- I have such wonderful memories of turning on the FM radio in the morning and there she was, Aretha singing this song and waking me up in the best way possible. She put the sunshine in my mornings when I was in grade 7 near the end of November and the walk to parochial school was like walking on a cloud. I loved it right from the piano opening that Aretha played I was going to love it and I still do.
Stevie Wonder had composed and recorded "Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)" in 1967. He had just released the stellar "Innervisions" in 1973 just before almost getting killed in a well documented incident where a logging truck lost its load into the vehicle Stevie was in while on his way to another tour date.
Aretha wanted to work with Stevie, so he played "Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)" for her and she recorded her version on September 7, 1973. It was the only song she recorded that day in the Atlantic's Manhattan studio. Aretha herself played the melancholy piano on the intro and she was supported by the best in the business, Hugh McCracken on guitar, Donny Hathaway on electric piano, Richard Tee on organ, Chuck Rainey on bass, Bernard Purdie on drums and Ken Bichel on synthesizer.
Background vocals were provided by Ann Clark, Pat Smith and Margaret Branch giving the song a gospel taste. Arif Mardin sharpened the mix by adding strings, horns and a flute solo. The song topped the R&B chart for one week and clinched the deal to re-sign Aretha to Atlantic Records.
Daydreaming is my absolute favorite Aretha song and this one is second. When I hear her sing these I get still get goosebumps. This one was a perfect choice for remix, a little off beat but endearing, she sounds soooo like a woman in love in both. I always thought she should have covered Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music". Who knows, maybe one day I will learn how to AI a performance of her doing that. If they can create Val Kilmer's voice with AI for film dialog that means experimenting with creating new performances from vocalists cannot be far away. That blows my mind. - Hudba
My favorite Aretha song..Thank you Papacat. You made my day..🎵🎼 I guess I'll RAP on your door, TAP on your window pane...
Aretha Franklin was a musical and cultural icon.
There is no denying The QUEEN of SOUL is irreplaceable, and there never will be another like her.. Aretha's music helped me through some tough times, and lifted my spirits way up. the gift of her music remains to inspire us all. May the Queen of Soul rest in eternal peace. ❤️ RESPECT..
Five stars for this masterpiece. Love it ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
Amen!!!!!!
Five stars, on a 1-4 rating scale!
7 stars cos whynaut
In my opinion, this is one of the greatest songs ever. The trouble was, these great songs were just too short, and now that wrong has been righted! This absolute masterpiece is summer in a song.
Thank you I have always loved this one, its so evocative of that time and Aretha simply kills it.
@@DJDiscoCat 5 days on and I'm still constantly playing it. It's just perfect, everything from the musicality to the backing singers, and as you say Aretha smashes it out of the park. The extended instrumental breaks just take this up several levels. Still blown away by this, I just know I'll be playing it all summer...and beyond! Thank you!!
Excellent song
When she passed, Sirius XM Heart & Soul played Aretha songs 24/7. For two weeks straight! I had never knew her catalog of music is that vast. Having been able to listen to most of her songs, it's extremely hard to choose a favorite.
"Until You Come Back To Me" is definitely among my favorites by Aretha.
"Day Dreaming" is another one.
But it's "Wonderful" that had me crying on the bus home after work. Listening to that beautiful song, after she had passed... I couldn't help it.
I FEEL YOU ITS OKAY THOES WERE THE DAZE
Aretha and her recorded legacy were National Treasures !
She's a Real SuperStar! What a Beautiful. Genuine Entertainer!💖🎶💖
Boy, Aretha Franklin could sure sing...what a beautifully done song...sing it Aretha! 💖🎶
My favorite song by Aretha. Thank you very much for posting this!!! Excellent job.

A very elegant song that is presented here. Aretha softly conveys beautiful emotions with a passion, and, a tempting desire of deep love. Thanks for playing this classic from a faraway time.

Daydreaming and this tune are also my favorite tunes from Aretha, and this remix gave me goosebumps too. Another one from Aretha that does this is Wholly Holy. And I'm not even religious!

Anything Aretha!
My favorite Aretha song. Everything about this song sings brillance.
It was raining like blazes here in South Georgia and the incredible blaze of light was not lightning. That was Aretha Franklin smiling down from heaven, thanks to the respect given this song by the one end only DiscoCat. The extended rendition is fantastic, and the song is absolutely beautiful. And it was co-written by Stevie Wonder, too. She was called the Queen of Soul. There will never be another Aretha Franklin. It’s certain. Enjoy this masterpiece. I sure do.
RIP ARETHA FRANKLIN. GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.
Miss Aretha! Love this song!
Thanks for making me 13 again. Carefree days of my youth in the summer of 74. Listen to this on the radio & ride my Schwinn Stingray with the banana seat, blowing Bazooka bubble gum bubbles ,warm summer sunshine on my face while playing this over in my mind.
And you mention Donny Hathaway as being a part of this song. You made a great mix of him & Roberta Flack in "Where is the love". Doing this keeps these great artists no only alive, but allows the youth of today to experience true artists & true musicians with depth, talent and style. Thanks again.
Superb 👌👌👌🌹🌹🌹
She's a powerhouse for sure..
Wow haven't heard this song in ages😊
My Mother's Favorite female singer of ALL TIME. RIP Mrs Martha Jane Bealer.
Just listening to the instrumentals, I'd never have imagined how Aretha's soaring vocals could change this music into one of the greatest R&B hits ever produced. Beautiful arrangement, beautifully delivered.❤
DJDC. YOU ARE A GENIUS! THANK YOU FOR THIS AWESOME EXTENDED CLASSIC.
Ohhhh THANK YOU! 'Retha, Queen of Soul
My Sister would play this over and over. I fell so in love with her voice! She's a Genuine Star! A true Musician and a Beautiful Soul!
This sounds soooo lovely, DJ Disco Cat!

Love this song!!! And I really enjoy reading your write-ups! Bernard Perdie is a living legend! He is famous for the Perdie Shuffle on the drums. That is the beat that Toto's drummer (Jeff Porcaro) used for Rosanna!
