Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing by Aretha Franklin

About Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing

"Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing" is a song originally released by American R&B/soul duo Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, on the Tamla label in 1968. Aretha Franklin remade the song for her 1974 album Let Me in Your Life. It was issued as the album's third hit single that August. Franklin's version radically re-invents the upbeat Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell original as a deep soul ballad which Jon Landau of Rolling Stone dismissed as "misconceived (done too slowly)". .
