    Finally! I’ve been telling you guys to do this one for a long time now. This is an outstanding song by Aretha. And consider this. This song, with its incredible rawness and soul, was released in 1968. I was 12 years old. This is the kind of music we were exposed to on the radio on a daily basis. A variety of everything from Motown to the kind of funky soul like this that was coming out of Atlantic Records, to British rock and classic rock to psychedelic to country rock and even instrumentals. It was the best time to grow up when it comes to music, IMO.

    Aretha was a force of nature. I had the honor and pleasure to work as part of the stage crew for the Muskegon Summer Celebration in Michigan. She was one of the performers. She didn't interact with the crew as much as some acts do, but she was an absolute pro. She came in, got off her bus, walked onstage, blew the roof off the dump, walked back on the bus, and counted her money. Killed it. Everyone in that building knew who was in charge that night. She was amazing.

      I don't know if this movie was popular enough to get a lot of views if they reacted to it but it was a lot of fun. John Travolta as an angel getting all the ladies in the bar to dance to this and then fighting all the men was classic. The lady in Ground Hogs Day, Andi McDowell I think, is blown away by Michael who smells like cookies :)

      Was thinking of “Michael” movie too! For Jordan and Amber, John Travolta plays an angel. There’s a great scene where he goes into a honky tonk (his angel wings under a trench coat) and puts this song on the juke box followed by him “enticing” all of the women in the bar to the dance floor to the chagrin of the male patrons. I’ve heard others say this had to do with his angel essence. I like to think it’s a commentary on how women like men who dance. 😊

    She won a Grammy for Best R&B performance in 1969 and proceeded to win it for the next 8 years.

    I know Aretha wrote Think, and Otis Redding wrote Respect, but I can't say who wrote the rest of her songs.

    This song appears in the movie Michael with John Travolta. It’s a great scene where he attracts literally every woman in the bar to the dance floor. ❤

    Rolling Stone called Franklin "the greatest singer of her generation".
    Franklin was nominated for a Grammy Award 44 times and was the award winner 18 times. Eleven of her albums were nominated, winning four times.
    I personally remember the day in the 1960s when I first heard her because it was so remarkable and beautiful.

    This is one song I cannot sit still through, it just gets me moving. Figured out years ago, after listening to Aretha sing this, that I wasn't going to be a link in someones chain. Don Covay wrote the song, but we all know it's Aretha's! Great reaction guys.

    Aretha is Queen. Her granddaughter Grace Franklin auditioned on American Idol last year. You can check out her performance on here. Song suggestion: Aretha Franklin--I Say A Little Prayer (1970).

    This is what I'm talking about!!!! Queen Aretha. More Aretha reactions please. Yes she did write some of her own music including Angel with her sister Carolyn. Rock Steady (a brilliant song), Think (another classic), Call Me, Day Dreaming, Dr Feelgood, Since You've Been Gone and many others.

    We didn't (and don't) call her that. That's just who she is: the Queen of Soul
    Experience her voice once and you realize that you are listening to musical royalty of the highest order. Aretha will always be the Queen.

    I saw some awards show (probably Grammys) years ago where she was a last-minute replacement for someone and she sang opera. Immaculately! It was awesome. So, yes, she can sing anything.

    Just recommended y'all to my 80 yo dad. I love your responses to "my" generation of '80s, but know y'all are just as excited about "golden oldies" as they're known (1950s-60s). Thanks for this tune today! Incredible.

    Aretha is the sole writer of "Rock Steady" along with a with others and co-wrote some songs with Ted White, including "Think". The bulk of her extensive catalogue of songs were written by others. Regardless of who writes the songs, when she sings them, they become special.

    She did not write all or even most of the music she recorded but she did write more than a few of her hits, including things like "Rock Steady", "Dr. Feelgood" and "Day Dreaming" among others. "Rock Steady" is REALLY good and is in some ways a grad level course on funk.

    OH DEAR GOD YES! This is ma mama's song! She will stop what she's doing to do her entire routine to this song (it's quite impressive how she can navigate driving the car), but yea this song is SPECIAL, as a kid this was my favorite Aretha song cause it's just so much fun to "CHAIN CHAIN CHAIIIIIINNNN!!!". In the background you're hearing her 2 sisters Carolyn & Erma, plus Whitney Houstons mom Cissy Houston & her group The Sweet Inspirations. I recommend my favorite Aretha song, Ain't No Way, it's off of this same album and it's just brilliant, it's been covered a billion times but nobody ever did it the justice she did in recording it (plus Whitney's mom Cissy shines especially bright in the background launching into operetic notes the whole song), it will blow you away. And you're right the magic of Aretha is how versatile she is, she has done every major genre of music, I honestly prefer her Jumpin Jack Flash cover in the 80s to the original (and I know a few people who are in agreement about that too) and she even mastered Opera in her career too. She really was brilliant in terms of talent, her voice but also her song writing, production, and her piano skills.
    On the songwriting front, she did, but it wasn't 1 of her staples, granted she could totally self write & compose/arrange, but she always was about collaborating with great writers, 1 of whom was her sister Carolyn who wrote that song Ain't No Way. The brilliance about Aretha's voice like Whitney is that her interpretations & breakdowns of a song would make you think she wrote the song.

    Aretha is the best. She died when I was in the USA with my family. Driving in the car they played the album Amazing Grace. The kids were deadly quite in the back and I cried behind the wheel with my sunglasses on. Back home I went to the movie Amazing Grace. Best music documentary I ve seen.

    I visited FAME studio in Muscle Shoals, AL a few years ago. Walking into the studio where this magnificent soul propelled her career. Talk about cold chills. If you ever get the chance to visit this historic little town in the middle of “nowhere,” you will never regret it. The number of artists who have flocked here over the decades is staggering. Keep doing what you do. You all are great!

    Aretha's voice seems super powerful to me. My older sister described it best when she said Aretha Franklin's voice gave her chills. It does. So special! I've heard a lot of great R&B female vocalists over the years, but none of them have that certain unique quality that Aretha did.

    The Queen, Miss Aretha!
    Natural Woman is one of Aretha's best. It was written by Carole King.
    Aretha sang it at The Kennedy Center Honors to honor Carole. This is ARETHA AT HER FINEST!!
    PLEASE listen to this performance!

    Aretha was the daughter of a very famous Baptist minister in Detroit and obviously got her start in the gospel choir. The church was right around the corner from Motown Records so she was naturally a fit there. She IS the queen of soul!

    I was singing this song last night and wondered if you'd be reacting to it soon. 👍🏽
    Yes, she wrote several of her own songs, and "Think" is based on the rocky marriage she was in at the time. I don't remember her ex-husband's name, but his foolishness was made known to us by that song.
    Check out her 80s song "Jimmy Lee".

    I’d like to offer a little history of this Aretha Franklin song and album. Among the ladies singing backup was Sissy Houston. She sang on nearly all of Aretha’s albums plus many others. Her daughter was Whitney Houston. I fondly call this “The Chain” as it speaks for the song and the connections!❤

    I grew up listening to Aretha and love every single song she wrote and sang. She is still the queen of soul in my mind. So, for something peppy and fun you might want to listen to “JIMMY LEE” (1986). At the same time synth disco was big in the dance clubs this song would always fill the dance floor, It’s fun 😊. Also check out “UNTIL YOU COME BACK TO ME” 1973 ❤

    Aretha CAN sing anything. She once stood in for Pavarotti when he was unable to attend a planned performance. She sang opera.
