*******************
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.

Her sister Carolyn Franklin wrote this. Carolyn was a lesbian, and this is a song about a woman trying to convince a woman to come out and be herself, so that they could be together. It's been reclaimed as a lesbian anthem. Carolyn, very sadly, died young of breast cancer at age 44.
Cissy Houston ain't no joke on them background vocals.
Big thanks to Aretha’s sister Carolyn Franklin for writing this masterpiece 👏
There will never be another Aretha, Ella, Sara V . All unforgettable voices, will go down in history! Can't imagine anyone not loving Aretha Franklin. Makes my heart smile❤
Cissy Houston certainly put the grease on the background vocals! My fav Aretha Franklin song!
This is one of the most meaningful, soul-touching songs Aretha sang... I am more of an Empress guy, but oh my, the Queen has always did it for me as well.
I have to confess that for several decades I thought Aretha was overrated. But when I had the pleasure of going through her body of work in order to see why I thought such a thing, it didn’t take very long for me to realize that she was spectacular in every way, and not many others can dismantle a song as she did. The true queen of soul.
I LOVE Cissy’s back up vocals on this song! Wow 🤩
I tried to hit that "who ahh' note, and as the song goes, Ain't No Way!
Cissy Houston killing it in the background
