Aretha Franklin When Two Become One

New Song (When two Become one) This song has a nice melody to it.

[@user-uf5rr6kh9h]

This song and her mastery of it epitomizes "grown folks" music. The Queen wore this out without breaking a sweat.

[@gooffgoff89]

At age 66 and dealing w/cancer, she did her job on this cut! ❤❤💐

[@gooffgoff89]

This song is stunning! The lyrics, the background singers, the orchestration--why wasn’t this a hit! I’ve never heard Aretha sing with such lyrical depth as this. Wow! Simply wow!

[@VantisDoroHall]

As long as Aretha keeps singing like this, I am happy. Even when her voice was not at its best, I was thrilled by her art of working a song until it was hers alone. Nobody can touch her talent. She does some things with her voice that no one else can do, it seems. And, she is smart enough to know that, yet very humble. I love Queen Aretha.

[@gooffgoff89]

Agree. She was 66 when she recorded this and secretly battling cancer. Given her age and medical condition, she ate this song up! ❤️💐

[@maderianjohnson7856]

One day when the good LORD blesses me with a "Helpmeet" (A wonderful husband, help- mate), this is the song that I'd like to have playing at my "wedding"! Sung by the legendary 👑" Queen of Soul"!! This song is simply beautiful!!!

[@antd8259]

Sounding good. She and back up singers seem to mesh very well. I love the vibe of this song.

[@valjolly7469]

This should have been came out as a jazz single she would have on a Grammy for this in that category

[@philliphouse457]

With all artist there are songs that you are not going to like and there are songs that you're just going to love forever there are songs that I love of Aretha and there are songs I don't like o hers but I will always be one of her biggest fans I love this woman since I was child now I'm 52 years old and I still love her till today I have this CD I love this song and I love you can't see me

[@Tomemorgan]

Lady Soul. You are blowing me away w/ this masterful performance of your infectious instrument, your signature emotion, your tasteful jazz nuances and treatment of this song. YOU taught generartions well and continue to. Thank YOU. God Bless The Queen! BTW, Let us music lovers get into the practice of honoring and respecting our ((Black) legends who made it possible for many of today's half talents to become famous for reasons other than their musical longevity and integrity. Wake up!

[@melaninking4304]

This woman makes some of the best slow love songs you will ever hear in your life, Her backup singers are Superb!!! love Aretha..

[@jevonbostick3125]

This album was on her own Label Aretha Records in 2011

[@maderianjohnson7856]

WOW! The 👑 Queen of soul could sing all types of 🎶 music, and she looks so beautiful in this photo!

[@philliphouse457]

I love this woman so much I have loved her so since I was a kid I'm now 52 my first time seeing her live was 2016 Chicago theatre I miss you queen ❤️❤️❤️

[@sirblack1619]

Released May 3, 2011. I loved this track instantly! RIP Queen.

[@mello60ful]

I like where she went with this song a refreshing road to travel

[@majolaganymede2644]

QUEEN QUEENING!!!

[@MrStyle23]

I really hope this gets a digital re-release. I really loved most of this album.

[@JMcElroyHTX]

@faznout She makes her money doing concerts, royalties, and she owns her music. She's been in the biz long enough that she can rely on her name and legendary status.

[@algthedrill]

Still giving singing lessons

[@josiahbholahillaire198]

Beautiful song. Queen Aretha killed this song. OMG I love the message behind this song and also the melody. Speaks to my soul. RIP QUEEN ARETHA

[@rodwillis4080]

I love this one! She did her thang here! All hail The QUEEN!

[@Beautifulross3966]

Miss Aretha Franklin the QUEEN 👑

[@neededsaying]

Sang it Re'!!! One of my favorites of any era of Aretha! When I first heard this I could not believe how refreshing this was and still is after playing it repeatedly over the past two years. This is a setting I wish Aretha would explore more!

[@TheRedkappa]

Lord my new favorite song......I can't get it out my mind and heart....

[@olusheyibanjo]

Rest in Heaven Aretha

[@bolder2009]

This is a beautiful cut. Vocals and production are 1st class. And the song is well written.

[@LeafErikson]

bolder2009 Thank you. My cousin Curtiss Boone wrote and produced this

[@marcellamcduffie8218]

That's right you will no longer be two but one with that special one in your life when that time comes beautiful lyrics .

