[@marilynwaaldijk_howell1320]

THE VERY FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS SONG , I NEVER KNEW WHO WAS SINGING, SINCE I NEVER HEARD IT FROM THE BEGINNING, .....BUT CERTAIN WAYS IN WHICH IT WAS DONE, MADE ME SEARCH FOR THE BEST PERSON AS FAR AS I WAS CONCERNED , WHO SANG IT THE BEST, AS IN , THE WAY I FIRST HEARD IT DONE ,.. AND IT WAS NOT DIANA ROSS,.. IT WAS HANDS DOWN , MISS ARETHA FRANKLIN,(... . MAY OUR DEAR LORD GOD ALMIGHTY BLESS AND REST HER BEAUTIFUL SOUL)... I'M JUST SO SAD , SO BUMMED OUT THAT I FOUND THE VERSION I HEARD, ALL THOSE MANY YEARS AGO. ONE YEAR AFTER SHE DIED ,. SAD AND HEARTBROKEN...!!!!!.. BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE GONE TO ANY OF HER CONCERTS , AND MOST DEFINITELY REQUESTED HER SING THIS FOR ME,.!!!!!..... THIS SONG,. IT'S MEANING , AND SO ESPECIALLY THE WAY IT WAS DONE / SUNG ,.. REALLY MAKES ME CRY. .. 🤔🤨🥰😭🥰😢🤗👏👏👏👏👏🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾❤️💯🎀.

I remember when Aretha's album "Love All the Hurt Away", came out, oh so many years ago... I fell in love with the entire LP. Ms. Aretha's high notes, are nothin' to be trifled with y'all... If you haven't checked out the LATHA album, please do so, I promise you won't be disappointed.

[@dancinonasmoothedge]

Bill Piechocki I feel in love it with much later after I bought the album on vinyl by mistake. When I heard her sing this song, I thought to myself, Aretha you are queen for real.”

You are right about the album I love all of Aretha's music

[@kandrenepuranda-coward6383]

[@juantasy]

Wow, the powerful, commanding, acrobatic voice of Aretha!!! Impressive!!!!!

[@juniorchong4553]

Incomparable, the real epitome of a soul goddess!

[@cathyshorts2972]

This song was first done by Diana Ross in 1980 for the movie Its My Turn. I love both versions and with each version you get a different emotion. To me Aretha never had a bad hit she knew how to take a song and make it her very on. And to me thats what makes a legendary singer one who can sing a song by another artist and turn it into a whole different masterpiece. WOW! Queen you did yo thang on this earth now your in the heavenly choir doing yo thang. Fly butterfly fly.

So many great songs from various “lost eras” of Aretha’s career - in this case before her ‘80s superstardom. She never had a bad album, though some of them were more fantastic than others.

I love this version, I love both and I don’t mean that in the competitive way catty fans do. I appreciate it how Aretha and Diana approached this song completely differently and in a way that was unique to their styles as singers. I love when artist have their own musical identities. They both delivered this song beautifully.

Cause rain aint gonna hurt me. Can i get an amen?

[@hardren101]

This is through n through a diana song but i respect n like aretha's version because when an artist covers an existing song one must always consider its frm that artist's perspective and this is aretha start to finish..n at 2:04 ..the twist on cause the rain aint gonna hurt me....typical aretha......Diana is pop n aretha is true soul n that what each represents on this song...

[@SmoothCinnamonX]

Absolutely! This is truly Diana's anthem and she owns it, but Aretha gave such a unique and beautiful spin to it. Kind of like how Stephanie Mills owns Home, but Diana still does a nice job on it, you know? Long live the Divas of soul!

I can't cover up my feelings In the name of love Or play it safe For a while that was easy And if living for myself Is what I'm guilty of Go on and sentence me I'll still be free [Chorus 1] It's my turn To see what I can see I hope you'll understand That this time's just for me [Verse 2] Because it's my turn With no apologies I've surrendered up the truth For those I've tried to please But now it's my turn Even though I don't have all the answers At least I know that I'll take my share of chances [Chorus 2] Ain't no use in holding on Because nothing stays the same So I'll let it rain Because the rain ain't going to hurt me And I'll let you go Although I know it won't be easy [Verse 2] It's my turn With no more room for lies For years I've seen my life Through someone else's eyes But now it's my turn To try and find my way And if I should get lost At least I'll own today Because it's my turn Yes, it's my turn [Chorus 2] [Chorus 1] [Verse 3] Because it's my turn To turn and say goodbye I sure would like to know That you're still on my side Because it's my turn It's my turn[x2] [Outro] To start from number one Trying to undo Some damage that's been done But now it's my turn To reach and touch the sky No one's going to say At least I didn't try It's my turn Yes, it's my turn It's my turn[x2]
