The Stars From The Commitments

Check out our version of “Natural Woman” with our incredible vocalists Sandi Jane Hyland and Antoinette Dunleavy: youtu.be/kUxrVx9zN1A

"(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" - The song wasn’t in the film but is a fantastic soul song that we’ve incorporated into the bands performance as a duet.

It was released in 1967 by American soul singer Aretha Franklin and was co-written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin with input from Atlantic producer Jerry Wexler.

Written for Franklin, the record was a big hit reaching number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100, and became one of her signature songs. It made history in the UK singles chart a week after her death, finally becoming a hit almost 51 years after it was first released entering at #79.

Franklin also included a live recording on the album Aretha in Paris in 1968. Carole King has performed and recorded a version of the song along with Mary J. Blige, Celine Dion, and many others. At the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, Aretha Franklin performed the song to honor award-recipient Carole King.

The Stars From The Commitments

Here’s a short video clip of our version of “Show Me".

In the film, this is the song where Derek gets electrocuted and the amp blows up. The props people brought in another bass, it was an exact replica of the bass I was using, but they had wired in a trip switch along the back of the neck and connected a couple of pyros that were embedded into the body of the guitar, close to the pickup. We rehearsed it so that when I moved into position and at the right time the singer would swing the mike stand and hit the body of the guitar and I was to hit the trip switch which set offs the pyros. We rehearsed it a few times and when the time was right Alan Parker gave the instruction to roll the cameras. It had to be done in one take, there could be no second chances and as it happened it worked out perfect.
