Lyrics:
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools
For five long years
I thought you were my man
But I found out
I'm just a link in your chain
Oh-wo-ah
You got me where you want me
I ain't nothing but your fool
You treated me mean
Oh, you treated me cruel
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools
Every chain
Has got a weak link
I might be weak, child
But I'll give you strength, yeah
You told me to leave you alone
My father said, "come on home"
My doctor said, "take it easy"
Oh, but your loving is much too strong
I'm added to your chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Your chain of fools
Oh, one of these mornings
The chain is gonna break
But up until then yeah
I'm gonna take all I can take, oh yeah
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Your chain of fools, oh
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain) Oh
Chain, chain, chain
Your chain of fools, oh yeah
*******************
An icon of 20th and 21st century music, the voice of the civil rights movement, and the undisputed Queen of Soul-there is only one Aretha Franklin. In her incredible six-decade career, Aretha evolved from teenage gospel star to reigning pop and R&B diva, recording classics like “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” “Chain Of Fools”, “Think” (lyrics by Aretha Franklin), definitive versions of the songs “Respect” and “I Say a Little Prayer”, and global hits like “Freeway Of Love,” “I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)”, and “A Rose Is Still A Rose.”
Altogether, 112 of her singles reached the charts, with 20 No. 1 R&B singles, the most ever by a female artist. She won 18 Grammy Awards (including the first eight trophies for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance) and, out of recognition for her for indelible contribution to American music and culture, received both the Presidential Medal Of Freedom and a Pulitzer Prize.

I'm 28. Was raised on Aretha. I'll never let soul die. ❤❤❤ God bless y'all.
You were raised right! ✌️😎
I' m 73 and grew up on motown etc. Too!😮😅😊
Keep it playing
I’m 54 and have loved this music all my life!.
I'm 70. Depending on ya.
Possibly the greatest female vocalist ever !
Unique and superbly sublime vocalist!
No wonder she is the most charted female singer. My words are not enough !
There ain't no possibly about it. Her range, power and spot on pitch are unmatched
Right, also Linda Maria Ronstadt, Karen Carpenter. That sums it up for my lifetime.
@@petec9686absolutely. Her power and range is remarkable
There will never be another Aretha or tuna turner😢
good ol' tuna. Never heard such a fishy woman before or since.
Now we're going to be facetious right ✅️
❤❤❤❤WEIRDO❤❤❤
@@ChromeDaimao🤣🤣🤣
Not crazy about living in a world without Aretha...🌏
Ditto.....
hang in there WEDNESDAY....IT CAN ONLY GET WORSE...lol stay well
That opening guitar line, still gives me the chills, even before Lady Aretha begins to sing!!! An incredible song when I was a kid, and today!
Sho nuff, it reminds you...whether you want to remember,or not,but you welcome it,cause you don't want to walk away.
That's Joe South playing the guitar
@leekosmin8788 thank you for the information! I would never have known or guessed that is Joe South on guitar in her song.
@@davepike6170 My pleasure. I'm a singer/songwriter, got my own RUclips Channel. Check out I Just Can't Go On if you get the chance.
@@davepike6170 My pleasure
70 year old white boy from Baltimore…been loving the Queen of Soul for 60 years. Thanks Barry Gordy and others.
ur grown man not a boy
@@samiam2003It's a silly hyperbole. Relax
@@blueseaswhiteskies it's not a hyperbole
70 year old WB; Memphis TN checking in here !
@@davesuiter 55 YO Gen Xer checking in here. Aretha is and always will be The Queen of Soul.
One of the "GREATEST" songs ever !!!!!
youngins, this is the real deal, what we called SOUL MUSIC and still do . this is a genre all its own . it don't fit your broad "throw anything you want" into r&b genre . Soul music is a Titan, its too great and awesome to fit in any of your genres
Don’t bother addressing “youngins”. Age doesn’t matter. There’s plenty of older folk who don’t appreciate true art and passion and feeling. Address the ignorant. The lost. Not the “youngins”
Yup
@@Puppy_Puppington yea not all elderly people have good taste. Think about all those Dylan fans
@@adonaiyah2196 HEYYYYY lol I grew up with Dylan And Soul and love them both. Great era to be young!,
Us not so youngins completely agree over here
She in my opinion , was probably one of the most gifted female artists in my lifetime !!! Gospel , & blues , soul . She had the vocal range and talent !!! R. I. P Aretha , you are not forgotten ❤
Great Opinion!!
This is not music... this is pure soul and heart.
❤
Queen of Soul nothing else you can say..
DddddďddzdźdďzďdďddzddďddďdďdDdddďdd§ddďddddzs§dď
Absolument magnifique ❤
En 2024 toujours d'actualité ❤
J'adoreee ❤❤❤
This is one of those songs that I’m happy existed during my time on this planet 🤷🏼♂️🖤🤤
When a song can raise the hair on your arms because of how it hits you, then you know you found something special.
RIP, Queen. May your music continue to ring in the minds of people around the world and inspire them to be greater than themselves.
