Lyrics
Now there was a time
When they used to say
That behind every great man
There had to be a great woman
But in these times of change
You know that it's no longer true
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you, we say
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells, we say
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Now this is a song
To celebrate
The conscious liberation
Of the female state
Mothers, daughters
And their daughters too
Woman to woman
We're singin' with you
The inferior sex, has
Got a new exterior, yeah
We got doctors
Lawyers, politicians too
Everybody take a look around
Can you see, can you see
Can you see there's a woman
Right next to you, we say
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Now we ain't makin' stories
Oh, we ain't layin' plans
Don't you know that a man still loves a woman
And a woman still loves a man
Just the same way
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
There was a time
When they used to say
That behind every great man
There had to be a great woman
But in these times of change
You know that it's no longer true
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you, we say
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
Sisters are doin' it for themselves, yeah
Sisters are doin' it for themselves, yeah
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
I said, " Hey, hey, sisters are doin' it for themselves"
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it for themselves - เพลง
For future Pres. Harris!
This song always reminds me of how my sisters fought for so long to be heard. Now in 2024, the women must continue to stand up for OUR RIGHT TO CHOOSE. Our Body, Our Rights, PERIOD!
I can't believe we have lost the action to not procreate...
Yeah i think that’s was the idea 🙄
I live in Milwaukee where the RNC is being held this week. I'm listening to a lot of women power music to pump me up. Voting blue!
Harris 2024
Right on, sister !!!!! Vote BLUE ! Its our time, because men have continually messed it up !
Ladies, Ladies, Ladies....you speak to my soul! Thanks for being you and thanks for bringing the two of you together to sing this anthem for all of us! POWERFUL!
What a powerful duo to sing a very powerful song.
Annie and Aretha, two of my favorites. They KILLED it on this track. Okay ladies, do ya thang!
My favorite female vocalist, and my second favorite female vocalist
Great tune. Great video.
The voices of Aretha and Annie: Pure heaven.
exactly xx
Yes!!
Really!
Ano this true. Vieš čo je dobrá muzika.Ďakujem a good luck.
Exaggerated nonsense
One of the best collaborations in the history of music. 💞
I see your Aretha Franklin + Annie Lennox and raise you an Aretha Franklin + George Michael.
@@yutehube4468 I love this era for Aretha. She was working with awesome people and those awesome people knew they were working with serious music royalty. Both songs still slap!
I'm listening to this song on March 25, 2021, which would've been Aretha's 79th birthday. Rest in peace, Queen of Soul. You are terribly missed.
Rip Aretha. She is. Her voice was phenomenal as is Annie Lennox's.
Eric and Sarah‘a mom1000 you going to go see the movie Respect which is about Aretha?????!!!!……Jennifer Hudson is going to play her……I hope you will reply to this
@@sherryhannah498 Of course. Movies usually open in NYC and here in Los Angeles first, and then go to general release in the rest of the country. Aretha had asked Jennifer to play her. The director said all the songs were filmed live, with real musicians. She didn't want any lip-synching.
@@ericandsarahsmom1000 I didn’t know Aretha had asked Jennifer to play her
@@sherryhannah498 Yes, she did. There was a clip from the movie, shown here from a French newscast (with English-speaking reporters) on PBS tonight that featured Jennifer saying how awed she was in Aretha's presence, and told by her that she wanted Jennifer to play her in a movie.
Let's get behind Harris. WOMAN POWER! WOMAN STRENGTH! DEMOCRACY AND EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL!
Her rally in West Allis, WI was on fire!!!! Amazing. She really has people pumped and voted.
💙💙💙💙
Guy here to say, women, come out for Harris expeditiously and vote blue across the board 😌🙃
@@ericwashington8998 THANK YOU. We really appreciate the support we've always received from intelligent men. You are the men we love. You are the men we want to marry. You are our partners, and you don't want to be our bosses because you know partnership is so much better than domination.
Power to women all around the world 🏳🌈
One of the best female anthems of all times. It sounds as relevant today as it was 20+ years ago.
You can say that again!
Michael Mathers
Why do you need an anthem? The straight male has been an oppressor and in seats of power against women, and even sexual minorities.
You don't need empowerment in fact you need to feel what you've made us feel.
