I've always liked this version. I've had it on tape since 1974. It's only recently that I've found it on YouTube. Thanks for that.

I think the orchestration is superb.

Aretha is "Soul's; 'Miss Perfect Pitch' (Jazz's Sarah Vaughan) her phrasing too is superb and makes this rather bland song worth a listen.

Thanks for your comments!

WITH EVERYTHING I FEEL... is the one album that I did not have as a child,

Hey this is a very difficult version to find anywhere and I thank you for sharing. Would you please consider uploading Aretha's version (from the same LP) of "You'll Never Get to Heaven if You Break My Heart." Again many thanks

@TheStreakedWall, Aretha was one of the voices of the Civil Rights Movement. She has sang for three presidents that I know of; Carter, Clinton and Obama and was even award the Presidential Metal of Freedom by George W. Bush. She is listed by Roll Stone as the best singer of the Rock and Roll era and the 9th most important artist overall. She has written million selling hits and when you listen to her songs, please know that its her you hear playing the piano and she belts out a tone.

@TheStreakedWall, You have the Aretha Franklin from the 70's who sung with such passion, conviction and sensuality in songs such as Day Dreaming, MacArthur Park and Oh Me Oh My that she continuously amazed her audiences leaving them wondering what she would do next. You have the Aretha Franklin in the 80's who could lend her voice to pop mush such as Freeway of Love and Hold On I'm Coming and turn them into Grammy Winning hits.

[sibun7]

@TheStreakedWall, Aretha has 38 studio albums/CDs. I do not believe there is just one best song by Aretha. Infact, my favorite song changes almost on a weekly basis. You have the Aretha from Columbia Records who had UNMATCHED control of her voice in songs such as Skylark and People. You have the Aretha Franklin from the late 60's who could sing songs such as As Good To Me and Come Back Baby almost in there ENTIRETY in her upper range.

I love Aretha Franklin!!!!!

[TheQueenAretha]

@TheStreakedWall Really Labelle?! I ain't even gonna go there ,and you talk about self-indulgent noise!

[TheStreakedWall]

This sounds like a lot of self-indulgent noise. WAY too much reverb...I'm gonna need to go listen to Marvin Gaye's "Save The Children" or LaBelle's "Lady Marmalade" just to cleanse the palate after this...
