Aretha allowed the background singers to absolutely SHINE on this track. That’s one thing I loved about her, her background singers all had distinctly, powerful voices.

The way their voices fade out into the orchestration is GENIUS and magical.

@merkjanoosterhoff1590

In fact, she did win the grammy. But out of loyalty she gave it to Esther Phillips, "who deserved it more", in Aretha's own words. Esther was nominated for her album "Home is where the hatred is", but Aretha won. Esther just came out of rehab and this was a beautiful gesture from Aretha. She wrote it with Temptation Dennis Edwards in mind.

YOU must be from Tina Turner’s hometown of Nutbush Tennessee bec Aretha Franklin was actually born in Memphis Tennessee, but when very young, her family migrated north (as a part of the African American “Great Migration” out of the South) to Buffalo NY (close the the Canadian border) but spent most of her childhood In Detroit Michigan.

I defy ANY "beat maker" to attempt to use a plug in and make the drums all on one side and the bass on another and see how it comes out. it will sound like backside booty, because plug ins and digital recording cant match analog.
