Aretha Franklin: Think Original vs. Blues Brothers version...


Did you know that there two different versions of Aretha Franklin’s “Think”? While many people grew up listening to the original version of the song.  I grew up listening to the Blues Brothers version of the song.  I actually like Blue Brother’s version better than the original.  The kicker is Aretha would sing the song completely different every time she performed the song.  The coolest thing about Blue Brother’s version is it has more horns and is much faster.   

The original was released back 68.  And, it has that sound from that era.  The BB version was released in 1980 with the movie.  It sounds better and richer and she has more energy with the music.  Plus, she mentions the Blues Brothers in the actual track, which is a nice touch.
