Aretha Franklin - Wholy Holy (Official Audio)

The official audio of "Wholy Holy" by Aretha Franklin with James Cleveland and The Southern California Community Choir from the album 'Amazing Grace' (1972). 'Amazing Grace' earned Aretha a Grammy in 1973 for Best Soul Gospel Performance and remains the best selling Gospel album of all time.

Stay In Touch with the Queen of Soul…

*******************

An icon of 20th and 21st century music, the voice of the civil rights movement, and the undisputed Queen of Soul—there is only one Aretha Franklin. In her incredible six-decade career, Aretha evolved from teenage gospel star to reigning pop and R&B diva, recording classics like “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” “Chain Of Fools”, “Think” (lyrics by Aretha Franklin), definitive versions of the songs “Respect” and “I Say a Little Prayer”, and global hits like “Freeway Of Love,” “I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)”, and “A Rose Is Still A Rose.”

Altogether, 112 of her singles reached the charts, with 20 No. 1 R&B singles, the most ever by a female artist. She won 18 Grammy Awards (including the first eight trophies for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance) and, out of recognition for her for indelible contribution to American music and culture, received both the Presidential Medal of Freedom and a Pulitzer Prize.

Anyone listening to this in 2024….after the debates, I’m feeling sad and hopeless for where we are in this country. God help us…😢♥️🇺🇸

This song kept me during the darkest times of the last 4 years - COVID, Racial Injustice and horrible Politics. I would turn this on and just play it over and over whenever it got to be way too much. This song reminded me to stay hopeful - faithful. My family played it often on Sunday morning when I was a child - I always loved it. And when I needed it most in my adult life, it was there for me - restored me. Music is truly the voice of the divine ❤️. My Lord if we could just come together Wholy Holy 🙏🏽.

I was struggling at my new job a few years ago, the Lord JESUS CHRIST used this song to minister to my soul.

My father played this to me two days before he passed. Such a beautiful song. I'll never forget her beautiful voice. And he must have known he was going to pass. And I'm glad he shared this song with me.

On reflection at 57 years old...we may never see the like of this type of artist again.
Be grateful she lived among us 🌹

Aretha! A true spiritual woman- long before turning secular. This IS a song to pay very close attention to the lyrics!