[@beebee9165]

Love this song and Aretha Franklin!

[@ElijahLukeMusic]

THE BEST SONG ON THEE ALBUM

[@MrRocky9000]

On this song her voice is in great form. ..Go Ree ! This song is definitely for grown folks...not the kiddies......deep message ! great arrangement too !

[@SashineB]

Wow. I don't have this album, because I wasn't happy with the two that she did before this. But I like this song, and I wish the entire album had this sort of feel to it.

[@HerDestiny]

"The Queen Of Soul" .. That Is All I Have To Say .. Greatness 🎶🎵 .. Rest In Heavenly Peace .. Aretha Franklin. 🙏🌹

[@narmi1]

[@TheRedkappa]

Omg Amazing...Simply! Rest in Heaven Queen of Soul

[@guliahoulamy]

Amazing!!!!

[@sirblack1619]

This is still one of my favorite tracks!

[@daphnejones4468]

Beautiful! Hadn’t heard this before. When did this come out?

[@bundyfn6222]

In 2011 on an album entitled Aretha, A Woman Falling out of Love". The album was only sold at Wal-Mart.

[@daphnejones4468]

Thank you.

[@WhitneyHouston4eva1]

@@daphnejones4468 you might be able to find the album on Amazon or eBay

[@ABCDuwachui]

I'm off to say goodbye to the Queen right now!

[@ABCDuwachui]

And what an experience that was.

[@RaCarolyn]

Love this song

[@rodwillis4080]

A beautiful wedding song! Making love....and.....moves me!

[@faznout]

@ChefBrianGriess - I didn't diss So Damn Happy "SO HARD" as you put it. I just enjoy this album a lot more than So Damn Happy. One thing I do like more about So Damn Happy is that the music is a bit of a variety when it comes to how each song sounds. This new one to many of the songs sound the same. The nice thing is that on this album Aretha high notes are pretty good. She only had one or two high notes on So Damn Happy.

[@faznout]

Part 1 - The new album is out and I have to say it's a heck of a lot better than So Damn Happy and the Christmas album. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give the album a 8.5 I'd give it a 10 but the only reason why I don't is because all of the songs except for 3 sound excactly the same and Aretha's son Eddie singing His Eye Is On The Sparrow on the the album to me has nothing to do with A WOMAN FALLING OUT OF LOVE. Eddie should have taken the song and put it on his own album.

[@faznout]

Part 4 - You can also tell which songs were recorded before and after the weight loss. Aretha has been talking about releasing this album for the past 5 years and finally did. So some of these songs were recorded quite sometime ago. But unfortunitly this album wont do very well cause Aretha has done a horrible job of promoting her music in the last 10 years. The only way in todays time your gonna see success in sales is to promote the right way. Music video's, radio play, and so on.

[@faznout]

Part 3 - Plus the songs that Aretha sang in concert in the past few years that she would always say this is from the new LP aren't on the album. The way she's promoting this album is about A WOMAN FALLING OUT OF LOVE, and moving on, but a few of the songs on the album have absolutly nothing to to with a relationship between a man and a woman going good or bad. It's kinda of puzzling to me as to why those songs are on there. Maybe she ran out of songs and was just filling in the blanks.

[@faznout]

Part 2 - As far as the voice on a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 8.5 Her singing on this album is a lot better than it was on the Christmas album and a whole lot better than So Damn Happy. Except for a couple of songs on this album, Aretha's "Falsetto" is a bit to much and you really can't understand what she's singing. About 95% of the singing is "Falsetto" But you can tell she took the time to really get it right vocally, especially with the high notes.

[@gooffgoff89]

And considering Aretha was battling cancer and was quiet about it during that time.

[@lisaaugustin5400]

Dont come for me people ! No shade, this pic of Aretha reminds me of Miss Piggy the muppet, no shade they are both beautiful glamorous dolls !!!! I like Aretha been listening to her for years !!!

[@user-uf5rr6kh9h]

Smh...how was this even necessary to say? all thoughts don't need to fall from your lips.

[@cheriehawthorne9246]

Can you post the pic of Miss Piggy so we can compare??

[@dlondy5319]

Its true, I imediately thought of Miss Piggy.

[@user-uf5rr6kh9h]

Sthu.

[@sirblack1619]

​@dlondy5319 Looking at your Pic you really don't have room to speak on looks troll doll.
