This is DEFINITELY Aretha Franklin. It's from her VERY early years. This is back when her record label was trying to market her as a jazz and standards singer, because they weren't quite sure what to do with her. She's not singing in what we have come to know as the characteristic Aretha wail. She is singing in the style of Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald who were her idols, hence why she sounds different. Also she was VERY young, so her voice wasn't matured fully. It's definitely Aretha.

I LOVE BOTH PATTI AND ARETHA. BOTH OF THEM SING THIS SONG BEAUTIFULLY IN THEIR OWN VOICE. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ARETHA SANG IT UNTIL LISTENING TO PATTI AND THEN WONDERING TO MY SELF THAT IT WOULD BE COOL IF ARETHA SANG THIS TOO-SO I YOUTUBED IT, AND HERE I AM. JUST WONDERFUL!!!

Of course SHE IS ! from the CD called "The Great Aretha Franklin. The first 12 Sides", I have it ! She was 18 when she cut her first pop sides on August 1, 1960. This is the one album of Aretha's thaT has the feeling of jazz improvisation.

Yes Ms Franklin ... Take me to that Rainbow !!! I have never heard her singing this song !!! It's Hottt!!!

This is a very young Aretha, doing what she does best and that's giving a song what it needs while respecting the melody and the meaning of the lyrics.. I really think people need to revisit her Columbia Records catalog. You will be surprised how many great songs and LP's she did before Atlantic!

this is ARETHA HANDS DOWN. This sounds NOTHING like Patti. People who are making that assumption that its NOT her are used to the new aretha voice but this is how she sounded BEFORE she was the known QUEEN OF SOUL. yes that is her with the clarity and control.
