Franklin, Aretha - Rescue Me Lyrics

I remember listening to this when I was a little 6 year old and dancing round the living room ! Happy Days, thank you, Fontella! Xxxx

Gajarda

shares title " Queen of soul with Aretha Franklin PS

OOOH YEAH KANE REMEMBER THIS MY QUEEN MAMA HOOK ME UP ON HER AND MY QUEEN MAMA CAN SING THIS SONG LIKE THIS ORIGINAL LADY HERE

Da gab es mal einen Film in den 80-90ern, mit diesem Song als Filmmusik. Eine Klasse, die auf Klassenfahrt gehen, und bei einem Jugendlichen die Daunenjacke nicht mehr aufgeht, weil der Reißverschluss klemmt : "rescue me..." kennt jm den Film?!?

Still the best dance music!

This song is really depressing .. could be used for some sick warp films...

Sister Act....

My uncle, Raynard Miner, wrote this!

And so did Fontella.

I’m her granddaughter! Follow me on Instagram! @jhaimusic

Jerry Blavat (Geeter with the Heater, DJ, Philadelphia) played the hell out of this on his TV show. Not that I minded, great song, good beat, great dance song. I'll give in a 95.

270 people aren't rescued. So glad I'm not a part of that 270 club. lol

São Domingos, Bahia, Brasil ❤️❤️❤️

Classic.

She was in my Granny’s graduating class at Soldan High School in St. Louis! Let’s go Class of 1958!

I have a love it for músic

Come on baby and be my man 🥰

I’m lonely and I’m blue and I need you 🥰

I love this song

I heard this song on the radio at work over our radio which was playing the true oldies channel

rescue me!!!

Rescue me
Take me in your arms
Rescue me
With your tender charm
Because I'm lonely and I'm blue and I need you to rescue me

245 people weren't rescued

Well I apologize to Ms Franklin and Ms Bass - I thought it was the former but listening now it's obviously not.

2019 I am so glad that my baby boomer parents raised me on this amazing music. I love it to this very day. <3

This is a really good song. I wonder if the guitar parts are hard to learn.

For the longest time I thought this was sung by Aretha Franklin. That's not to knock Fontella of course. What a voice!

I remember the DJs in Miami used to pronounce her name as "Fontella Base" when they'd introduce this song, so I assumed Fontella Bass was the group's name, not the name of the woman singing. Maybe it was because of the strong bass lead-in and close out to this song. Just a coincidence, i guess.

What brought me here ....I'm sick 😷so please somebody,anybody
Rescue me thus is a good sick theme song. 😂 oh

Take your love and conquer every part
'Cause I'm lonely
And I'm blue
I need you
And your love too
Come on and rescue me
Come on, baby, and rescue me
Come on, baby, and rescue me
'Cause I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Rescue me
Take me in your arms
Rescue me
I want your tender charm
'Cause I'm lonely
And I'm blue
I need you
And your love too
Come on and rescue me (come on baby)
Take me baby (take me baby)
Hold me baby (hold me baby)
Love me baby (love me baby)
Can't you see that I need you baby
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Rescue me

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm

I love this song 😍😍😍😍🥶🤢

I know who's singing this song I still always think it's Aretha Franklin

One of the few sixties soul music acts not to come from motown and sax stables.

I remember when I first heard this song, I thought it was Aretha Franklin.

When I first heard this song I swore it was Aretha

Just 1yr. of age when Fontella Bass 'Rescue Me' R.I.H😇

just one word-great-PS

this just cooks big time

Did any good song begin better?

I rewind it every time when I hear it with my uncle

This song is my favorite

This song should be in the guardians of the galaxy vol 3

troppo bella

Love this song ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love Fontella Bass. She had a voice on her.

The Queen of Soul is an understatement- this girl had it all! PS

To the kids: yea..no this isn't Aretha )
Her sort of cute cousin)

Just so there's no confusion over this, this masterpiece... Not even one world, lyric or note... Of what the dear lady speaks here:


Rescue me
Oh take me in your arms
Rescue me
I want your tender charms
Cause i'm lonely and i'm blue
I need you and your love too

[Chorus]
Come on and rescue me
Come on baby and rescue me
Come on baby and rescue me
Cause i need you, by my side
Can't you see that i'm lonely
Rescue me

[Verse 2]
Come on and take my heart
Take your love and conquer every part
Cause i'm lonely and i'm blue
I need you and your love too

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Rescue me
Oh take me in your arms
Rescue me
I want your tender charms
Cause i'm lonely and i'm blue
I need you and your love too
Come on and rescue me
Come on baby, take me baby, hold me baby, love me baby
Can't you see that i need you baby
Can't you see that i'm lonely
Rescue me

[Outro]
Come on and take my hand
Come on baby and be my man
Cause i love you 'cause i want you
Can't you see that i'm lonely?
Take me baby
Love me baby
Need me baby
Can't you see that i'm lonely?
Rescue me, rescue me.......

