Your Onny Today's topic, Aretha Franklin
she get bye You're All I Need to

2
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:20.079
get By. There are several notable
cover versions of the song. I'm Gail

00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:37.359
Nobles, Johnny Mathis and Denise Williams, Tony Orlando and Don and some others

4
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:44.200
have cover versions of the song You're
All I Need to Get By. It

5
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:52.000
was originally recorded by R and B
soul duo Marvin Gay and Tammy Terrell and

6
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:59.679
released on Motown Records to Meal label
in nineteen sixty eight. The song was

7
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:06.040
written by Nicholas Ashrad and Valerie Simpson. It became one of the few Motown

8
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:14.200
recordings of the nineteen sixties that was
not recorded with the familiar Motown sound.

9
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:22.959
Instead, the song had a more
soulful and gospel oriented theme surrounding it that

10
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:30.040
was influenced by the writers, who
also sing background vocals in the recording,

11
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:37.439
sharing vocals in a church choir in
New York City. Your All I Need

12
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:42.239
to Give By was a great song
for Aretha Franklin to sing, and she

13
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:49.719
recorded the song as a single in
nineteen seventy one. The song was also

14
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:57.840
included on her compilation album Aretha's Greatest
Hits. Released later the same year.

15
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:05.920
Her version peaked at number nineteen on
the Billboard Hot one hundred and number three

16
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:14.479
on the Hot Soul Singles chart.
It also features in a twoenty twenty holiday

17
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:22.080
advertisement for Walmart. Most people love
the original version of You're All I Need

18
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:28.759
to Get by. Aretha knew how
to sing her version without leaving the original

19
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:35.120
way of singing it, but still
singing it her way. Her version is

20
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:40.919
loved too and already. The song
had a gospel sound, and Aretha was

21
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:49.319
also known for singing gospel. The
song was just right for Aretha Franklin.

22
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:57.360
Thank you for tuning in and listening
to today's topic. Aretha Franklin, You're

23
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.919
