    Video footage (with remastered audio) taken from a Venezuelan TV broadcast "Renny Presenta" RCTV Year 1968.
    Lyrics
    You better think (think)
    Think about what you're trying to do to me
    Think (think, think)
    Let your mind go, let yourself be free
    Let's go back, let's go back
    Let's go way on, way back when
    I didn't even know you
    You couldn't have been too much more than ten (just a child)
    I ain't no psychiatrist, I ain't no doctor with degrees
    But, it don't take too much high IQ's
    To see what you're doing to me
    You better think (think)
    Think about what you're trying to do to me
    Yeah, think (think, think)
    Let your mind go, let yourself be free
    Oh, freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom)
    Oh, freedom, yeah, freedom
    Freedom (freedom), oh oh freedom (freedom)
    Freedom, oh freedom
    Hey, think about it, think about it
    There ain't nothing you could ask
    I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
    But I was gonna change, but I'm not
    If you keep doing things I don't
    You better think (think)
    Think about what you're trying to do to me
    Think (think)
    Let your mind go, let yourself be free
    People walking around everyday
    Playing games, taking scores
    Trying to make other people lose their minds
    Ah, be careful you don't lose yours, oh
    Think (think)
    Think about what you're trying to do to me, ooh
    Think (think)
    Let your mind go, let yourself be free
    You need me (need me)
    And I need you (don't you know)
    Without eachother there ain't nothing people can do, oh
    Think about it, baby (What are you trying to do me)
    Yeah, oh baby, think about it now, yeah
    (Think about, forgiveness, dream about forgiveness)
    To the ball, forgiveness
    Think about it baby
    To the ball, forgiveness
    To the ball, forgiveness

    The Genius Aretha Franklin wrote this. This song was personal for her during this time. She doesn’t get enough credit for her songwriting. More people are just realizing how amazing she was on piano. Elton John, Carol king, Tony Bennett, Mariah Carey, and etc say she was not only one of their favorite singers but pianist. She taught her own self how to play. The undisputed Queen 👑

    the freedom anthem!! still after all these years. when I think of all the struggles of minorities to be free from oppression and discrimination, this song still rings in my consciousness. the protest of the queen of soul!

    It is wonderful the nice people who put this video together. We all need to constantly think about the other person, loving ourselves first and then to go out and do good for the Lord; Freedom is peace of mind; Aretha and the girls did this music video just great! I love it from then to now, and hereinafter, Enjoy! Think, Love is the Key to help us all! Love! Minister LadyT!❤

      @@eddieandrews3854 She had so many background singers and from this video footage I really can't tell for sure who they are. I do know her sisters are not on this particular video. I believe it's Charnessa Jones, Evelyn Greene, and Wyline Ivy, but still not 100% sure. Of course someone is gonna come thru and say it's Carolyn and Erma Franklin or The Sweet Inspirations and it's not! 🙂 The Sweet Inspirations are actually doing the backing vocals on the song itself.
