@@williegordon9188 That's the mark of an artist. Someone who can convey a feeling and message of a song even written by someone else (Stevie Wonder) and personalize it so much that you don't know if she's singing from a personal view, or someone else. She's a genius. That's all.
Always loved this song. A song with feeling and longing and sentiment. Love the back up singers who get no recognition. Nothing like the vile vulgar crap you hear today. May God take you Aretha into his keeping. Amen and amen.
Whenever i hear this song. It reminds me of the heartbreak i endured and sttill endure as the love of my life dumped me via a phone call. It is a painfull thing to be rejected. I have found love again. So there is hope
Aretha has got a set of pipes unmatched by any of these so-called DIVAS of today!!! She felt no need to be called a DIVA!!! She was, NATURALLY!!! When I have been asked if I had 1 wish, I always have said,"To sing likeARETHA"!!!
+Eric Hernandez I don't quite understand what you are expressing. Yes, the radio stations were mainly white-owned as were the record companies, but black music has been on the radio since I've been alive 1950s until now. Aretha was not the first Black artist to break into commercial radio. Are you trying to say that the artists you named compare or surpass [ her vocally and/or musically? If so, I don't agree (although they are great singers). But you seem to have your time periods mixed up. I am sincerely confused because Ms. Holloway and Ms. Brown, to my understanding, didn't even start recording secular music until the seventies (though Ms. Holloway and Aretha were close in age). Aretha's contemporaries are more like Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle, Tina Turner who all started recording in the late 50's, I almost feel that you're saying Aretha's fame & popularity is because she was being played on the radio when others weren't. That is absolutely not true.
Stevie Wonder wrote it and did a version of his own in the late 60's but they tweaked it a bit as Aretha waled on it & took it to the Top 5 in 1974. Aretha was GREAT!
Also, credit to Mr Stevie Wonder for writing this beauty! To paraphrase him..."Aretha takes your song, and you never get it back!" He meant that with all respect. What a song! Feel the soul in it of 2 great artists!
My father owned a liquor store with a pool room adjacent to it. He had a juke box abd I remembering hearing this song blurring loudly outvof the juke box, it became my favorite of hers, still to this day. Rest Queen ❤
I listened this song in the 1973 Plymouth Fury Fender Skirts, 4 door hardtop. Original and factory fender skirts are popular on 1965, 1966, 1968, 1972, and 1973 Plymouth Fury VIP.
Now this here is music!! I sound like my parents..😅. This song has stayed with me and in my heart for many many years!! Age 54. I dreamed last night I was singing this to an old boyfriend but didn't know the lyrics... lol RIP Aretha ❤
Flawless orchestration Flawless back-up Princesses provide Our Queen the canvas, as she painted this eternal masterpiece. The Star Of Tennessee, she's my forever love.
Friday August 31,2018 We laid to The Queen 👑 Of Soul Ms Althea Louise Franklin her Homegoing was televised it 8hrs long if you didn’t see you should. Thank Queen for sharing your beautiful gift to the world 🌎❤️✊🏾
While my friends were Rockers, i was a Motown fan, and Columbia, Atlantic, and Artisca fan. I have to admit my heart was with the soul and gospel music and always will be.
All these years growing up...I would hear this song the older people would play it...but I never knew who it was singing it.....come to find out it's the Queen of Soul🙄
Live Aretha these 70 songs take me back to my teen years I grew up listening these kind of songs . I remember watching Soul Train and listening to these great 70s tunes. Beautiful songs with meaningful and romantic letters not the vulgarity of today's tunes.
Amazing coincidence or not? The Queen of Soul and the King of Rock and Roll died the same day: August 16. He in 77 and she in 2019. Not to mention it is Madonna's birthday. A milestone date in popular music. Woodstock was happening on this date in 1969 as well. Should be a national holiday, perhaps. This is my favorite Aretha song too! RIP MISS FRANKLIN.
Great musical arrangement and excellent singing by Aretha, one of the all time greats to ever do it, but this song has very strong stalker vibes. Some dude broke up with her and she can't handle the break up. Instead of talking to some girlfriends, or her mother (or father) and find another great guy, she proceeds to go to his house, bang on his door and windows all day until he comes out and talks to her.
I've had this song stuck in my head everyday this week and I'm like damn is it trying to tell me something? Love it and some thank you Chris and Aretha! 😆😯💥💞🦹♀️
Yeah man, many thanks for putting this up. I say to all don’t compare, there is no comparison. I don’t believe there is any music on the radio like this today. What the hell happened? 😎🎸. That’s a rhetorical question of course .........
This is another great track from the Seventies, also i have reason to believe, is produced by Stevie Wonder. That makes it better. Has always been a favourite (i remember taping it off Radio Luxembourg back in the day,) and it will always be a fave of mine.
How could anybody give this a thumbs down!?!? Simply fabulous. Thanks Stevie for writing this timeless masterpiece.
The Stevie Wonder signature sound is makes this song extra special
I know right?! 🤷🏽♀️ this song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Some people don't have a clue what "feel good" music is🤷♀️
This is one of those songs that is so beautiful it brings you to tears of pure joy.
Amen...tears flowing right now..nothing but joy
Brings me to tears in memories, on how I miss Jeanette Loza
It's amazing for a feminist Aretha sound so thirsty for a guy who wants nothing to do with her.

