Donnie Simpson was such a great interviewer. So respectful. I loved watching his show when he was on BET. Yes

You could tell she enjoyed Donnie's company. He and Sherri Carter have always stuck out to me as probably the more affable show hosts from the "Video Soul" era on BET.

This Interview is the best interview with Aretha

Donnie Simpson was a great interviewer. He put everyone at ease. And this video reminds me that Aretha's piano skills were as on point as her voice was but no one talks about it cuz she kept slaying us with dem pipes in her throat!

So very well!

Absolutely beautiful 😭

Aries women. It's all in the eyes. The sighs, tone and infection of the voice. Very coy and senusal but always in control and aware of what they are doing and its effect. Go Ms. Aretha. 🤫💕

Aretha, was so down the earth .

I just love this interview. 😊💙👍

Great interview indeed. Aretha is so pleasant and charming here. Really enjoyed this.

Wow she gave honor and credit to Cissy Houston👑🎤🎶🎹🎻🎷🎺💯💓💓

Heaven. Need you now. Aretha L Franklin. The QUEEN of Soul Miss Aretha L Franklin.

She's smart and regular, and not full of herself regardless of such extensive success and so many accolades! She's just so real!

I love Aretha just a beautiful soul!!

This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen of her. She was so charming, no edge or anything. Funny and their chemistry is perfect. Is it Cissy or is it memorex lol?? Aretha clearly liked Donnie. I've never seen her like this. Just wow.

THIS is sheer gold!!! Wow! Aretha 💕🌹

Queen Aretha

aretha was a great person

Sing Ree!!

Now people can stop guessing and giving wrong information as to who was the soprano singing background of "Ain't No Way". Aretha franklin said it herself it was Cissy Houston
