_egas calybird the Bible was a book written by a council of men who also dictated the laws of Europe in the Middle Ages. Thank God for science because without them, the Catholic Church would probably ban technology like the internet and you couldn’t watch KZread today. The reason for all of these technology and diversity in society is because the church is dying. A long time ago, churches didn’t want their parishioners to interact with people of different race, nationality or religion.

@_egas calybird many things were taken out of the Bible under Constantines rule many years ago. Though the scripture is inspired, it has been tampered with. Loom up the Nag Hammadi scriptures on Google and the Reluctant Messenger. Jesus is talking about immortality and reincarnation being the truth. The Bible is not to be understood literally anyway. It is to be understood metaphtsically. Do you really think Jonah was in the belly of a whale and lived to tell about it? Look up the 2 references I gave you and do not take my word for it.

In my listening, the intricate chorus, the interplay of the singers and their shifting in roles, is the most brilliant part of Aretha's version of I Say a Little Prayer. I am spellbound by the genius of it every single time I listen!

Pope Of Atheism in her prime she was the best female singer ever! And she always will be! I put only Whitney in the same level! Everyone with ears knows that! Aretha is one and only!

Aretha is one beautiful woman. Naturally beautiful!
OMG! This song was sung 50 YEARS ago and it's S*T*I*L*L so HELLA STRONG today in 2020! Thank you Queen Aretha for the power & of course the SOUL you put into your music! It gives me chills to hear your voice! It makes me feel so alive! Thank you for being so damn GOOD!
If I ever feel a bit fed up, I watch this performance and soon have a smile on my face! Just astonishing, God blessed this woman with such an amazing talent, her range, her timing and phrasing is incredible, and she is beautiful.
Such a beautiful person inside and out. Her talent will never be matched by anyone.
One of the greatest singers in history. My mom showed me this when I was very young, and I only got back to her music too late...rest in peace, Aretha Franklin.

I don't know how old you are but try looking the MANY beautiful songs by Hal David & the GREAT Mr. Burt Bacharach, great stuff!!!!
Omg! That voice.....Oh man, we're really gonna miss you. Thanks for the wonderful music! Sleep in heavenly peace.
The only problem with this version is that I can't listen to the record anymore! This is so, so much better. Her timing and use of words as an instrument are on a completely different level. Perfection.
I just love the way she moves, man.
Now I understand why mariah has always said she felt like a background singer next to her

Just watched this performance for the first time. For years, I had always been hearing people say that Aretha had one of the best voices in music, now I know why. Rest in Peace Aretha.
The Perfection of vocal technics
2:03.. Tears fill my eyes, because it feels like she is singing to me personally, she is so genuine in her performance, looking into the camera like the woman that loves you truly and deeply would be looking at you. You can see it in Aretha's eyes how kind and pure of a woman she was, and how profoundly she was able to love her man.
THE greatest Female vocalist of all time and that’s that. Streisand is great but Franklin was, is an always will be the chairwoman of the board. Simply peerless, on a plain all of her own

This is how it's done! A truly LIVE performance. LIVE band, LIVE backing singers and LIVE lead vocal. NO auto tune, NO dancers, NO fireworks or other gimmicks.
Come on Aretha 🔥🔥🔥 June 2022 and still a classic
Eu aqui em 2023 no Brasil curtindo Aretha Franklin, grande artista. Diva com talento genuíno ❤
