    That song was Aretha's signature song when I was in Vietnam in 1968. No matter what type of day we had, the brothas took notice when this song came on the radio. it just changed our mood,

    If Celine Dion can enjoy a run in Vegas, Morgan should be right there as well. Goddamn, what a voice.

    Of course Morgan once again displays one of the purest voices of all-time, but this kid on the keys has some major talent as well. He has an amazing touch and phrasing for someone so young.

    The restraint and precision of this intimate arrangement is absolutely haunting. Morgan always surrounds herself with the best talent - such angelic harmonies. It only takes one quiet piano to fill the room. Another fine performance from one of the great voices of our time.

    I forgot Aretha sang this; the version I am used to was by Dionne Warwick. However, we're all in agreement on one thing: Morgan absolutely nailed it!

    One more thing I truly like in her performances is the fact that it is very obvious she could do those ’without the net stunts’ with her voice all through the song. Instead her singing honours the song and lyrics and she has a very sophisticated way of control. Like the difference with good cooks and food artists. I can enjoy the song and not only excellent singing. ❤
