Lyrics:
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools
For five long years
I thought you were my man
But I found out
I'm just a link in your chain
Oh-wo-ah
You got me where you want me
I ain't nothing but your fool
You treated me mean
Oh, you treated me cruel
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools
Every chain
Has got a weak link
I might be weak, child
But I'll give you strength, yeah
You told me to leave you alone
My father said, "come on home"
My doctor said, "take it easy"
Oh, but your loving is much too strong
I'm added to your chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Your chain of fools
Oh, one of these mornings
The chain is gonna break
But up until then yeah
I'm gonna take all I can take, oh yeah
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Your chain of fools, oh
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain) Oh
Chain, chain, chain
Your chain of fools, oh yeah
*******************
An icon of 20th and 21st century music, the voice of the civil rights movement, and the undisputed Queen of Soul-there is only one Aretha Franklin. In her incredible six-decade career, Aretha evolved from teenage gospel star to reigning pop and R&B diva, recording classics like “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” “Chain Of Fools”, “Think” (lyrics by Aretha Franklin), definitive versions of the songs “Respect” and “I Say a Little Prayer”, and global hits like “Freeway Of Love,” “I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)”, and “A Rose Is Still A Rose.”
Altogether, 112 of her singles reached the charts, with 20 No. 1 R&B singles, the most ever by a female artist. She won 18 Grammy Awards (including the first eight trophies for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance) and, out of recognition for her for indelible contribution to American music and culture, received both the Presidential Medal Of Freedom and a Pulitzer Prize.
One of the "GREATEST" songs ever !!!!!
Excellence. Pure. Simple.
There will never be another Aretha or tuna turner😢
good ol' tuna. Never heard such a fishy woman before or since.
Now we're going to be facetious right ✅️
Not crazy about living in a world without Aretha...🌏
Ditto.....
Absolument magnifique ❤
En 2024 toujours d'actualité ❤
J'adoreee ❤❤❤
I'm 28. Was raised on Aretha. I'll never let soul die. ❤❤❤ God bless y'all.
You were raised right! ✌️😎
I' m 73 and grew up on motown etc. Too!😮😅😊
Keep it playing
I’m 54 and have loved this music all my life!.
I'm 70. Depending on ya.
Tonight I just want to let someone know how good God is. If you are sick, poor, depressed, stressed, abused, mentally challenged....🙌It does not matter. God will see you through if you just trust in God. If you haven't done this yet, wait no more and do it today. Give them all to God, he makes a way where there seems to be no way. Believe that he has your back no matter what as long as you trust, believe, and have faith in him. 🙌I hope this opens up someone's heart and lighten up there burden. Prayer can move mountains (My dad always told me this). Believe it and you will see it. God Bless you all.plz pray for my family to come to know about jesus💖🙏
This is one of those songs that I’m happy existed during my time on this planet 🤷🏼♂️🖤🤤
Queen of Soul nothing else you can say..
DddddďddzdźdďzďdďddzddďddďdďdDdddďdd§ddďddddzs§dď
HappyBirthdayArethaFranklin
Regardless of what she’s singing… goosebumps… every time.
THE QUEEN
Just one of my many favorites songs!! By: Ms. Franklin!!❤❤
Chain, chain, chain. Amazing voice. R.I.P
19 years of age and Boi this a funky groove that’ll never go outta style in my book, too bad my generation doesn’t appreciate Soul and authenticity
Possibly the greatest female vocalist ever !
Unique and superbly sublime vocalist!
No wonder she is the most charted female singer. My words are not enough !
There ain't no possibly about it. Her range, power and spot on pitch are unmatched
Right, also Linda Maria Ronstadt, Karen Carpenter. That sums it up for my lifetime.
@@petec9686absolutely. Her power and range is remarkable
Beautiful voice and music.
Probably my favorite Aretha tune, of many favorites. That's REAL Soul Pop Funk R&B folks. The guitar is swampy grittiness from the drop, and the bass...the whole thing man. It's 2 and a half minutes of glory.
Joe South playing the guitar
God Aretha really SANG with her heart AND soul.
She will forever be queen of soul 😊
What a gift . No other can be any better than
Aretha !
RIP Aretha Franklin 😢
When a song can raise the hair on your arms because of how it hits you, then you know you found something special.
She was an amazing performer. Her skills can't be duplicated!!!!!!!!!!
Jennifer Hudson comes very close ...'Respectfully' ~ But the cabal robbed her too. Those demons milk you in...And spit you out if you don't agree to their SICK agenda. I pray that Jennifer comes out if that evil trap ...To tell us her real storey ~ Those bastards murdered her family members. It's a "contract". I pray that Jennifer comes out of this to tell the world her truth . She's extremely gifted. With or without them. FACT. 💪💌💜👍
She is definitely great woman been through so much she wrote amazing songs
@Tiana Mckay hi same name 🥰🥰
Yes, she can’t be duplicated and she can be imitated, but it’s never going to be THE Aretha Franklin!
