Great choice. There have been many other great female soul singers but only one queen, Aretha Franklin. This song is an all-time classic and Aretha's signature song. Love your reaction.
I grew up in the 60's when the radio stations blended all music into their playlists. Rock, Pop, R and B, Soul, Folk, Psychedelic. Nowadays music is segregated into tiny compartments which denies listeners a full appreciation of whats happening in the musical landscape. Broadcasting became "narrow" casting. What a shame. Now getting back to Aretha, here she is in all her iconic glory with her rendition of Carole King's YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A NATURAL WOMAN at the Kennedy Center Honors. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MfEb9Sb6Ge8.html
💘 this show so much.Yeah, it's the 60's...never be surprised. This song ,at one time , was in Rolling Stone's Top 5 singles. Try Queen of Rock Linda Ronstadt on Midnight Special You're No Good.
Sorry, messed up comment You remind me of my mam & me, sitting at my house, listening to music, playing scrabble & sharing a bottle of wine. Great insight & reaction, as usual 👍🏻
Love me some Aretha Franklin and love me some Generation Gap Reacts! I am new to your channel and I am really enjoying your videos so far! The pair of you obviously have a close connection and a passion for great music! If you don't mind song suggestions I would like to request you add "White Queen" by Queen live at the Hammersmith Odeon to your list of songs to react to one day! Keep up the great work!
Don't forget, ladies, that this was a song written by a man from a man's perspective before being usurped by the feminist movement. A less sympathetic view was that this track was filler for her break out Atlantic album "I Never Loved A Man the Way I Love You". Five of the eleven tracks on that album were (what's called today) covers!! However it certainly hit a chord and with that superb arrangement couldn't miss 😃 Me? I bought the Otis Redding single AND the Aretha album back when they were first released.
An incredible performance to watch and get goosebumps from us Aretha doing (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman at the 2015 Kennedy Centre Honours. Carole King was there being honoured, so Aretha sang Carole’s song for her as a tribute. It’s sensational.
Cool moves, ladies ! .. Mother, you must have caught more than a few eyes back in your dancing days .. And Daughter, you would have fitted right in there with her on the floor ! .. Nice reaction, as always.
Could you check out the band "Poets of the Fall" and their music video "Carnival of Rust" They are a very underrated rock band from Finland and my favorite band and while the song is not my favorite from them it is their most successful internationally song by a huge margin. Also the music video was chosen as the best Finnish music video ever made.
This was written and originally performed from a man's point of vieew, by Otis Redding. Aretha's arrangement, I have to say, improves upon Redding's strong original.
Aretha's sister Erma has also recorded some soul numbers. She had a version of Piece of My Heart, also done around the same time as the Janis Joplin recording...in my opinion Erma's was better.
LMAO,, If you listen to whats Not said as what is, Ms. Franklin appears to wait on more than just respect,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, "Give Me My Proper's When I Get Home",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ? I believe there's good cause here to assume the phrase Boy-Toy may be relevant. *-Human Behavior, What-Ever.
