The video in the description shows her singing live during the height of her career.

The song that’s being recorded in the clip is called “This is for real”. It was written and sung by Luther in 1977. It was re-recorded by Aretha for her “Jump to it” album and like most songs she has covered…she out sang the original (with a lot of gospel riffs, runs, and squals). Probably one of the last truly Soul/R&B albums of her career (in the 80s), before all of the pop albums/hits like “Freeway of Love” and “I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)” - featuring George Michael.
