~ Sweet Passion and Aretha Arrives are two LPs by Aretha not properly explored nor promoted in their own time, still fresh in 2018, and definitely worth re-visiting. The Queen of Soul - honour our living legends, including Lamont Dozier. Classic dance here ~ Cheers, DAVEDJ ~

Love this song. It is such a feel good song. The studio version is good, BUT the LIVE performance is amazing. Between Aretha’s personality and enthusiasm on stage, the band, HB Barnum’s direction, the background singing going back and forth with Aretha, the audience being totally into the moment; this live performance of this song is just SOOOOO much better to listen to AND watch.

anything that aretha touches is pure platinum, RIP Aretha

I tell you it sure does feel weird saying Rest In Peace to Aretha Franklin this beautiful woman had been around 6 decades and and was still relevant today

I have this album by her. My favorite tracks are “Touch Me Up”, “No One Could Ever You More” and “Sunshine Will Never Be The Same” plus the number one soul single “Break It To Me Gently”!!!

It's crazy to think that, even though she passed away at 76, she made music for 62 years!

Rest in peace Queen of Soul!

The album was produced by Lamont Dozier except for “Break It to Me Gently”, which was produced by Marvin Hamlisch and Carole Bayer Sager.

You know the song is good when there's a blogspot link at the start of the video. This is great.

One of my favorite songs! RIP Aretha Franklin!

My late uncle, Steven James Ferguson (1955-2009), loved anything she sang. He was a big fan of hers. I got all of his albums when he passed away. I have a fan of “The Queen of Soul” since 1985!!! RIP Aretha!!!

OW WOW... THIS REMIND ME OF MY FATHER.... HE LOVED ANYTHING SHE SONG..... DAD RIP...... LOVE YOU.... YOUR DAUGHTER DEE......

FUNKY DISCO AS ONLY ARETHA CAN !!!

Aretha’s one night stand anthem. This is definitely one of my favorites by the Queen, and as much as I love the live performance I love the studio version more. The versus for me I looooove.

this song is like a time machine.....

EVERYTHING Aretha Touch Me UP.

Love this song so much. Of course the live songs are more better. But them Back up singers are on fire as always

Good Record.

A great song to dance from Aretha Franklin which i have been waiting to buy it again in cd but the cd has not been released, wow

Hope the Franklin family finally releases the Sweet Passion project

The best

Note to self: Rhythm & horn arrangements by Mckinley Jackson. That’s James Gadson, Scott Edwards, Lee Ritenour
