Everything about You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman totally explained
}}
"
(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" is a 1967
single released by
American soul singer
Aretha Franklin on the
Atlantic label. The song, co-written by the celebrated
songwriting-producing team of
Carole King and
Gerry Goffin, was a big hit for Franklin (reaching number #8 on the
Billboard Hot 100) and became a standard song for her. It was recorded by Carole King on her landmark 1971 album
Tapestry, and by
Mary J. Blige, whose 1995 version, from the soundtrack of
New York Undercover, also charted.
Rod Stewart did a version, entitled "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Man" for his album
Smiler.
Céline Dion also recorded this in 1995 for the
Tapestry Revisited album. Franklin gave a live performance of the song alongside King, Dion,
Mariah Carey,
Gloria Estefan, and
Shania Twain on the first
VH1 Divas special in
1998.
Note that certain copies of the original CD issue of
Tapestry list this song as '(You Make Me Feel) Like A Natural Woman' with the parentheses putting a different emphasis on the title. However, the inside liner notes of these CDs still use the standard form of the track.
Céline Dion version
"
(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman" was released as a promotional single by
Céline Dion on
October 23 1995 in the United States, Canada and Australia. It was featured on a tribute album to
Carole King, called
Tapestry Revisited from
October 24 1995. Later, Céline Dion included this track on most versions of her 1996 album
Falling into You. The track was produced by
David Foster. Although there was no music video made, Dion's version enjoyed a moderate success on the Adult Contemporary charts, reaching #9 in Canada and #31 in the United States.
On
April 14 1998, Céline Dion,
Aretha Franklin,
Mariah Carey,
Shania Twain,
Gloria Estefan and
Carole King performed during a
VH1 Divas concert at the Beacon Theater, New York. The five vocalists were recruited by the cable music network
VH1 to raise money for Save the Music, their education charity. Hyped extensively in the press, the event was a ratings' winner for VH1 - so successful, in fact, that the network arranged to have the concert released on disc and tape on
October 6 1998. At that time "(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman" (performed by all divas) was released as a radio single around the world. It peaked at #9 on the Belgian Wallonie Airplay chart.