She will forever be queen of soul 😊
What a gift . No other can be any better than
Aretha !
When my sister and I were little kids this was a smash hit and if ever either one of us would mess up in life and do something we shouldn’t have, we would sing this song to each other, “ Chain chain chain, chain of fools.” LOL 😂 We are so blessed to have grown up in the 1960’s and 1970’s with some of the very best music that there has ever been, music that would bless you, move your soul, and speak to your heart. Happy Birthday to you in Heaven Aretha, The Truly One And Only Queen Of Soul.
That's heartwarming!!❤😊👍
.....
Qqqqqqqqqqq
Indeed!!!!
Two is a bond. 5 is a team. Seconds to spare, minutes to hours. Life spans dream.
She was an amazing performer. Her skills can't be duplicated!!!!!!!!!!
Jennifer Hudson comes very close ...'Respectfully' ~ But the cabal robbed her too. Those demons milk you in...And spit you out if you don't agree to their SICK agenda. I pray that Jennifer comes out if that evil trap ...To tell us her real storey ~ Those bastards murdered her family members. It's a "contract". I pray that Jennifer comes out of this to tell the world her truth . She's extremely gifted. With or without them. FACT. 💪💌💜👍
She is definitely great woman been through so much she wrote amazing songs
@Tiana Mckay hi same name 🥰🥰
Yes, she can’t be duplicated and she can be imitated, but it’s never going to be THE Aretha Franklin!
Rosie Gaines use to sing with Prince ....Rosie sounded so much like Aretha. Them two are on the same level with the voice.
One of the best sung by the best…she’s incredible
We’re singing this in my choir at school for our upcoming concert, such a fun song!
My absolute favorite song she ever did.
Me too-there is a longer version that has this that has an incredibily bluesy intro that is even better. I believe this was recorded at the Muscle Shoals Studio in Alabama which had an amazing group of musicians.
Me too
Probably my favorite Aretha tune, of many favorites. That's REAL Soul Pop Funk R&B folks. The guitar is swampy grittiness from the drop, and the bass...the whole thing man. It's 2 and a half minutes of glory.
Joe South playing the guitar
Chain, chain, chain. Amazing voice. R.I.P
IT'S not IF you're black or white or anyone else, this song is amazing. Aretha is forever perfect
19 years of age and Boi this a funky groove that’ll never go outta style in my book, too bad my generation doesn’t appreciate Soul and authenticity
Regardless of what she’s singing… goosebumps… every time.
In 1969 my best friend and I went to see the Queen of Soul . It was my first live concert and I still don't think anyone compares her. I could listen to her for hours.
Driving into work (night shift at a hospital) and people in the parking lot lookin' at me like they've never seen a middle aged white lady rock out with Aretha
good music doesn't have any biasises
Closeminded or worse.
Aretha is probably the only singer that moves me to tears. She makes you feel something inside your soul. That’s why she’s the queen of soul forevermore.
THIS is what happens when you throw Soul Gospel together with a Funk background. It takes over your whole body. 😎👍
It makes me miss and long for the good old days rest in peace sweet queen of soul❤
It ain't funk, but a touch. It's the Muscle Shoals music.
The QUEEN OF MOTOWN /SOUL....amazing beautiful woman!! Incredible God given talent!!! And man did she used it!!!!🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵
I'll soon be 57 and I'm still jammin and getting down to this song in 2022
70 and still jammin to the Queen!
I'm 41 and jamming to it in 2023.🥰
33 Mexican/American here, don’t let soul music die.
✨✨✨✨✨ 👸🏾 ✨✨✨✨✨
Her voice still gives me chills. Always will.🕊🌹🦋🌈🕯☮️💟
Me2
Me tooooo.....
God Aretha really SANG with her heart AND soul.
This woman is a treasure!!!
The difference when you hear someone who can sing and understands rhythm instead of auto tune and flat beats.
Aretha was the salt and spice in the soul stew for sure.
WOW!!!! 🙏🙏🙏 can you imagine being at a club and hearing her perform this live back in the day!!!!
🙏🏻
My favorite Aretha Franklin song. She was great and so was the band (Joe South on guitar).
On probably a Danelectro 6 string baritone tuned down to C with some trem from maybe a Magnatone......
The Swampers in Muscle Schols Alabama made the music
Dang this made me cry somehow
Her band on this is the Swampers from Muscle Shoals, Alabama... nothing but five white guys...
She couldn't believe how good these white boys were!
What an awesome song!
Great song by the Queen of soul! 🔝❤️
One of the best one-chord songs ever.
Excellence. Pure. Simple.
Queen of Soul! in the Morning also Happy Birthday!!! Aretha aslo Happy 79th Birthday to her in Heaven we wish she was here with us but God knows... To Aretha's fans and love one. keep her Legacy and in spirit a live. Love you Queen. Detroit keep her always in heart❤️#RESTINPOWER.
Dropping in to pay respects to the late great Roger Hawkins on the drums. Great performance. The action that happens when he brings in that ride cymbal bell makes the whole track. Beautiful playing.