Rosie Gaines use to sing with Prince ....Rosie sounded so much like Aretha. Them two are on the same level with the voice.
RIP, Queen. May your music continue to ring in the minds of people around the world and inspire them to be greater than themselves.
She's like a fine wine never go bad always Aretha
This is one of the greatest songs ever written recorded or sung by any artist in history ❤
This woman is a treasure!!!
That opening guitar line, still gives me the chills, even before Lady Aretha begins to sing!!! An incredible song when I was a kid, and today!
Sho nuff, it reminds you...whether you want to remember,or not,but you welcome it,cause you don't want to walk away.
That's Joe South playing the guitar
@leekosmin8788 thank you for the information! I would never have known or guessed that is Joe South on guitar in her song.
@@davepike6170 My pleasure. I'm a singer/songwriter, got my own UA-cam Channel. Check out I Just Can't Go On if you get the chance.
@@davepike6170 My pleasure
I never get tired of hearing Aretha Franklin.
One of my favorites
Amen this is the best
70 year old white boy from Baltimore…been loving the Queen of Soul for 60 years. Thanks Barry Gordy and others.
ur grown man not a boy
@@limerobloxgaming8567It's a silly hyperbole. Relax
@@blueseaswhiteskies it's not a hyperbole
70 year old WB; Memphis TN checking in here !
@@davesuiter 55 YO Gen Xer checking in here. Aretha is and always will be The Queen of Soul.
One of the best sung by the best…she’s incredible
youngins, this is the real deal, what we called SOUL MUSIC and still do . this is a genre all its own . it don't fit your broad "throw anything you want" into r&b genre . Soul music is a Titan, its too great and awesome to fit in any of your genres
Don’t bother addressing “youngins”. Age doesn’t matter. There’s plenty of older folk who don’t appreciate true art and passion and feeling. Address the ignorant. The lost. Not the “youngins”
Yup
@@Puppy_Puppington yea not all elderly people have good taste. Think about all those Dylan fans
@@adonaiyah2196 HEYYYYY lol I grew up with Dylan And Soul and love them both. Great era to be young!,
Us not so youngins completely agree over here
We’re singing this in my choir at school for our upcoming concert, such a fun song!
Her band on this is the Swampers from Muscle Shoals, Alabama... nothing but five white guys...
She couldn't believe how good these white boys were!
What an awesome song!
Driving into work (night shift at a hospital) and people in the parking lot lookin' at me like they've never seen a middle aged white lady rock out with Aretha
good music doesn't have any biasises
Closeminded or worse.
The QUEEN OF MOTOWN /SOUL....amazing beautiful woman!! Incredible God given talent!!! And man did she used it!!!!🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵
In 1969 my best friend and I went to see the Queen of Soul . It was my first live concert and I still don't think anyone compares her. I could listen to her for hours.
❤Aretha Franklin❤
Aretha is probably the only singer that moves me to tears. She makes you feel something inside your soul. That’s why she’s the queen of soul forevermore.
There will never be another Soul legend like this again
My absolute favorite song she ever did.
Me too-there is a longer version that has this that has an incredibily bluesy intro that is even better. I believe this was recorded at the Muscle Shoals Studio in Alabama which had an amazing group of musicians.
Me too
I worked in a bar called chain of fools . This song got played a lot. Loved her music. 😅
Great song by the Queen of soul! 🔝❤️
that Bass!!! WOW!
I still get chills listening to this.
Her father said she was a stone singer. THE stone singer❤❤❤
The hottest opening notes on a gitar. It's definitely Aretha's song. Wouldn't have it any other way. No one else can do it. But that 'tar is HOT.
If you're still sittin down you need therapy! Get on up and jam with the Queen!! 💚💙💜
Still here in 2022 🙏🏾💪🏾💕😢❤️
So much better than what we have now!
Absolutely! This is the Real Deal! Never going out of STYLE!! Love her!
Queen of Soul! in the Morning also Happy Birthday!!! Aretha aslo Happy 79th Birthday to her in Heaven we wish she was here with us but God knows... To Aretha's fans and love one. keep her Legacy and in spirit a live. Love you Queen. Detroit keep her always in heart❤️#RESTINPOWER.