Beautifully said😍
This song is too gorgeous! My favorite Aretha Song. RIP Queen.
An immortal song, written and sung by immortals
Blacks blew down the cold doors of American music and poured out their hearts and souls to us all I’m 71 and my minds still on fire 🔥
Always loved this song. A song with feeling and longing and sentiment. Love the back up singers who get no recognition. Nothing like the vile vulgar crap you hear today. May God take you Aretha into his keeping. Amen and amen.
Nostalgia, tears and laughter memories from 1974, my goodness!!!!!!
The instrumentation and backup singing is really good on this great 70s song.
So true! Backup and music just beautiful too.
@@sondrasmith2691 Thanks very much for reminding of this song tonight.
Omg i relate to this song so much 😭
Whenever i hear this song. It reminds me of the heartbreak i endured and sttill endure as the love of my life dumped me via a phone call. It is a painfull thing to be rejected.
I have found love again. So there is hope
I was 15 year's old when I heard this song. This song, Day Dreaming and Respect are my favorites 😁👍🏼🎉💕
I'll try to have Day Dreaming out next Tuesday!
@@ChrisLyrics aww ty Chris👍🏼🎉
Lord these kind of songs are the soundtrack of my life. I grew up on this.
Same here how lucky we are with all the tuneles singers nowdays
To me, this song spotlights her voice and takent more than any other. Stevie Wonder really wrote a great song for her!
Amen and Amen; I turn 62 next month.
Real music
Me too. Also Anita Baker. If you don’t know who she is take a listen. Fabulous
Aretha has got a set of pipes unmatched by any of these so-called DIVAS of today!!! She felt no need to be called a DIVA!!! She was, NATURALLY!!! When I have been asked if I had 1 wish, I always have said,"To sing likeARETHA"!!!

@@sereneamani1713 Right! Talk about Gladys Knight for example. Spot on!!

Heard This song for the first time last night out eating dinner it just does something to me. Definitely adding it to the playlist
Yes i believe it was at the top of the charts for a long time 2x separated years thats how much this song has touched a whole lot of music lovers 😥❤
Also, credit to Mr Stevie Wonder for writing this beauty! To paraphrase him..."Aretha takes your song, and you never get it back!" He meant that with all respect. What a song! Feel the soul in it of 2 great artists!
My favourite Aretha tune....eternal rest QUEEN.
Mine too!!!!!
There was no one like her and I never tire of the song. It is so special!
This can stay on auto-play for me. Beautiful
My father owned a liquor store with a pool room adjacent to it. He had a juke box abd I remembering hearing this song blurring loudly outvof the juke box, it became my favorite of hers, still to this day. Rest Queen ❤
Chuck Rainey absolutely KILLIN the bass, as usual
I discovered her music in 1966, I was 6yrs old and she is no doubt the Queen of song with a unique voice no female could ever duplicate.
My God! I haven’t heard this song in so many years! I forgot how good a song this is! 🥰

Stevie Wonder wrote this for her. She blew it up!
Aretha; In a Class by Yourself (Rest In Peace) I had no idea Stevie Wonder wrote this!!
This is another great track from the Seventies, also i have reason to believe, is produced by Stevie Wonder. That makes it better. Has always been a favourite (i remember taping it off Radio Luxembourg back in the day,) and it will always be a fave of mine.
