (Answer my prayer) And I'm in love with you (Answer my prayer) Answer my prayer now, babe (Answer my prayer) Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart And I will love you Forever and ever we never will part Oh, how I'll love you Together, forever, that's how it must be To live without you Would only mean heartbreak for me

[@Quatrofromage]

How can somebody put a thumb down on this???????? The humanity 😭😭 She is unbelievable!! What a voice! ♥️

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

I know this is Arliss' second appearance here, but this time you really perked my ears. The cleanness, brightness, and power of her voice was simply delightful. So glad to have met her, thanks Ryan.

[@ericadamcollins]

What a great rendition. The queen of soul would be happy to know that the torch has been passed. Just beautiful!!!

[@jenderamos1787]

I suddenly felt like crying after hearing this song...the soulful voice, the guitars, and the lyrics.... makes me think of what true love is...sounds cheesy but that’s what the song reminded me of.

[@didoym8028]

It's 2024 and I'm still coming back to this video! You guys are just stellar! Queen Aretha would be so proud!

[@boastherkildsen1120]

Her passionate singing is fire! 🔥 Her attitude too! 🔥

[@SamSikoa]

[@megshawskitchen]

That voice. .. that falsetto... you're incredible

[@marilynmontague6401]

Love the audio production of Stories. Kudos to the producers.

[@inber]

How often does it happen that you hear a cover of a classic Aretha Franklin song and want to hear it again? And again - instead of the original? This lady Arlissa makes an excellent job with a song that Aretha Franklin made immortable. I keep coming back here. At least half of the 1,2 million views must be mine...

[@sheenagodoy1435]

One of my all time fav covers. Just find myself coming back every time.

[@blindworldcreature]

Forever and EVER this will be my favorite version of this song.

[@badgerbucks4460]

I'm going to take this space to share another cover I like. I say a little prayer covered by Lianne La Havas. Please reply on my comment covers you enjoy! Have a nice day

[@dianaisidro8630]

I say a little prayer for you- H.E.R is another good cover of this song and I recommend these two also: Blinding lights- Teddy Swims (The Weeknd cover) I've got you under my skin- Ben L'oncle Soul ( Frank Sinatra cover) Hope you enjoy!

[@laurels2004]

Sooo happy I found this goddess! You can tell she’s FEELING that SOUL baby… PREACH girl… Amen and hallelujah! 🙌🙏😎🎶✌️🔥

[@albertmartinez465]

[@BaldursPicketFence]

OMG her control at high registers ... makes it look so easy.

Can you ask for anything more? Young, beautiful, talented, happy, style, right amount of masculine n' femenine energy. Wonderful. Maybe the next step is an original hit song or maybe she already has it. Sincere congrats

"Ok, here's the game plan. I'm gonna go Dionne on the verses, but I'll get real Aretha on the chorus. In the end it's gonna sound like Arlissa."

So 3 guitarists combo is the new mandate? I'm loving nonetheless! These Stripped down versions make you realise the tonal magic of music! Love from India! Btw people should definitely see Ryan's Mexico Song on his YT page!

[@jordanmenard8834]

The guy on the right isn't playing the guitar, it's a bass :)

[@stevenpietrusza6944]

2 guitars lol

3 guitars. The bass is also a guitar. Unless its a double bass, which its not.

[@stevenpietrusza6944]

@@foofoorabbitt1196 bass guitar

[@niigu]

@@foofoorabbitt1196 Yes, it´s a bass guitar. But musically it serves a different purpose than a regular acoustic guitar :)

[@sl1393]

For those of you wondering Dionne Warwick recorded this but also Aretha afterwards. Maybe this singer and group went by Aretha's version. Back in the day, they were always releasing a song by one artist and then the same song by another artist a short time later. Different labels tho.

[@jansimonsen7889]

What a voice
