Aretha Franklin: Son of a preacher man

[@monochromeintechnicolor5036]

A pure vocal talent that never needed the touch of auto-tune.

[@stylincarrie1]

Amazing. I love the way she turns it into a church song.

[@arceliariosgomez9841]

Oh man, the Queen of soul herself, what a great song and a lovely voice. Whoa boy!!!!!

[@loriromano6399]

Aretha was offered this song prior to Dusty and turned it down. Ultimate compliment to Dusty that she decided to record it after hearing Dusty's version and loving it. Of course, she put the RE RE on it and made it her own, like all the greats do.

[@dimitrijackson2755]

Lori Romano You sure nough right!!!! Re Re!!!! All day!!!!

[@SmokeyLeatherCompany]

Someone has Spotify lol

[@BluBrryYum]

This is a Dionne Warwick song 🤦🏿‍♀️

[@itseemedtoher8053]

Yes and in the documentary Just Dusty, Dusty Springfield points out the genius of Ms. Franklin's version, returning the compliment. Love that...

[@boblozaintherealworld3577]

Aretha always made EVERYTHING her own. Dusty made her name known by taking on R&B and Pop and still making it sound real. She was white, English, and lesbian....so she had her own walls to climb. Thank the gods for both of these women.

[@CrooklynKnight]

The hallelujah, the way she reworked the bridge... Aretha truly was the Queen.

[@dustfreequeen5151]

I love her version.....gives me chills!

[@omarmccray3282]

Yes the best.

[@desi00000]

This really sounds very different from Dusty's version so I don't know why people even try to compare. They are just so different in their interpretations. Both are beautiful in their own ways. Music, like life, does not have to be an either or situation.

[@LaserGadgets]

+Mondez Durden True. Opinions man... In my, it should be alot faster than the original. Aretha can kick ass with her voice. Would blow you away.

[@loriromano6399]

With Dusty and Aretha you are so right. Both versions are different and both are great interpretations. I'm sure each woman loved the other woman's version.

[@9675775]

You stated it so well. Thank you for your intelligent and insightful comment.

[@frelac3549]

I am not quite getting the gist of this interpretation though, it’s not convincing me me even with all the big runs and belting, it sounded to me like she insisted it had to be different from the original and did everything differently but it didn’t come together. Maybe if she sang the original interpretation of a growing explosion of the secret love with this son of a preacher man, just with her voice i think it would sound good. She had to present it differently I guess in her mind, but it didn’t come together for me or convince me of this secret passion with billy ray

[@coleparker]

Totally agree

[@AdAstraOracle]

The groove is *IT* -- so swampy. I love this as much as Dustys.

[@sevenrats]

I feel like when Aretha sings the word "Hallelujah", God smiles.

[@lorrainemarcone6912]

So beautiful inside and out. The voice of an angel. A true Queen ❤

[@atheoma]

that ‘haleluya’ in the end just rips me apart omg. aretha totally killed it. no sense in comparing aretha and dusty, both are genious artists with their own style and sound. thanks for sharing.

[@davebeach2343]

Damn, Aretha in full voice singing a song that's made to give anyone a chance to shine. Love this

[@bellamonaco8509]

Hearing this for the first time after listening to Dusty for years. Didn’t get into it at first, but Aretha’s bridge here is a knockout

[@minikiwi1436]

Rip. You will never be forgotten for the amazing things you did in life.

[@CajunMan77]

Her interpretation of this song is phenomenal!

[@anandmorris]

I heard this in the office for the 1st time about 3 weeks ago. Now i cannot stop listening to it. And i love Dusty Springfield too.

Love the original by Dusty Springfield but HOLY MOLY Aretha Franklin’s voice is sooo powerful! 🔥 ❤

[@Theasworld1984]

My grandmother was born the same year as Aretha and sadly passed away the same year as Aretha just sixteen days after her my grandmother was a fan and I didn't expect to say goodbye to them both so close together rest in HEAVENLY peace ladies 1942-2018

[@sashineb.2114]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a grandmother is a very hard thing to go through. Wishing you the best.

[@Theasworld1984]

@@sashineb.2114 thank you 💖💖 I'm still trying to come to terms with the loss but have my ups and downs with it.

[@adej75]

Aretha's point of reference was always the church and her love for God, this reduction is a great example of this. I don't believe that the greatest amounts us rest, they continue to work for God, until the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, on that note hope to hear your beautiful voice praising God in another lifetime🙏🙏🙏

A bit like "Little help from my friends", with Beatles and then with Joe Cocker, so different, there is place for the two in the highest.

[@yzsterling5699]

For all you people fighting over what version is best Aretha or Dusty what I have come to lean whatever version you hear first is usually the version you like. Nice song this is but it was Dusty's version I heard first for many years so that is my huckleberry.

[@valiantve4]

I'm your huckelberry DOC. I thought that Dusty's version was best until I heard Aretha's version that's my personal opinion so therefore I disagree with your statement. But you are entitled to everything you think. God Bless!

[@Ap1ist]

Absolutely agree that the version you hear first is normally the best(In your opinion) as i've found this true with many songs

[@tommy2chips]

Dude she took this song to another level. She literally made this to a "gospel" song. But also she add swag to the song.

[@bugzeemartin]

I agree with this, my favorite is Dusty's and that was the first one I heard

[@mattthezombie420]

Hoping not to sound racist but to me this song has to much jive to it. Dusty had a more smooth tone for the song.

[@ZedValhalla]

WHAT A FUCKING VOICE!!!!!

I love the both versions (Aretha and Dusty), but the Aretha version has something different, I can feel her soul in the music.

Bro.. for real...

[@RoundBoy304]

This song was originally written for Aretha, but she passed the song to Dusty. Aretha eventually covered it, just to give it that "diva soul."

That and with Otis Redding’s Respect
