Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do) -- Aretha Franklin vs Stevie Wonder

[NurseJackie]

"Until You Come Back to Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)" is a song written by Morris Broadnax, Clarence Paul, and Stevie Wonder. The song was originally recorded by Stevie Wonder in 1967, but his version was not released as a single and did not appear on an album until 1977's anthology Looking Back. The most well-known version of this song is the 1973 release by Aretha Franklin, who had a million-selling top 10 hit on Billboard charts. The song reached no. 1 on the R&B chart and no. 3 on the Hot 100 chart in 1974.[1] It became an RIAA gold record.[2]

With this peak at number three, Franklin became the first artist in the history of the Hot 100 chart to have a hit song peak at each position from one to ten on the chart. To date, only four other artists have achieved this feat: Marvin Gaye in 1983, Madonna in 1996, Drake in 2013, and Taylor Swift in 2015. Aretha's version of the song was ranked by Billboard as the no. 11 song for 1974.[3]

The song's subject tells of their abandonment by their partner, but declares their determination to contact and win their partner back.

1. My little grandgirl was having trouble setting down for nap time today.

I turned on my phone radio and told her “just listen to Aretha”.

It was “Ain’t No Way”. Little grandgirl was lights out after about 1 minute. So sweet.

2. That's a great one!

"Ain't No Way" is a song written by singer-songwriter Carolyn Franklin and sung by her elder sister Aretha Franklin as the B-side to her 1968 hit, ''(Sweet Sweet Baby) Since You've Been Gone". This song should not be confused with a different song of the same title, recorded by Aretha Franklin on her 2003 CD So Damn Happy: "Ain't No Way" by Barry J. Eastmond and Gordon Chambers.
