  • I was listening to pandora and this song came on, I haven't heard it in a while so I favored it and put it on repeat till my 6 year old knew the song by heart, just passing on the real r & b soul music

  • On this date in 1967 {Mar. 4th} "Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You)" entered Billboard's Top 100 chart; eventually it would peaked at #9 spent 11 weeks in the Top 100...

    Ranked 75th on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 Singles of 1967 chart...

    Reached #1 on Billboard's R&B chart...

    Her 1st relased on the Atlantic label...

    The 1st in a string of 3 straight records by Ms. Franklin to make the Top 10; started with this one, then "Respect" {#1}, and finally "Baby I Love You" {#4}...

  • beautiful song,love all her songs.

  • Major Pain!! lol

  • This song is ridiculous!

  • i love u baby

  • Dan Penn

  • Rod Hicks Ampeg fretless bass the best electric bass player until Jaco burst upon the scene...listen to the 1968 live version, he also played for Saint Ray Charles...on his Love Country Style album go listen to the bass on those tracks...he then joined the Butterfield Blues Band and I got to know him some and wonder at his bass playing he just flew over that neck played everything you could possibly hear in a given tune. Butterfield always told me playing harp follow the bass, he followed Rod!

  • man,or men watch them,they are like A car battery,handle with care,can help to drive somewhere,or to infinitive,can explode an kill you,can hurt for sure,understand a battery actitivities,an its result luvya

    

  • I'm born in 1993 and i love this song ahah ! strange

  • @Rstyle03 Luckily, is not so strange, because I was born in the same year and I also love this song ;)

  • @Rstyle03 Who the fuck cares when you were born? Great music is eternal as long it's recorded. Come on man you're 19 yo, stop thinking like a 13 yo boy who had his first bonner on music.

  • @AtropaLP oh calme down ! it's because my friends don't listen this kind of music ( i'm belgian so in Belgium music is very very boring ! ) and there are no many 19 girls in Belgium who know Aretha and her music !

  • Major Payne: "Look woman! Now I done taught eleven seperate engagements and I didn't do all that to come back here and get conquered by a woman and a bunch of kids! What you really think I was gone do MARRY YOU, PUT UP A WHITE PICKET FENCE, OR ADOPT TIGER AND BECOME THE LOVING MALE ROLE MODEL? That's not me! That's not PAYNE"...........Then the song starts at 0:00!! I love this song by Aretha by the way!

  • @DJLMovieGuy ahahahaha this where i remember this song from when i was kid ahaha

  • @laoister1 LOL I love that movie and I remember watching this with my father when I was little and he was laughing when this song came on after Major Payne said that!!!

  • i love this song. it holds so much significance to me and my situation... really hits home.

  • I hope you'll accept my video response =)

  • One of her best!!! And believe this...no one will try to copy this. You cant, as with so many of her tunes!! Go girl!!

  • When Soul was tough. One mother of a bass line and two drummers at the end.

  • I can relate to this song I was situation just like what she is talking about I was in love with a man that did not love me the way that I love him

  • She has always been my inspiration

  • Wooooooooooo! Yes!

    

  • I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER!!!

  • the beat alone gives me chills!

  • Every woman has had a man like this, lol

  • She earned the name "Queen of Soul" rightfully so..this one has that soulful-bluesy sound..one of her best!!!!!

  • I came here because I've seen "The Commitments" just recently.

    Maria Kennedy Doyle is doing a fantastic job covering this amazing song.

    Aretha just blows me away...this song comes with so much power and yet emotion....almost too good to be true...

    However, you should not miss checking out Maria Kennedy Doyle's version of this song!

  • she doesnt sing SHE SANGS! i love this song and the Queen of soul, what a great talent

  • @babygirl91580 You can say that again, i grew up with her music,and always knew she was the most gifted singer in the world.When i die, i want her music at my funeral.

  • great singer !

  • "

    Otis Redding himself said it better than anybody before or since: “That girl done stole my song.” Actually, he could have gone further: The Muscle Shoals all-stars who drove the getaway car had taken the song clean before Aretha even opens her mouth —" more at emusic (dot) com (covers that beat the originals)

  • @CommentsSurvey Are you sure you're not thinking of Respect?

  • priceless and timeless classic. 

  • 4 people dont like soul music

    LOVE this song!!!! xxxxx

  • This is good, but the Roxette unplugged version is better.

  • @dtz1000 ORIGINAL...is always the best #winning

  • @MRiGOThim You can make such a statement only after you have heard the Roxette version. You don't say if you have heard it or not so i assume you never bothered.

