Aretha Franklin - A Brand New Me - 3/23/17 - Mohegan Sun Arena - Uncasville, CT

[@pacinorules752]

She fought a good fight against the cancer for 8 years. So thankful that she shared her awesome talent with us.

[@piustwelfth]

Aretha appears to be enjoying herself more than ever. It's great to see her performing in 2017.

[@ammotron5727]

75 years old and still sounding beautiful, still wearing them heels and still making that piano talk some good music. Queen forever.

[@elizabethpascal4473]

My Mother played this song for me when I was 16, and I lost my mind! Aretha played that piano! RIP Queen of soul.

[@onacorona2323]

So good to see Ms. Franklin feeling better and looking breathtaking, and she can still sing like she did in the 60 ...70....80...90..2000 and bring down the house in 2017......SHE IS THE QUEEN OF SOUL... God Bless you Ms. Franklin ⭐

[@prof32]

People love to talk shit about Aretha when comparing her to the other divas but not one of them can sit down and play piano like she does! NOT ONE!!

[@ronwilliams717]

sho cant. I saw her do it live in 1971 she was so amazing that night.

[@robinburks2217]

Theres only one Aretha! And there will never be another.

[@hopelee9917]

prof32 you got that right!

[@colorpurple4623]

No not one!!

[@normaj.3305]

"The High Priestess of Soul" Nina Simone is probably in the same league with Aretha but I prefer more of Aretha's songs .

[@karenturner7674]

In retrospect it appeared that it was very difficult for her to get over to that Piano but when she did " All Hell Broke Out On Those Ivories " All Helluva Performer ; back then Music Was Real from the live instrumental music , to the meaningful and decent lyrics and song mastery! Feel So Blessed To Have Lived Growing Up and On With That Music. RIH Queen 😍

[@JazzMaestra]

Aretha was one of my favorite pianists!

[@stucker1214]

There still is not one artist that can sing and play as well as Aretha. I'm talking about straight ahead piano playing with complex rhythms,

[@johnclay661]

Shelton Tucker I totally agree with you! She is the Queen and the real deal!!!

[@nitawatson5124]

She was a cold piece!!!! OMG...I miss her so already. RIH Queen.

[@amarykacem1392]

Agreed

[@Sttephy30]

Legend. She's old but still talented and true to her artistry.

[@robjoyce9531]

Still a force of nature. Go, Aretha!

[@jdfleischhacker1373]

I dare you to NOT stomp your feet when you listen to this wonderful lady sing this song.

[@normaj.3305]

So rue, I'm stomping my feet and tearing up as I watch this, love how she is improvising and really "tearing up" the keys.

[@colorpurple4623]

They couldn't even if they tried

[@calvinhill9363]

She played and song until she couldn't, what a trooper, fought until she couldn't.

[@QueenJooseLaMonica]

[@gigiduhermoine890]

Before anyone says anything about Aretha ... She was fighting Cancer. Most cowards would have stayed at home and wrecked their health...or felt sorry for themselves...! Her last public performance was for Elton John last fall...God was with her and he gave her the ability to Fight and out live most Pancreatic Cancer victim's..From 2010 to August 16,2018 is a heck of a battle..Love and miss you Ms.Franklin...

[@relettataylor2741]

[@arlenelangford4503]

My stepdad introduced me to Aretha's music 40 years ago & I just fell in love with her until this day "Shine on my Queen"

[@danielsims996]

Just because of Aretha Franklin, I and so many thousands of others everywhere have been, entertained, encouraged, enlightened, even led to the Lord. I will stand with her most loyal fans, until my last breath....And if God wils it , one day I will hear her sing in heaven.

[@MartinRiosIII]

🎹❤️🎵My Lord just listen to the sounds coming out of that piano! The way she’s playing so gracefully!! I imagine that’s what Heaven sounds like!! [it sounds like] Like Aretha touching the clouds up in Heaven on a bright summer Day!! 🌞 ❤️🎵❤️🎵❤️🎵

[@teebaby4000]

Wow what a great pianists and she still could sing. I am truly going to miss this greatness.

[@joannecook7144]

Aretha is the Best!!!!!

[@Onlythetruth247]

That voice.. like silk.. even in 2017!!! LOVE ARETHA!!!!!!!

[@lutherwilliams8429]

Aretha will go down in history as THE GREATEST SINGER OF ALL TIME!!!!:)

[@charlescharles9625]

First heard this in the early 1970s, has always been my Aretha favorite. Also, take a listen to the Switzerland 1971 version.

[@marie3548]

R.I.P. Queeen I heard she was self taught to play the piano U go girl.

[@karenturner7674]

She grew up watching all types of Music Legends Including Charlie Parker, Coltran , Ray Charles and of course her church musicians ; then days ppl played by ear👂🎹

[@monicabella7894]

[@adamribs6470]

Sheroderick Johnson U know it, she knew her craft...

[@nashantastanley3261]

No half-stepping...!!! THAT'S REAL TALENT!!🤗

[@BMWClassicStitch]

Aretha Franklin was a woman of class, dignity, style, and grace. Her art cannot be compared with no other person. She was able to go through the hardships of being black and a female and still be a lady, the queen, and didn't need to compete to be original in her performances or presentations !

[@barbarellagb]

visiting Aretha vids on Aug 16, 2021. Gone 3 years. RIP Queen!

[@sheilapalmer224]

All those people I’ve known in my lifetime (70+) so many good artist, pavarotti, maria callas to many to mention.. I enjoyed all their songs. I have been a great fan of Aretha her music all my life and I’ve watched her whole funeral service. When it’s my time I’m sure they’ll all be there, I’d be so happy 😊

To me aretha lives and she is still around with her unique voice and cheeky manner, she still dominates the music scene, and you know I’m very pleased I have been around for all of her career and she was my dr feel good many a times. She brought tears to my eyes wherever I was at times, nobody else could do that to me, uncanny to know someone that has that ability and I loved her for it and still do. When i desparu as the french so wonderful call it, i will be in the waiting room greatest of company. I’m excited about that.

[@majorboyce8103]

I am so missing Lady soul. But watching her struggle to sing watching her sit to sing watching her have trouble walking and standing and sometimes her balance was off her passing just confirmed what a lot of us fans knew all along but didn't want to believe is that she was seriously ill. Old school saints will get a report from a doctor on this earth but believe Dr. Jesus says something else. I'm missing the number 1 Lady but also glad she's at rest now. God bless this sweet Angel.

[@ericlthomassr724]

She will always be my Queen. She is wearing that piano out, Cancer or not.

[@drebell2223]

A queen she is.. may u rest in heavenly PEACE.. how many times have u heard this new artist/lypSINGERS ask the band director, "what key"?? none
