I always thought this performance was the official music video, never knew The Queen sung it Live. My life is a lie 😭

It almost sounds just like the original, I’m just blown away

There are many reasons Aretha was dubbed the "Queen of magnificent performance is one of them.

This is the performance I always recall when I think of this song. I think not being held back by the studio atmosphere made Aretha shine even more, seeing her not being interrupted by background dancers to take attention away from her.

I remember this footage in 1968. Baby I Love you was on the TV program also.

Wonderful. Imagine being lucky enough to be passing through just as Aretha was to perform this. Anybody know where in NYC this is? Subway station?

[MrYouTubeY]

Wait a minute is that Ed Sullivan? What’s the name of this tv show and why didn’t Aretha ever appear of the Ed Sullivan show, proper if she was literally feet away from him?