  • @dtz1000 Roxette will always be SECOND best when it comes to a legend...AUNT ARETHA!!!

  • @dtz1000 OK...now i'm mad...you had me WASTIN 5 minutes of my life listening to this RASPY HERMIT THE FROG SOUNDING EMO LOOKING WITCH...ARETHA is a LEGEND...THATS WHY I'VE NEVER HEARD OF roxette worst rendition EVER...:( #FAIL

  • @MRiGOThim LOL. So you admit it. You never watched the Roxette version before your previous outbursts against it. You are too biased and will never be a good judge. I blame the media. Total brainwashed buffoon who judges something without listening to it first.

  • @dtz1000 RIGHT...i didn't have to...when the first person sings a song i feel that it should be that way because they've branded it or put a stamp to it. Roxette is vocally talented but not for this song:)

  • @MRiGOThim Not for this song, eh? I wonder what it was about the lead singer of Roxette that made you say she is not for this song.

  • @dtz1000 : LOLLL! You hit the nail(s) on the head... what a way with words! Perfect! Thanks for the laugh; I needed that!

  • Every women has a weakness for one man, wether they know it or not.

  • @TheBaileyjeanne u maybe right hon. Hate to say it and I am very strong minded at that

  • The first #1 hit on the Rhythm & Blues charts for the woman who would later become known as The Queen of Soul. It was also the 157th #1 R&B song of the Rock Era. It also hit #9 on the Top 40 charts.

  • Thank you to all Africans-Americans for your Soulfull Music. It changed my life!

  • @Yesitdid And I'd like to thank all the Chinese -Americans for your food. It changed my waistline for life. You Sir are a douchebag!

  • @Yesitdid lol!! Your Welcome Buddy LMFAO

  • Major Pain? yep.lol GREAT SONG.

  • wow how i love this song and im feeling it it so true honey

  • You made a very nice video for a great song! Super!

  • for people never loved a man the way i love you ;)

  • THIS IS ONE OF THE HANDFUL OF GREAT LOVES SONGS OF ALL TIMES- THE LYRICS , THE TUNE AND THE SINGER IN A PERFECT BLEND THAT WILL BE LISTENED TO IN THE YEAR 5011 IF HUMANITY STILL KNOWS MUSIC AND STILL LOVES.

  • go Aretha gooooo! omygosh I think I love her ...

  • Haha. i remembered this song from the movie Major Payne (: Lol

  • i LOVE the aerosmith version!

  • @tamerswan IT WAS HOT!! SHE WAS HOT!! IT WAS SO HOT, I WAS SWEATIN', SHE DID THIS FOR ME, AND IT WASN'T MY BIRTHDAY OR ANY SPECIAL OCCASION, THAT'S WHAT MADE IT EVEN MORE SPECIAL. I'M 52 YRS. OLD, AND I'VE ALWAYS WANTED A WOMAN TO SIT ME DOWN AND SING THIS SONG TO ME SINCE I FIRST HEARD IT IN THE 60'S, WELL I CAN CHECK THAT OFF MY "BUCKET LIST". AND I DID A "LOT" MORE THAN JUST "SPANK" HER, im just sayin...

  • song for all the sh***y men in the world

  • "Love Hurts" especially when both do not know they feel the same way about each other!!!!!!

  • I have never loved a man like I love you ..

    OMG is that so true.. love hurts..

  • @tamerswan  Actually no.. when its good its great

    But at times when its bad it hurts..

  • Love hurts.............

  • man this song is how im feeling right now!! she is definitely is the TRUTH!! her songs hit your soul!!! i love this song!!

  • this is my shit

  • This lady is IT and that's that!!!!

  • YOU HAVE NOT LIVED UNTIL YOU'VE HAD A WOMAN SIT YOU DOWN, LOOK YOU IN THE EYES AND SING THIS SONG TO YOU. "SPANKY"...I will never forget it.

  • Great song in 9/8

  • Great images for this amazing song and woman!

  • Curtsy and bow...

  • luv it, luv it, luv it. Ms Kitty and the HOly angels -- this is singing.

  • This... Right Here... Is My... SONG!!

  • @bornthug213 it was mine a couple of years ago. You should listen more to "think" and "respect". It feels so good to be just yourself, free of a man/woman that treats you bad and doesn't deserve you.

  • I could listen to this song forever

  • Amazing. <3

  • i pray she stays around for many more years cuz she is my idol aside from etta james...just the gr8st!!

  • @NEOSHABABI Agreed...she's one of the best singers the world has ever produced ♥♥

  • she is soo pretty

  • Doesn't matter how sad any of her songs may be, they always make me smile.

