Stevie Wonder composition...Aretha Franklin vocals...Donny Hathaway on the keys...Joe Farrell on flute, Chuck Rainey and Bernard 'Pretty' Purdie on drums, Chuck Rainey on bass...Arif Mardin arrangement...MERCY!!!!
That is an amazing list of musicians who played on this classic. On a side note, I had the honor of meeting Arif Mardin when he produced a song that I co-wrote for Melissa Manchester called "Your Place Or Mine." He was one of the most humble creative amazing producer arrangers in the music industry. I remember hanging out with Arif and my friend Mark Stevens Chaka Khan's brother in Arif's hotel room while he was trying to figure out the chords and rhythms to use to modulate his arrangement of Chaka 's "Night In Tunisia" so he could sample Charlie Parker's famous sax riff and have Herbie Hancock double it on synth. I'll never forget he was using a keyboard and a Dr. Rhythm drum machine to do it. I know all you musicians out there will appreciate the Dr. Rhythm reference. He mapped out the entire arrangement with a keyboard and Dr. Rhythm. Amazing! I also had the opportunity to be in the studio and watch Arif record the rhythm section session for Chaka Khan's "We Can Work It Out" with Greg Phillinganes, Michael Sembello and Raymond Pounds which is my all time favorite studio session I was in. Arif did a lot of amazing string and horn arrangements my favorite being "Where Is The Love" by Donny & Roberta. He also produced Aretha in the 80's along with many other legendary music artists. Of all the high profile music artists, songwriters and producers I had the honor to meet and work with Arif was my favorite. He was the nicest and classiest music industry person I met in the 80's. His arrangement of "Until You Come Back To Me" is a classic especially the flute parts by Joe Farrell. Legendary!!! 😊🎹🎵🔥
The tears are flowing this morning...6:24 am. This song... takes me back to when I was a little girl. My parents, sisters and brothers were all still alive. They were much older than me. My big sister was so proud of the new sound system in her car. An actual 45rpm player. Areatha was on full blast as we rode up the street! My...my...my...
I totally understand! I'm on the train going home listening to this, and the eyes are getting a little moist.🥹 Just reminds me of my mother playing this and a happier time in my life.😔
My condolences. I missed my parents and my stepfather who were all around during the time this song was a hit. Remember well see them all again who will welcome us with open-arms. GOD BLESS You and may our LORD keep you in peace and happiness.
I never, never, never get tired of hearing Aretha sing this, and every time I hear it, it strikes the same emotional chord. Truth and beauty will do that. Aretha was a meteor, flashing as bright as the sun, shooting through the sky.
When i was little boy my parents used to listen this music, now i am 30 and tell you , good and pure music take us away from the big problems in our society, make us love and Care to Anyone.. that is the mean of listen good music .. miss you Aretha F
I'm 80 years old but this 70s compilation makes me feel like I'm 20 again! I couldn't help but sway to the rhythm! 🎶A lot of the songs take me back to specific places and people I was with at the time.😘
This beautiful song brings back so many wonderful memories for me (as a fourteen-year-old) in the early 70s. R.I.P Aretha Franklin... we miss you endlessly.
This song is so beautiful, everytime I hear it I start to cry tears because I miss “The Queen Of Soul” Aretha Franklin I was so hurt when I heard that she passed away may her beautiful soul Rest In Peace.
This song makes me feel so good! It reminds me of my mother. When I was 5 years old, I remember her playing this 45 record, singing and dancing, in the living room. This song makes me smile. I sure do miss my Mama! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sometimes I wonder if younger people get to hear Aretha it will never be the same is when it happened live at that period of time but I think her sound is timeless and I exposed my children to it her voice is something that just shouldn't be missed it's timeless and I love it
The heavens are full of great sounds. There is a special place in that place for this great human being. Aretha we miss you. We take great comfort and pride that while you were on this side of grave your voice bore testimony that life is beautiful when lived in His presence.
It was in the summer of 1973 I met and fell in love with Ms. Sabrina Cooper in Dallas. We were both in our teens, I was 16. As the months passed by I began catching the greyhound bus to see her every weekend. It was still in an era when two teenagers could date and wait, hold hands and not do anything sexually together. That was never on our minds we were so attracted to each other and so respectful towards one another. In early 1974 this song came out and to this day nearly 50 years later it's still as magical as the day we first met back in 1973! If I live to be 100 years old this song will still have a special place in my heart. Thank you so much for bringing back such wonderful memories and a few tears to my eyes!
@@chrisclermont456 It does, it reminds me of some many happy times with my sister, Kim (RIP), running around the park, feeding the deer and pushing her on the swing. My auntie Andrea(RIP) would pick us up in her white Vega. Now, they're both together in Heaven, along with Grandma Ester. I look forward to seeing you guys again!
I was 16 when this song came out I was in the 11th grade. I wish I could go back home. My mother was alive and my sister Lorrie was too. I came from a family of six and my mother, my stepfather and my sister Lorrie are gone now.
Finally saw her in concert, 2009. Grew up listening to Aretha, my mom loved her and I lost my mom in 2021. Her music is engrained in my soul, every single song. For you mom, with love….
Reminds me of my early teens....was about 14 years old....always loved this song....reminds me of simpler, more carefree & happy days...... what a voice ....simply beautiful
Oh the misty memories that this song ushers in. I remember my mom's best friend used to listen to this song all the time. She'd be teary eyed, now that I'm older I understand, the special combination of listening to Aretha's God-given voice and hurtful lived experiences will bring a tear or two to nearly anyone's face.
I hope beloved mom and dad are hearing this tune on heaven. My beloved native Chicagoan mom blessed me at a very young age by playing all the great soul and Rhythm and Blues tunes she learned from my jazz musician grandfather and others, and I soaked them all in like a sponge. She especially loved this tune and “Respect” from the great Aretha Franklin. I am still listening in 2024 and my appreciation for my folks and the artists whom they generously introduced me to continues to grow. Miss you mom and dad and all your predecessors. ❤❤🎶🎶
Yeah I’m pretty sure I’ve heard this in the background throughout my life but I just had a chance to pay attention to it just the other day and she’s gliding on this one.

