  • I associate this song with Baby Washington. Didn't hear Aretha's version until about twenty years ago. A pleasant surprise. Love both versions.

  • I love this version and the one Dusty Springfield did.

  • i think it would be cool if jennifer hudson did a new remake of this...although Aretha #1 original

  • Aretha is just the greatest ever to me......thank you for sharing

  • wow what a cool song ...yeahhh

  • wish i could get this song somewhere

  • Very nice video!

  • was she singing in segegrated area

  • At that time Black artist were allowed to perform their songs on television. But it was very rare, almost unheard of to have Blacks in the audience or used as back-up dancers.

  • zzzxtreme, i dont know if this was segregated but i do know. that aretha once said in the 70's when she was going to do a performance in south africa, that either the crowd be intergrated, or fully black as she wont sing to a fully white crowd, as her people should be able to come to hear her sing. aretha was an activist in her own small way.

  • Aretha has one of the greatest voices ever!

  • She sounds amazing. This must have been when she was on Columbia Records in the early 60's. It seemed like they were trying to turn her into a Dionne Warwick type.

  • This is unusual, rare footage. It's very early in her adult career. The song is obscure, but it's sung with such beauty.

  • Wow, Aretha was so young and cute here :-). Great song!

  • This is great Aretha!

    Thanks for this rare video.

  • The b-side of this record, "One Step Ahead" eventually made the R&B top 20 in the spring of 1965. This was a nice cover of Baby Washington's original.

  • I'm so glad I stumbled upon this great posting. Do you know the name of the album this song is from? It's weird that this song and "One Step Ahead" are great songs from the Columbia years, but I can't find them anywhere.

  • this is a cute song and you can tell it was waaay back n the day!

  • she was so young here, this must be from the columbia days. great footage. how did you find it?

  • the early years...I remember when this aired.

  • Yes, yes, yes!  This is one of my favorite columbia recordings of Aretha. Thanks for posting!

  • hey man were did you find this can i get copy or how do i get a copy

  • Look at my girl! The Queen!!!

  • rare,
