Curtis MAYFIELD produced a second album for Aretha Franklin, Almighty Fire.

She has always been the cleverest vocally, hasn't she?

Aretha has some fierce runs on this song, she can really slur hervoice up and down the scale. The backgound singers is smooth, it must be Cissy Houston Sweet Inspiration Singers. The harmony is angelic
