Aretha Franklin - Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing Lyrics






There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
There ain't nothing like the real thing
There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
There ain't nothing like the real thing

I see your picture hangin' on the wall
It can't see or come to me when I call your name
I realize it's just a picture in a frame

I read your letters when you're not near
But they don't move me
And they don't groove me like when I hear
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
There ain't nothing like the real thing

No other sound is quite the same as your name
No touch can do half as much to make me feel better
So let's stay together
Together, baby, together, together, together

I got some memories to look back on
And though they help me when you phone
I'm well aware nothing can take the place of being there

There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
There ain't nothing like the real thing
There ain't nothing like the real thing
There ain't nothing like the real thing
There ain't nothing like the real thing
There ain't nothing like the real thing

    There will never be anyone that will be able to fill you shoes, God ordained it so. He broke the mold when he created and anointed you to be the greatest singer on earth.

    I keep missing these. This is the 11th of April and just now catching this. Wow, and of course Aretha was spectacularly beautiful.

  13. Z.... A....

    Aretha I'm missing you 💔😔

  14. A.... M....

    Aint nobody like Ree! And she was THE REAL THING! 👑 🎤 🎶 👑

  15. M.... ....

    Another live performance of this song. LOVE it. And there’s the ghost note. Ree did it first. 🤗❤️💫✨

  16. j.... l....

    I think this is the first appearance of the ghost note that Aretha started and would later be made famous by Luther Vandross at 3:10

  17. a.... ....

    Sing Re! She was belting like her life depended on it. My goodness!

  18. S.... S....

    Resonance! Vibrato! That’s all I have to say 👏🏾👏🏾

  19. S.... B....

    A beautiful performance, and it's so obvious that the room full of other musicians love her so much. One peculiar thing about the clip is that it seems to switch to a flatter sound around the 1:58 mark. I've noticed this on other clips of this song, but at least we have the clip of the Queen in her glory. Sadly, this would be the last time she won a Grammy in the 70s. Thank you for posting this.

    S.... B....

    It seemed to be a better sound quality at 1:58 to me more clear

    S.... B....

    Definitely wasn’t flat coming from a Musician

  20. b.... h....

    Wow!! That was amazing!! Miss her so much...😘😘😘🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤💚❤💚💚

  21. a.... w....

    let them cumming baby Barbara thank you! Love you my Queen Aretha!

  22. L.... M....

    These performances are absolutely incredible! Her voice was so clear and powerful with a ring to it! The Doyenne of singers!

    L.... M....

    yes I've always said that Aretha's voice has a ring to it, and that her voice is truly an instrument in and of itself. Nobody has a voice like Aretha. ALL HAIL THE QUEEN, THE QUEEN OF SOUL, MS ARETHA LOUISE FRANKLIN, LONG LIVE THE QUEEN.

  23. L.... W....

    wow!!!!! Aretha was just amazing!!! it is quite clear why she was and still is the queen of soul! :) May she rest in peace! have mercy!!!

  24. A.... F....

    Amazing performance ❤️ Thanks for sharing
