Aretha Franklin - Day Dreaming (Official Lyric Video)

[@VerucaSaltyDog]

When I was a little girl we didnt have a lot of money but one Christmas I got a radio. I used to open the window to my room in our apartment and listen to Aretha on the local station. And Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly". Those womens' words touched my heart at such an early stage.

[@shalomirose6658]

Bless your Beautiful soul thank you for sharing 🙏

[@mariehoran3135]

Yes!!!! Me too. Not much money but had a little transistor radio and adored Aretha and Roberta! Wonderful wonderful memories indeed.

[@beckylazell516]

I walked down the aisle to this song ❤ when the doors opened and I saw my husband to be turn and smile, I felt so calm, and this beautiful song soundtracked the moment beautifully.

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.

[@beigenegress2979]

Aretha wasn’t afraid to let her background singer “do it.” Aretha’s sisters, Irma and Carolyn were her backup singers, and I think Cissy Houston may have recorded backing vocals with Aretha (and Luther, and many others). Fun fact: While the song “Respect” was written by legendary songwriter Otis Redding, but one of Aretha’s sisters suggested the Re,Re,Re,ReSPECT part as a addition when they recorded it!

[@kittykatz4001]

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.

She wrote this song 'Day Dreaming' and it received a Grammy nomination. It didn't win but I loving it 😊

[@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.

[@elizabethroberts2970]

Did you know she wrote that song regarding Dennis Edwards of the Temptations. My favorite was “Oh me, Oh my” also regarding Dennis Edwards. He eventually married a Pointer Sister; I think June or Bonnie, as I recollect. Just a little tidbit for trivia sake.

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.
