I absolutely adore Aretha and I think this is her finest live performance. She had less than 30 minutes to prepare for singing one of Puccini's masterpieces. I love how she made it her own at the end. How ironic that she has the same cancer that took the life of the man who made this aria his trademark and also my Mom who loved this piece so much we played it at her funeral. |

This piece is my favorite as sung by Pavarotti (my parrot, Rico, swoons over it and sings along  ... he has a not too good voice). I wept when he died. My net access skips due to loading problems, but I will listen at another time - carefully. She's not classically trained, Aretha, but in such a short time to prepare, well, even if she were an opera diva, dang! that ending still brought gooseflesh

for my sister, Dolores
This was my sister's favorite Aretha song. We even went to hear a live performance ... twice ... long drive and all. May you sing this with the angels, Dolo.
