I love this Song because the album Amazing Grace is pure gospel joy. It’s really haunting and beautiful, and she sounds the best. This is her most vulnerable performance, because I think she’s singing to God and singing in front of her dad who she’s quite scared of. There’s something about the nervousness and vulnerability that got me from the record, but when you watch the film, you can see how crazy it is.

It’s in this Baptist Church in California with Mick Jagger, who must be in his early 20s, with Charlie Watts at the back. The gospel choir are wearing sequin waistcoats with amazing 70’s specs, singing quite out of tune but very, very passionately. Aretha comes up and she looks beautiful, and she’s so exposed in this song, as she is pleading to God.

BEST FIT: You seem to really lean into songs that are vulnerable and intimate performances

I’m pleased you pointed that out because I’ve never really thought about that. It definitely is with certain artists, there’s always an emotional depth that I love. When I perform live, I try not to think of the crowd being a blob that I’m performing to. I try to make it as intimate as I can in my head.
