I spend all day listening to music on youtube, flitting from whim to whim, but after listening to this, I find it impossible to think of anything else to play.
Ain't nothin like hearin the pipes of the GREAT Aretha Franklin... there's a reason why "Rolling Stone" magazine coined her as the greatest singer/vocalist of all-time and also why another magazine referenced her voice as "A natural resource". But when you hear her sing classics like this, there's no reason to question any of my previous praises of the "Queen of Soul".
Thank you so much. This is so beautiful. This is my favorite song by Re-Re and it stills brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear. The studio version awesone. Nice work!!!!
This reminds me of my late GREAT GRANDFATHER,we used to sing along to it and he taught me so many things which I still carry out today not only as a young woman but also as a mother,sister,daughter and wife.I miss him everyday but i know he is with me always and forever more.xoxo
@sinakat I watched the movie today and it is the same reason that I am here also. I played that part of the movie over and over again just to hear the song.
There are times when music speaks for us rather than to us. This song, this artist are speaking for us and this I believe is where the power of this record lies.
When I listen to the organ in this song something happens in my soul, and when I hear Aretha's voice my spirit soars. Why can't people get back to making this type of music? The world NEEDS THIS

i LOVE THIS SONG IT GAVE SO MANY OF US PEACE, THIS WAS ONE OF MY MOMS FAVORITE CUTS BY ARETHA, THANK YOU MS. FRANKLIN FOR THE YEARS OF BEAUTIFUL MUSIC THAT YOU GAVE US.
It's gorgeous and I'm sure Simon is completely proud of his creation being interpreted just as he wanted it to be originally. Funnily, I found out about this version thanks to Glee. :V