I feel this in my soul damn this lady is the queen
When my sister and I were little kids this was a smash hit and if ever either one of us would mess up in life and do something we shouldn’t have, we would sing this song to each other, “ Chain chain chain, chain of fools.” LOL 😂 We are so blessed to have grown up in the 1960’s and 1970’s with some of the very best music that there has ever been, music that would bless you, move your soul, and speak to your heart. Happy Birthday to you in Heaven Aretha, The Truly One And Only Queen Of Soul.
That's heartwarming!!❤😊👍
.....
Qqqqqqqqqqq
Indeed!!!!
Two is a bond. 5 is a team. Seconds to spare, minutes to hours. Life spans dream.
One of the best one-chord songs ever.
Dang this made me cry somehow
WOW!!!! 🙏🙏🙏 can you imagine being at a club and hearing her perform this live back in the day!!!!
🙏🏻
THIS is what happens when you throw Soul Gospel together with a Funk background. It takes over your whole body. 😎👍
It makes me miss and long for the good old days rest in peace sweet queen of soul❤
It ain't funk, but a touch. It's the Muscle Shoals music.
She was sososo sososo sososo pure
Tremendous!!! From a time before me when people that made music were musicians. Musicians with musical instruments and skills, not jackoffs with computers and a big ego.
She's utterly amazing. That's all I can say.
Bring back the soul music nothing to beat this do the same dance John travolta did in the pub scene and it blends perfectly The kids of today know sweet f.all
The lyrics are so deep the tune is heavenly
That break in her voice is priceless
I tried to think of how to describe this song by THE Queen of Soul. How do you describe almost perfection? Reminder, this song was cut way before digital editing came along in the analog era. Doesn't matter the year or genre - a great singer and great song will always rise to the top. 2024 and still sounds as good as it did when originally released. 😀
That bridge gets me every time. ❤
Dropping in to pay respects to the late great Roger Hawkins on the drums. Great performance. The action that happens when he brings in that ride cymbal bell makes the whole track. Beautiful playing.
The difference when you hear someone who can sing and understands rhythm instead of auto tune and flat beats.
Aretha was the salt and spice in the soul stew for sure.
I love Re as my mom calls her. Aretha, Tina and Diana are the pop/rock/soul Charlie’s Angels. Just sugar, spice and everything nice. Never will you see another like any of the three.
I'll soon be 57 and I'm still jammin and getting down to this song in 2022
70 and still jammin to the Queen!
I'm 41 and jamming to it in 2023.🥰
She was sososo sososo sososo brilliant
2 billion stones more ? Insane freedom :)
Aretha franklin was such a beautiful soul and I loved her music thankyou ms Aretha for blessing us with your music 🎶 🎵
Who doesn't love this song!!
Oceans of blessings y'all ❤️❤️❤️
the best
Joe South channeling Pops Staples on guitar just effin' nails it!
And face it, that woman could read the damn phone book out loud and make a baptist wanna get up and dance!
Man that is one awesome track !
I thought it _was_ Staples Snr on lead! Great sound.
Aretha was awesome but for whatever reason there were a few other great singers who, given better songs and good management could have done more. I'm thinking, for one, about the girl that sang with Ray Charles on You are My Sunshine and the Right Time. Margie Hendrix, a fantastic voice but a career that went nowhere, unfortunately. Just one example. Timi Yuro had a huge voice as demonstrated on her record Cuttin' In. But being the right person with the right support and great material is so important to a musician's success.
But no doubt Aretha was a 'phenom', as they say these days.
Ukraine, 28 yo. Best song of 2024 for me.
Who?What part of Ukraine are you living in that?You wrote this one day ago I thought u was had war with that cock sucker putin
кцпы=пдры.
One of the songs I’m playing in School of Rock.
One of her best right here from the late and great Aretha Franklin The Queen of Soul. Play this all the time on my internet radio show Classic Soul me the Masterblaster
✨✨✨✨✨ 👸🏾 ✨✨✨✨✨
Her voice still gives me chills. Always will.🕊🌹🦋🌈🕯☮️💟
Me2
Me tooooo.....
Number One Dance Tune by the Number One Girl Singer of ALL TIME!!!!! XXX OOO
This was long before 2024
My favorite Aretha Franklin song. She was great and so was the band (Joe South on guitar).
On probably a Danelectro 6 string baritone tuned down to C with some trem from maybe a Magnatone......
The Swampers in Muscle Schols Alabama made the music
33 Mexican/American here, don’t let soul music die.
This song would always be playing at my great grandmother’s house anytime the family was over when I was a baby now my grandma has passed and this song will always be playing when I think of her love you grandma 🕊🕊❤️❤️
Come on ancestors 😅❤🎉🌹🌷🌹🌷 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Rest in peace.😔💐🙏🏻🕊
Short, but very sweet.
Happy Birthday in heaven Aretha 💛 Wish you were still here to celebrate with your family
