Ain’t No Way, Aretha Franklin
That sustained high note? That’s all Cissy. I’m sure this one doesn’t come as a surprise to many people because not only is Cissy Houston probably best known for singing with Aretha, we got to experience the expansiveness of her talent. There are entire YouTube videos dedicated to analyzing her votes in the song. The notes and numbers don’t mean much to me, I just know that not only does it sound complicated and almost impossible to duplicate, it’s also incredibly soulful.
In addition to this song, Cissy Houston and her group “The Sweet Inspirations” are featured on some of Aretha’s biggest hits, including “(You Make Me Feel Like) a Natural Woman,” “Since You Been Gone,” and “Chain of Fools.”
