"Ain't No Way" is a song written by singer-songwriter Carolyn Franklin and sung by her elder sister Aretha Franklin as the B-side to her 1968 hit, "(Sweet Sweet Baby) Since You've Been Gone". This song should not be confused with a different song of the same title, recorded by Aretha Franklin on her 2003 CD So Damn Happy: "Ain't No Way" by Barry J. Eastmond and Gordon Chambers.
    Written by Carolyn Franklin, her sister Aretha recorded the song and released it on her acclaimed Lady Soul album. Released as the B-side of her top-five hit single, "(Sweet Sweet Baby) Since You've Been Gone", the song peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 9 on the Hot R&B Singles Chart in 1968. Carolyn and members of the Sweet Inspirations performed backing vocals on the track. The Sweet Inspirations' founder Cissy Houston showcased her operatic like upper range during Franklin's bridges and the ending of the track.
    In 1983, Whitney Houston made her world debut on Merv Griffin Show singing the tune with mother Cissy Houston.[1] Whitney performed the track several times during her 1994 U.S. Bodyguard World Tour. In 1997, she performed it live on her 1997 HBO special, Classic Whitney Live from Washington, D.C., and the 1999 VH-1 Divas Live special as a duet with Mary J. Blige.
    In 2005, Blige covered the track as a duet with Patti LaBelle off LaBelle's Classic Moments album, with their version peaking at number 18 on the R&B charts. LaBelle had performed the song as a tribute to Franklin at the Essence Awards in 1994.
    Christina Aguilera performed the song to great acclaim in a tribute to Aretha during the 53rd Grammy Awards. Also, Amber Riley, who portrays Mercedes Jones in Glee, covered the song for the show. In 2011, Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart covered the song in their collaborative album, Don't Explain. In 2013, singer Sasha Allen performed the song in The Voice. In December 2017, singer Demi Lovato covered the song for Spotify Singles[2].
    In 2017, British Hip-Hip group Corners sampled the song in their track of the same name on their debut album, “Corners”.
    Lead vocal and piano by Aretha Franklin
    Background vocals by the Sweet Inspirations and Carolyn Franklin
    Additional background vocals by Cissy Houston
    Produced by Jerry Wexler

    I’m sorry I mean no disrespect to Aretha but idk why she’s always considered above Patti vocally in list after list. This is hands down the most emotionally evocative performance I’ve ever seen. I’m literally shaken to my core. Even crazier is that she is wayyyy past her vocal prime here and still outdoes any other singer I’ve seen. Sure some have done this song more smoothly but Patti had the power and emotion in her voice. I can’t explain it. I NEED this performance to be on streaming so I can play it 24/7 and in the car.

    Aretha was looking like'Don't sing it too good,now'. I've seen a lot of folks cover this song and I'll say this; nobody can sing it like Aretha sang it in the studio and nobody can sing it like Patti Labelle live. I don't think Aretha was throwing shade, she just is not good at showing emotion. The Queen of Soul, The Queen of Rock and Roll, and The Queen of Rythmn and Blues in one place who could ask for more?

    Patti just said in an interview about 2 months ago ( June of 2023 ) that when she came off the stage, Aretha walked up towards her and said ( into Patti's ear because people were clapping and there was a standing ovation still going on. That ( " You did good, I liked that !" ) and Patti replied, " But nobody can do it like you, girl! Ill see you after the show." ) Then as Patti turned back toward the stage, she saw Tina Turner and they embraced each other in an elegant, classy, friendly way. I've only ever heard Tina speak highly and respectfully of Patti LaBelle and Vice Versa Patti really respected and admired Tina for giving great shows and dancing in them pumps with them legs and not lip syncing a single word, she ( Patti ) said, now that's a real woman entertainer. Because we all know what Patti thinks of them so called Diva Stars who have strobe lights and pirotechnics and they're 30 feet from the edge of the stage because their microphone ain't even on and they can't even lip sync to their own songs. Yeah Patti might need teleprompters to help her remember her words but we know one thing is fo sho and that's, that Patti IS SINGING! Even when she messes up she'll tell us. I've got to give y'all what GOD gives me for y'all tonight. And here in August almost September 2023 she's 79 years young and still attracting new fans to come to see and hear her perform. She's a Class Act ( that don't play, so don't y'all dare get too close to her and step on one of her corns ! ) Lol She really tells people who she lets on stage to sing and dance with her, that ! ) 🫢😉😜 We Love You Patti !!!

    There was no reason for Aretha to hug Patti the way she did; as if she didn’t want to even touch Patti.
