Mary Spender being from Muscle Shoals Alabama it really hit us hard. My town is where she found her sound. I messaged you before saying you and Leo should come and put on a show at the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. You would absolutely love the musical history of this town.
Any song done with love, conviction, and respect is well done. The fact that your version of this song is also pure and beautiful take it to a higher level. Your care for the material and our dearly departed Ms. Franklin shine through. Bravo Mary!
Oh my God!!! I don’t believe...that’s a wonderfoul gift for me...find a new singer, so beatiful, voice incredible...in this world it’s so hard to find...thank Mary...you got a new fan!!! Sorry my english...Brasilian allright...🤦🏻♂️😜😉❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻
I am a fanatical Aretha Franklin fan for over 50 years, but Mary you killed it, from the very first note you totally blew me away. You did this more than justice, you took it to another level. Thank you for doing you.
My God Mary, that's the best I've ever heard you sing. It really suits you to sing in the high notes. Beautiful. so beautiful. Thanks for the song, I really enjoyed it
Howdy from Texas!...Now...If I may, I hafta say you are wrong, Mary. You did do her & this justice. My gawd. This brought tears. I can't think of anyone else that could pull this off. I watched your transformation vid last night & this is your best, yet. Proud of you, sweetheart.
Gorgeous cover and tribute to the late Aretha (RIP) One of her best songs I think and you nailed it so beautifully Mary. Your singing voice is simply stunning....as are you I might add. Whoever your partner is they are very lucky!
For lack of a better way to put it, Mary... this cover is channeling both Aretha Franklin's and Dionne Warwick's versions. And still there's no doubt that it's you performing it. Masterful, brilliant. ^5
Beautifully done Mary, I grew up to this song on am radio back in the late 60's, early 1970's, great song & great, great artist, she really was the queen of soul, she will be greatly missed!!! You did a great jib on this song Mary, thanks for sharing & inspiring, God Bless !!!
Speaking as someone who was 10 years old when the original was released, and who grew up with this number being a 'standard' -this is a nice rendition!
Hey Mary, I've been following you on RUclips for about a year or so. Your version of this tune, does a great justice to Aretha, and shows how your talents can bring this song new life. I go back about ever week or two to listen to this. great job.
Mary, yours is more than a fair rendition. Clearly, you're multi talented - a plethora of styles, both innovative & classy; I only play bass guitar & drums - six strings, whilst not impossible, is the worst of my instruments - & I'm a leftie. You're a delight :)
This is the video I overheard while making a hasty breakfast and had to ask the young lady listening, "Who the hell is that doing that slamming version of Aretha?". Fortunate chance which introduced me to your great talent and quirky and endearing internet videos ( which of course I proceeded to binge on). Continued success, look forward to more.
