People forget that Aretha was a damn good pianist. That's why she could ad lib such crazy runs and always stay with the harmony and never lose the melody. Easier said than done. She was a complete musician.

People tend to forget just how masterful Ms. Franklin is on the keys. She is KILLING that piano. I love ya 👑❤️

You can always tell when a singer was born in the church
there is a sound that is different in the music (anointing)
R.I.P Ms.Areatha Franklin.#Queenofsoul

Elton John said Aretha was greatly unappreciated as a pianist and this is going from the piano man

[misterjack]

Hear what she said.."Whitney was one of the finest young singers to ever step in front of a microphone"

[alexanderhughes]

Even Aretha playing the piano is "soulful". She is the absolute epitome of SOUL.

Now they sing together in heavens choir.. rip Aretha

This woman can make any damn song her own. People think her voice (especially in her younger days) is her most greatest gift, but I also think it's her ability to rearrange music.

[cadenbrigstocke]

Amazing. She uses the melody of “Greatest Love of All” on the piano to “I Will Always Love You.” So creative and spectacular sound.

This was not a good idea, watching this video before going to work. Man tears are rolling like Aretha was my favorite aunt. God Bless you Aretha, thank you for the beautiful music that will live on forever. Queen take your rest ❤️😢.

This has just broke my heart ...heaven has gained another angel 💔💔💔

Another rare diamond gone too soon. R.I.P two beautiful angels

[Irishgirl]

Wow…I never know Aretha paid tribute to Whitney…in this way. Beautiful. May those two those rare voices rest in peace.

One of the finest young singers to ever step in front of the microphone 🎤
Here in 2024, you can still acknowledge the same. Whitney Houston ❤

I could listen to Aretha just play piano all day. Wouldn’t even have to sing a note. So beautiful.

[robjoyce]

I was in the audience at Radio City Music Hall that night. One of the great musical moments of all time. Aretha is so genuine and so passionate and her backup singers made the experience more authentic and wonderful. Pure magic. We are so lucky to have Aretha in our lives.

[lvdiamond]

Rest in Peace to Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin. You are both my all time favorite singers. Teary eyed.

Amy Winehouse standing there with Whitney was so befitting. These artist voices were so powerful and unforgettable. Whitney, Amy, Aretha, Luther to name a few. They came to this earth to bless us with their voices.

[Neonlike]

How classy and respectful of her to do this tribute - her playing piano just makes it extra special. RIP Whitney, we miss you.

A rare performance...We have been truly blessed to live in an era of Whitney and Aretha. Their music will linger on forever...
