Aretha Franklin - Rolling in the Deep / Ain't No Mountain Live Adele Cover Version

Live Auftritt in der David Lettermann Show

[earl]

Having a legend like Aretha cover Rolling in the Deep must have been a huge honor for Adele.

[savetheplanet]

Imagine being 21 year old Adele in 2009, writing this song thinking that one day, ARETHA FRANKLIN would be singing it as though she’d written it herself 50 years ago

Cissy Houston in the background had me dying!!! so much sass

[thabisomarumoloa]

I love how she makes it totally an Aretha Song....love it love it love it

[MrJumpnofear]

Okay, so we have some you tubers here saying that she sounds awful. I'm sorry, last time I checked the woman is in her 70s. She is a legend. Loved her version. She wasn't trying to be Adele. She was being Aretha. Loved it.

[charliest.dennis]

For those who don’t know, behind her is legendary background singer and mother of Whitney, Cissy Houston.

[LeroySanchez]

I’m so mad I just found this… 7 years later

[Sarni]

I bet Adele almost died when this absolute legend sang her song . You don't get validated better than when the Queen of awesome sings your song .

Aretha did her thang!...that run at 3:24🔥...SHE WAS IN HER 70s

[Sylvianaleontien]

I feel sorry for a lot of people here leaving comments about that old lady singing background for aretha. That is Miss Cissy Houston! Mother of Whitney Houston. Won grammy's and sang background for Elvis, Aretha and many more. The woman is in het 80thies. Now your shit! Or shut up. She was a vocal powerhouse! Dont you people forget that. Even af her age she can outsing many lipsincing stars today!

[matmatteo]

She was 72...you can hear that her voice takes a little to warm up, but after a minute It's like she was still in her 30s. she was absolutely amazing

[billdiamondvet]

I had the privilege to be in the audience for one of her performances about a year before she passed. Long show, few breaks and not a dry eye in the house. Her extraordinary skill, her bond with her audience was and is unsurpassed.

[debbieharper]

RIP to the Queen of Soul. It feels like the end of an era. You will be missed

[merqury]

That a force of nature right there. She was Freddie Mercurys idol, thats setting the bar!

[taytolson]

That run she does at 3:25 will be studied 100 years from now by the greatest vocalist and coaches

[Elsagwene]

She's singing Adele's cover like this now 🤯 But can you imagine her singing this in her prime?!!?! My goodness. I would be absolutely FLOORED. 😩💜

[jaclynnreynolds]

Cissy Houston in the background. damn.Legends and friends.

[LanaDelTaco]

Ok, but the transition from Rolling In The Deep to Ain't No Mountain High Enough was so seamless, I almost didn't recognize the difference.

[Josh-eroz]

She could SANG in her 70’s 😭 truly the greatest artists of all time

[_observado]

This version will always be great, the energy