all I can say is when i was an 11yr old kid in 1974 and this song came on the AM radio it just popped and I loved it! I was a little too young to realize who this great voice was until years later.
Somehow or another, I missed this song when it came out and didn't hear it until many years later. In 1974, I was almost 22 and was very much a bar fly and up on all the latest hits. It seems the best was saved for last!!

Talent knows talent. 2 music immortals Stevie Wonder writes Aretha Franklin sings, total collaboration with musical giants Stevie and Aretha, simply blows my mind. God is absolutely good because God gave the talent to both to share not only hurt and heartaches but benevolence and brotherhood, joy and jubilance. Stevie and Aretha. It truly does not get any better than those two.
I actually remember the very first day this song hit the airwaves in 1974. 1230 KGFJ Los Angeles. I was 8 years old and my stepmother fell in love with this song Johnny on the spot. She gave me 4 bucks to run around the corner and buy this album but the man at the record store hadn't yet received this latest album at the time. Timeless memories. Hail to the QUEEN
Aretha Franklin Until You Come Back To Me Rip My Queen Of Soul
This song is one of my favorite ,❤
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Aretha’s voice is amazing and timeless. Even though she is no longer with us. Her music will live on forever. She was a phenomenal artist.♥️♥️♥️♥️
She had a voice that would hit you and the heart, To me there's none like her. that's why she is the Queen Of Soul
I was 18, pregnant with my first baby. This song takes me back. My baby is a 50 year old man now. ❤❤❤
Wow! It must bring a tidal wave of memories back to your child. Nice that it can be such a connection to you.
I hoped you guys had a great life full of happy memories like this song.
Miss Aretha’s music always brings me back to the best memories of my youth.
Wow so amazing 👏 😊
Y'all blessed 🙏

She sung the hell out of this.
Check out her version of "I Say A Little Prayer". Burt Bacarach, the composer remarked that Aretha's version took the song to a higher level.

There’s no one better than Queen of Soul❤
If you’re looking for one of the best vocal performances ever, here it is.
Wow, she just SOARS on this one! And the arrangement is just brilliant!
Yes the Queen, R.I.P.

This is a love song. This woman loves this man and is willing to do whatever it takes to get him back. What happened to this type of love?

One of my favorite tracks of all time well done Stevie & Aretha love you both
An Otis Redding song propelled her to be the Queen Of Soul
This is one of my favorite songs by Queen Soul Aretha Franklin.
I always like Aretha singing the old songs.
I used to listen to this when my girl and I broke up it would break my heart but I persevered and we are 8 years strong I love you Denise
Aretha's vocals, and S. Wonder's songwriting, is perfection.
4:21 am in Florida on a Sunday morning and Aretha is the go to.
Simply perfection in 2024! RIP Queen Aretha💯❤

I hava always believed that this beautiful song, defined the essence of "Soul Music" a "Golden age!"
One of Aretha's best IMHO
I didn't remember hearing this song until I heard it in 2021. It's like looking down on the side walk and finding a large ruby!
This songs reminds me of a girlfriend I had in college. I loved her so much....I always think of her when I hear this....
One of the best from the queen of soul.
Talent knows talent. 2 music immortals Stevie Wonder writes Aretha Franklin sings, total collaboration with musical giants Stevie and Aretha, simply blows my mind.

It truly does not get any better than those two.
