Natural Woman - The Stars From The Commitments

6 months ago

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.
