I thought there was something wrong with the audio, then I remembered this was back when they had actual stereo separation between lead/back up and different instruments.
@Magicprincess9000 Actually back in the early 80's i remember Mrs. Franklin on some tv show dressing VERY skimpy.(and this was when she was at her largest and her hair was blonde at that time).....i'm just saying
Thank You for memories.. i was a young lad...What was Black or White...who cared ... we where all the same. Don't teach crap and you will not get crap
The female Elvis: Gigantic singer, unmistakable voice, can sing anything and it'll be great, single-handly popularized a whole genre, stands for "soul", most successful female and black US-Single- and Album-Charts-artist, inspired generations of female singers in singing and performance.
@hiiwasieni this is not a good thing to say. i know its not hateful but i think you should rethink the reasons for not being racist. A racist white person can still enjoy the music sung by a black woman.
"....to the bone..." You said it Sister Ree, way back when.....How is it I am 46 and just now, getting that lyric? You're gifts go on.....be proud girl.
Another #1 hit for the future Queen of Soul on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 179th #1 R&B song of the Rock Era. It also hit #7 on the Top 40 charts and #26 in the United Kingdom. And R&B music was hot. You felt something when a song like this was played.
There is only one Aretha Franklin. And the future will NEVER see another like her.Thank God I was here to see and hear that Most Unbelievable and Powerfull Voice.
This is the original version....not that lame...pop-music version that was in the Blues Brothers Movie. This one has the soul that just cuts like a knife. There's only one Aretha...the undisputed Queen of Soul!
I remember this from 1968, then loved the version from the Blues Brothers movie...but replaying the original, it's even better at this tempo. Also, the instrumentation is stronger here than the movie version. Love it!!

The singer who made melisma popular, with the vocal range, power, and technique to back up her claim of being THE QUEEN.
Aretha was, is, and will always be one of the worlds best singers.