Told my mother (b.1944) 'y'all had the best music hands down!" She was blown away that I was fan of 50s and 60s golden oldies

RESCUE US TO THE 63 YEARS OLD PLEASE FONTELLA.(TELL ME MY FATHER)

I wish I was around in this era! What a tune! 💙x

A favorite song of mine since I was a kid, even though I wasn't born yet when the song originally came out.

Anybody here from Air America movie?

R.I.P Fontella Bass 3/7/1940 - 26/12/2012 Aged 72 .

"your Sister" Samaria ":( 🇬🇧 "Same as Maria"

O dear O dear.....

Neuroticism at it's darkest .... Forgetting at the time that God Will Not be MOCKED, nor DUPLICATED

This is a perfect song to a lipsync in Rupaul's Drag Race .

This song was released nine years before I was born. I absolutely love ❤️ it! Like numerous others I thought it was Aretha when I first heard the song years ago. Unfortunately quality music is a thing of the past. Those artists who still put their all into their music are ignored you the tone deaf masses!

An unappreciated star.

The best of times and the great tunes captured the moments. Super vocal, great arrangement, and the bass riff that lives in my mind forever. Just a giant WOW !!

Now and then there is a song that seems indispensable - "Rescue Me" is a tune we'll all be singing soon.

JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S ALMOST 53 YEARS AGO TO THE DAY THAT I WENT TO THE OLDHAM ASTORIA LATER TO BECOME BAILEYS NIGHTCLUB WITH MY FIRST REALGIRL FRIEND SUSAN STANHOPE TO WATCH AND DANCE TO THE MAGNIFICENT FONTELLA BASS.WHERE'S THE TIME MACHINE?

Fontella brought me back!
Y'all remember Brenda and the Tabulations?

I always thought it was Aretha Franklin

THE BEST SONGS EVER I LOVE YOU FOREVER. MAKES YOU MOVE YOUR BODY. <3 :) <3

the most under rated singer,writer by the music industry, R.I.P. God Bless.

she is for me the queen of soul PGS

[10/06/2018]

Fue una de mis favoritas, predilectas, durante mis años de mocedad. thank you.

If there is one collective title to describe this track and others by Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Sonny Boy williamson, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters & Little Walter it is "Chess Masterpieces".

I don't think this song will every fade away because it's in films and every where and its just a classy song

This song is soulful. And yes I thought Aretha Franklin sang this song too

One of St. Louis finest

RIP ARETHA. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THIS WAS YOUR SONG!!!

Kerry weaver in the shower in ER

J'ai eu la chance de la voir et de l'écouter lors d'une soirée à l'hôtel Méridien à Paris

This is music!! Yeah!!😍😍👏👏

We for a long time thought this was Aretha Franklin.....

Nam 444th Trans. '65-'66...

I love this brings back memories at school jamming - even though I was 10 at the time - still bust it out in my 60s

This song has brought me so many memories .as a child I remember dancing with my mom in the kitchen to this song.

#THECLASSICS (-_-) NOURISHMENT FOR THE SOUL! !!!

I don't really get the Aretha confusion. I guess a casual listen might conjure up Aretha, but the more I listen to this song the less alike Fontella Aretha sound. Funny that Fontella was doing the "Aretha thing" 2 years before Aretha herself would do it. Yes, I know Aretha was recording during most of the 60s prior to Atlantic, but at the time of "Rescue Me", Aretha was doing mellow jazz-pop. If anything, I wonder if Aretha was listening to Fontella & was influenced by her. To make matters more confusing, Aretha recorded a song called "Save Me" on her 2nd Atlantic album. In the early 90s things came full circle when Aretha sang "Rescue Me" for a Pizza Hut commercial. One more comment & I promise I'll shut up... "Rescue Me" by Fontella Bass sounds a bit like what might have resulted from Aretha recording for Motown.

What a learned and intriguing observation.

When women were women and blacks were less violent.

one of the BEST bass lines EVER!

classic oldie! one of the very BEST
RIP Fontella Bass

Wow she sounds a lot like Aretha
