I've never seen this version of this song on U-Tube, thank you. Loved watching the dancers as much as hearing her, they had a serious groove goin on! Boy, Aretha just gets under your skin. Still, I can't make up my mind what's more "sick" her singing, arrangement, or that amazing bass line/bass player? Would you happen to know who played bass?

cool

The bass may have belonged 2 Robert Popwell, Eric Gale, or Chuck Rainey

*****
Aretha Franklin wrote it, Donny Hathaway on organ; Bernard Purdie on druns;
Cornell Dupree on guitar; Dr. John on percussion; and the bass guitar was by Chuck Rainey; horns by The Memphis Horns (arranged by Tom Dowd)

Rainey was killin' it, that day!