  • I love her, she is in my heart.

  • Thanks for posting this, especially the lyrics. Most of us have been there!

  • Im really really in love with this song.

  • areatha's battling cancer...pray for her...

  • OMG....I've always adored her...As Rolling Stone says...She's the number one singer in history....God bless her in her fight against pancreatic cancer.

  • I hope i never again have to experience the kind of feelings Aretha describes so painfully in this song. But for anyone who's ever been "there" she nails it!

  • Steven Tyler owns this song

  • @JordanSphilner

    Wowy, I bet he does it total justice!!...I'd love to hear him sing it.

  • The Queen

  • she cant sing,but the queen can damn sure SANG!!! lmmfao I wonder what would happen if this was played at a bar...all the drunks would breakout into tears

  • TESTIFY !!!! I ALWAYS HEARD SHE WAS THE QUEEN OF SOUL. BUT I NEVER REALLY TOOK THE TIME TO LISTEN TO HER.NOW THAT I HAVE.ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW. IS THERE ANY RANK HIGHER THAN QUEEN? MAYBE ABSOLUTE RULER !

    SHE TWO THUMBS UP PLUS MY TOES CURLED UP AWARD

  • mm,she betta sing 

  • ... and that little bit of Steve Cropper guitar in the middle.

    Lady Aretha rules!

  • For me,nobody can sing that song like Aretha did,!!

  • i love this song. !

  • She Keeps It Real Man Love Her(:

    SiNG iT GURL!!

  • this woman always kills....

  • CLASSIC!!!!!!!

  • you know its a shame. the fatter Aretha got the more outrageous & ugly her outfits got. evidence of an insecurity complex if ever there were.

  • @SUPREMEQUEEN09 what? that is so incredibly superficial.... seriously i dont care waht an artist wears or looks like , unless their sluts and give off a shitty image. Aretha is pretty awesome

  • This is pure, sweet soul.. None better..

  • She Had it Right Then....She Sing With Such Soul... I can Feel Her pain....

  • this makes me wanna hear the blues......but youtube doesnt have any of them in here...

  • i wish this ould work ughhh

  • where are the people of the blues?

  • I heard this track for the first time when I was 15 yrs old listening to an atlantic stax album. I love the rythm and blues of this song and with the queen of soul vocals whats there to say Classic.

  • She's Beautiful x 1000000

  • Killer Groove. White southerners. Who would have thunk it.

  • @Bluesdirections why not? whites down here have soul too. we were just as poor, especially after the war. listen to johnny cash, elvis, jerry lee lewis. granted we didn't have things as bad as african americans did, i would never even fix my mouth to say that. but i think that hard times affected everyone down here.

  • @tranurse I never doubted that. If I have said something that offends I apologise. I agree with your contention that feeling is not restricted by racial lines. A favourite singer of mine is Toni Childs and I can hear her over and over again. Wayne Cochran is another singer that I liked to hear because he sang from the heart. Once again if I have offended I am sorry.

  • @Bluesdirections you didn't offend me. my husband has said before that things b/n blacks and whites weren't as bad until we stopped listening to each others music. he grew up in the 60's and 70's,so maybe he has a different perspective. but it makes sense. you didn't offend me. don't worry about that.

  • @tranurse It occurs to me that the backing band - if it's the usual suspects from Memphis - would have been mixed. That guitar-player for example, I am sure, is Steve "The Colonel" Cropper.

  • @CinnAlla yes it is

  • @CollegeBoyzEnt

    Actually it isn't, it's either Jimmy Johnson or Chips Moman. I was wrong. I found the musicians listed on a different website (YouTube won't let me post the link).

  • All I can say is "WOW"

  • Why are most of Aretha's songs about men who treat her bad? (Chain of Fools, Respect, I never loved a man)

  • @MrMet2433 just lets u know like most women she's been through some things. and all the songs are not about being treated wrong (dr feelgood) but u gotta admit if u r never hurt u can't sing the blues with such malice and feelings and most importantly the soul that only Aretha has............

  • So good!

  • Second drummer enters towards the end. Two drummers !

  • This song stays in your head forever! Man or woman .... it's spot on x

  • omg!!! that woman was born to sing i love aretha 4 eva

  • The story I heard was that she recorded this with a bunch of country-oriented session musicians who had gotten drunk and started to argue during the recording session. By the time they finished this record, they were ready to kill each other so they had to disband the session and the rest of the album was delayed by 6 months. What a great record though, the best of her career and one of the greatest 45s of all time.

  • exhange man for woman and i'm lovin it

  • beautiful baby

  • yep

  • love this song :)
