Aretha Franklin - Another Night (Official Music Video)

[@jerryarmstrong8640]

I was learning some English here in Brazil in thr 80s and my teacher challenged me by saying if I could write down the music words of this song although I was pretty basic in the language I got 67% of the entire song...nice memories...

[@nicholassheffo5723]

Please give this one a 4K upgrade at some point.

[@firelord_ozai]

Just discovered this song and it's a bop for me

[@ahveekhy]

A artist that such longevity.

[@sunnysmith6535]

My favorite song by her 👏👏

[@garycarr3857]

1986

[@tashee8772]

One of her most underrated tunes.

[@royfster]

Thank you for that. I wrote the lyric and it was such a gift to have her sing this one!! No one could have done it like her.

[@tashee8772]

Roy Freirich Have always loved this song. My aunt bought it for me on a 45, when I spent the summer with her in 1985 - I was nine at the time. To this day, this song makes me think of that Summer, playing it on a record player, at her house. By any chance, would you know where the video was filmed? It’s a beautiful song and have listened to it a lot over the past few days.

[@edfiglar969]

I completely agree with you

[@FormerTVAddict]

It was the third single from the album after the first two went top 10, this one didn't go as high but it was my favorite song from the album, probably my favorite of hers from all of the 1980's.

[@bclmqd]

@@royfster ... thank you so much for this song!!! I got a damn good grade for an assignment at uni writing about it ... in French and Jérriais!!! The old prof didn't know what hit him!! Merci bê des faits!

[@OneAdam12Adam]

I believe she was 44 years old when she recorded this and launched her comeback. How great is that? How many artists can sound this strong and to the charts at that age. She is timeless.

[@__-ze6qj]

Not many lol.

[@charlenesaunders2632]

Truth!!!

[@jjsteel43]

Just a few other R&B singers from her time like Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson and Tina Turner besides Aretha. They all did good in the 80's also

[@mic1240]

JMJArkansas40. Indeed (but Tina Turner was a rock artist more than R&B). Aretha had #1 with Get It Right in 83, and started off 80s with big movie and song (Freedom) from Blues Brothers. She never really went away, her songs so part of music history spanning generations and genres

[@sirblack1619]

She was 42 when this was released.

[@waynei1294]

I made my mind up, I can make, even if I got to fake it. Ill keep surviving. Ms Areatha. The one and only. This never gets old and just speaks to all the BS in life that we just need to step away from.

This song really gets into deep into your heart and right into your throat and impossible to not feel those knots in those areas make you tear up for Any relationship broken or missing and also be energized to have the energy to move on. Fantastically put together

[@Brownjb81]

You don't mess with the Queen of Soul. Enough Said!

[@barjumbo1969]

This song is, SERIOUSLY, funky! She had a, GREAT, 'second-coming,' in terms of her career, in the 80's; this song, 'Who's Zooming Who?' and the duet with George Michael, for, 'I knew you were waiting.' And, when, you are talking about the gretest female vocalist of all-time, I CANNOt think of ANYONE who tops her!

[@rjjcms1]

This was her follow-up single in the UK to her number 11 hit Who's Zooming Who.

[@RobertoYanzanny]

Back in 1985 when I worked for Dino Delaurentiis, Freeway of Love was played so much in the radio, that one day I heard it so much in the same station that I turned to others radio stations and I counted five radio stations playing freeway of love as the same time. Man, ZI am not lying to you , I love Aretha Franklin !!!!!

[@oneloveatatime]

[@stevewilliams8944]

When Aretha's voice goes down, way down at the beginning of the song it grabs you deep inside. No one can really do her songs justice. Another Night showcases her unrivalled gigantic talent.

[@CuirPhotodotNet]

At the beginning of the video when she told the poster and clenched her fists in anger and exasperation....I just broke down....she had such a conviction in her voice....love her....love her....

[@justincarter1170]

Just heard this song today and I can't stop listening to it. Rest In Heaven Queen

[@royfster]

Justin, thanks for saying so. Wrote the lyric for this when I was writing as roy freeland and have always been so honored to have Aretha bring it to a whole other place!

[@BarkleyConners]

What other songs did you write that we might know?

[@SouLoveReal]

This song healed a lot of broken, and often angry, hearts. Back in 1985 (I was 29), I would go to the I-Beam Club in San Francisco's Haight-Asbury District, a gay club, now in the annals of San Francisco gay history. The DJ I knew would play it in one of his sets at just after 10:30PM, right when the place began to thump. The floor would get packed. Everyone in the place sang along to the chorus of the song. Right where it reached, *"My man, I don't need you to be bringing me down,"* the whole place would erupt, yell out and act out the motions like in the video. *(I did not know there was a video of the song at the time.)* By then, everyone on the dance floor and along the walls would break out dancing like crazy. Total pandemonium. They would be dancing on the barstools. The bar tenders would be dancing on the bar counters. If it was your time to get over someone who did you wrong, THAT was your chance for the evening. It worked for me. One of my all-time favorite Aretha Franklin songs. *(PS: A regular to the I-Beam as a patron, and a few times as a live-to-track performer, was the legendary, fabulous Sylvester, who, by the way, performed backups on this song and several others on the "Who's Zoomin' Who?" album.)*

[@BarkleyConners]

Thanks for sharing this story ! I went to I Beam once in the 80s when I was vaca in SF - loved it - peace out

[@christinewalker3933]

This song got me through my divorce. You see, I still dearly loved my husband ❤️

[@piustwelfth]

This is one of Aretha's best videos. What's noticeable at the beginning of the song is how her voice was much lower in the '80s compared to previous decades. Aretha started out as a high soprano (she could have been an opera singer), but the chain smoking caught up with her in 1980. Her voice was noticeably different on her first album at Arista.

[@nonafaustinesimmons3076]

Imagine if she had never picked up a cigarette!

[@piustwelfth]

Aretha started smoking at age 13! For most of her adult life, she smoked up to 3 packs per day. She didn't quit until 1992 when she was 50. At the time, she said smoking was "messing with voice". I could have told her that in 1980! Unfortunately, it was like one of the main causes of her pancreatic cancer.

[@Lee-sv8su]

She was very lucky to keep her voice smoking as she did still awesome