There will never be another Soul legend like this again
Absolutely! This is the Real Deal! Never going out of STYLE!! Love her!
I feel this in my soul damn this lady is the queen
She's like a fine wine never go bad always Aretha
that Bass!!! WOW!
Just one of my many favorites songs!! By: Ms. Franklin!!❤❤
I love Re as my mom calls her. Aretha, Tina and Diana are the pop/rock/soul Charlie’s Angels. Just sugar, spice and everything nice. Never will you see another like any of the three.
This is one of the greatest songs ever written recorded or sung by any artist in history ❤
I still get chills listening to this.
RIP Aretha Franklin 😢
HappyBirthdayArethaFranklin
This song would always be playing at my great grandmother’s house anytime the family was over when I was a baby now my grandma has passed and this song will always be playing when I think of her love you grandma 🕊🕊❤️❤️
One of her best right here from the late and great Aretha Franklin The Queen of Soul. Play this all the time on my internet radio show Classic Soul me the Masterblaster
That break in her voice is priceless
Beautiful voice and music.
THE QUEEN
The hottest opening notes on a gitar. It's definitely Aretha's song. Wouldn't have it any other way. No one else can do it. But that 'tar is HOT.
Amen this is the best
the best
Aretha franklin was such a beautiful soul and I loved her music thankyou ms Aretha for blessing us with your music 🎶 🎵
Oh she is a legend Jennifer hudson played her in respect what a honour! Aretha is so talented and the artistry is sooo incredible
Aretha s voice is flawless so soothing. One of the best songs .ì❤🎉😂
The lyrics are so deep the tune is heavenly
Happy Birthday in heaven Aretha 💛 Wish you were still here to celebrate with your family
THIS!!! this dear young people is the REAL DEAL! moves you! Impossible to sit to 😂❤ they just don’t make music this good in todays world
That's right!!😂
One of my favorites
I worked in a bar called chain of fools . This song got played a lot. Loved her music. 😅
Joe South channeling Pops Staples on guitar just effin' nails it!
And face it, that woman could read the damn phone book out loud and make a baptist wanna get up and dance!
Man that is one awesome track !
I thought it _was_ Staples Snr on lead! Great sound.
Aretha was awesome but for whatever reason there were a few other great singers who, given better songs and good management could have done more. I'm thinking, for one, about the girl that sang with Ray Charles on You are My Sunshine and the Right Time. Margie Hendrix, a fantastic voice but a career that went nowhere, unfortunately. Just one example. Timi Yuro had a huge voice as demonstrated on her record Cuttin' In. But being the right person with the right support and great material is so important to a musician's success.
But no doubt Aretha was a 'phenom', as they say these days.
That bridge gets me every time. ❤
Back when talent was credited and fame wasn't given to just any bum
I been singing this song a bunch of times since i was child and grew up. This was one of my favorites.
My favorite song of the queen. It gets all the hair on my body to stand on in. It's a funky it's a blues it's soul it's a classic ☮️🕊️
Perfect soul song. Musicians are smoking hot.
Tremendous!!! From a time before me when people that made music were musicians. Musicians with musical instruments and skills, not jackoffs with computers and a big ego.
This is so good i can't take it no longer ! god gawd almighty, help me now ! can i get a witness, lord have mercy ....
She's utterly amazing. That's all I can say.
Those boys at Muscle Shoals nailed this one.
Bring back the soul music nothing to beat this do the same dance John travolta did in the pub scene and it blends perfectly The kids of today know sweet f.all
The Queen of Soul maybe gone but this song lives Forever.
Por siempre la Reina del Soul!!!!!!!!!
If you're still sittin down you need therapy! Get on up and jam with the Queen!! 💚💙💜
Awesome vocals and that bass is straight nasty my man knew how to hit that blues bass better than anyone I've ever heard
Agree, that bass is bad a$$!
❤Aretha Franklin❤
Chain, chain ,l love this song
Loved it when they danced to this song in the movie Michael with John Travolta!
So much better than what we have now!
She was sososo sososo sososo brilliant
what a great song, why can't we hear this on the radio today..geeze
The gay agenda is more important to the powers that be. They want people to forget their roots
I tried to think of how to describe this song by THE Queen of Soul. How do you describe almost perfection? Reminder, this song was cut way before digital editing came along in the analog era. Doesn't matter the year or genre - a great singer and great song will always rise to the top. 2024 and still sounds as good as it did when originally released. 😀
She was sososo sososo sososo pure
Her music is amazing wish you were here Aretha 🕊🍄🌈💗✨🌼
I've have an ear-to-ear smile,and tears in my eyes, listening to this masterpiece! 🔥🔥🔥
I fckn love her voice, she's the GOAT. In heaven(
Rest in peace, darling ❤️😢
Im 29 and alot of this era of music i love... all this new music is not even music...
aii
Maybe look for recent music you like instead of just listening to the supposedly "top artists" (mostly industry plants) that most people don't even listen to at all. There is so much diversity. You simply haven't looked.
