ARETHA FRANKLIN & TOM JONES - SPIRIT IN THE DARK - TV SHOW - 1971

Lyrics

I'm gettin the spirit in the dark
I'm gettin the spirit in the dark
People movin, aw, ain't we groovin?
Just gettin the spirit in the dark.

Tell me sister, how do you feel?
Tell me my brother, brother, brother, how do you feel?
Do you feel like dancin? Then get up and let's start dancin
Start gettin the spirit, spirit in the dark

It's like Sally Walker sittin in a saucer
That's how ya do it, it ain't nothin to it
Rise, Sally, rise, put your hand on your hips
and cover your eyes, and move on with the spirit,
move with the spirit, hey now move, move with the spirit
in the dark

(The remainder of the song is basically refrains of the chorus.)

I got to give it to Tom Jones. He could hang in there with Aretha......not many could when she was at her peak.

Seeing this reminds of my mother......who had a SERIOUS thing about Tom J. You bet NOT get in her way when his show was on :-)

Aretha MY GOD! 1:35 moved through me like a thunderbolt and when she got up ... LORD HAVE MERCY ... I couldn't help but move my feet! Sanctified!!!

[MrAchil68]

Τι φωναρα αδερφε.....τετοιες αναρτησεις αξιζουν....

[DaOrigTruthSeeker]

I am Black and i have a lot of respect for Tom Jones....he is just one heck of a singer. I already knew coming here that Aretha was gonna lay it out....but this man really made me take notice. In my opinion he was a far better singer then Elvis.

The best performance I've seen

In a very long time. Electrifying.

[druhbe1996]

Tom Jones knew the best way to get some SOUL and keep some SOUL In your spirit was to be in touch with " THE REAL DEAL " the QUEEN OF SOUL juiced him up so he could TRANSPORT Some SOUL to the White audience
