Amazing Grace: Aretha sings

After more than four decades, Aretha Franklin fans can finally see the concert she gave in 1972 at the New Bethel Baptist Church in Los Angeles. The two-night concert was well worth waiting for.

You won't hear "Respect," "I Say a Little Prayer," "A Natural Woman," or any of the hit songs she'd already made famous. This concert served as the recording for her album, "Amazing Grace," which became the best-selling gospel music album of all time.

Even if you're not a diehard gospel fan, you'll recognize some of the songs, including "You've Got A Friend," "My Sweet Lord," and, of course, her heart-stopping rendition of "Amazing Grace."