@Michael Mathers there are endless songs that glorify men and the male gaze. Off the top of my head I can think of "He ain't heavy, he's my brother" and most of the Stones catalogue. Most rock music, for that matter. Sexism is like water and men are fish. Most of you don't even notice it.
@@sophiejameson4064
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother about somebody carrrying their brother on his back because he's wounded? Like, it's about two brothers in war; brotherly love?
Also, I'm pretty sure 95% of men today notice sexism. I get that some men today are still sexist pieces of crap, but to say that the general population of men are sexist is unfair and untrue.
Co-written by David A Stewart......
Annie and Aretha are absolutely amazing 😊
I get disturbed by emojis but I've decided that ones OK???
Annie and Aretha.the perfect 2 female duos for this song
this should be the anthem for Kamala 2024, who's with me
Absolutely!
LOL! THE HATER AND HARASSER OF CANDY! SHUT UP ! YOU ARE NOT IN SOLIDARITY WITH WOMEN!
I want this song to be played at next month's DNC. It will really get the audience pumped.
That’s exactly why I’m here 🥳
Kamala doesn't care about you- or any of us!
Happy International Women’s day 2024 ❤
💀
I’m 30 yrs old. I become a widow last year. I’m raising our babies. I’m going back to school. I love this song . I heard it as a kid and loved it since. So as you can tell this song has a different meaning for me. It’s more of a Keep going and you got this song for me. Very powerful song.
💛
Good luck!
It's such a great song, empowering, I grew up in 80s with empowering role models. We need more of them today than ever.
Sorry for your loss. It can't be easy. Stay strong. X
@Hisgirlforever1012, I am so sorry for your loss. Your husband was blessed to have you. God bless you and your children. ❤❤❤
If this song (and video!) doesn't make you stand and rejoice, you are lifeless!
Oh. My. God..... This song takes my breath away. Two monster musical legends on one stage.... and a song to die for...!
th-cam.com/video/agvdaIHD0ek/w-d-xo.html
It was a big hit in its day, but did not top the charts on either side of The Atlantic. Listening to it now you have to feel that the mid 80s didn't get much better than this. It is a great song, and a great collaboration too. Dave and Annie get soul cred from "the Queen", but Aretha gets something back too arguably in the form of some serious 80s edge. The voices are interesting together too. Aretha Franklin's vocal instrument is just amazing but Annie Lennox also has a very fine voice, so bell like and pure in it upper ranges.
This song should be played daily everywhere so women will always remember their own worth and not stand for abuse, for thinking a man is better just because he's a man, as a reminder that you can do anything you want and nobody is going to stop you! #preach
Well said. I have totally forget about this song. Will add to my running play list.
True
That's not going to get you laid, my man.
Who
Disembowell thinks respecting humans is a turn off. SAD!
Woman Power! No jealousy! No competition! Just Hits!!!
2 Awesome voices , very different and they blend together perfectly. Annie has a "Powerhouse " voice that she knows perfectly how to tame and control. Rip Aretha and long live Annie.
This song is not a man's worst nightmare; it's a misogynist's worst nightmare. A true man respects women and treats them as equals.
On another note, I can't believe I'm just discovering this song now! This is so empowering!
@Shit Kicker what a random comment
My dad has a bad knee and can't stand on his two feet for that long so me and my mother would help out a little
FYI I'm living on my own if I struggle I get back up like I always have if I can handle teen life I can handle adult life
@jesseca38 It takes a woman and a man to create offspring, there for, you are 50% shit. Think about it...
lol I love it!
I sing it at females at work when they expect me to do something mechanical or lift something for them
@Shit Kicker DOubt it did. And if it did was that your sick twisted aim, to go around triggering people? Triggering being a genuine affliction to people who have suffered abuse? IF so, thanks for making yourself obvious psychopath. - And if you were just trying to be clever, why do you have an awareness of such a thing?
“We ain’t making stories
We ain’t laying plans
Don’t you know that a Man still
loves a Woman
And a Woman still
loves a Man
Just the same?”
That line always makes me tear up! So touching, and very true.
Just trying to escape from a relationship with a narsisistic pervers... that song is a jewel helping me to feel stronger and relevant !! This is the power of music! Helping people in changing their own lives with strong voices to lean on🙏🌹
There's something gospel about that voice. Probably because of that. 💖🎶😉
Keep going friend!! May you be safe and in peace ✊🏾
You go girl ! I left a domestic violence refuge here in the UK over a decade ago and NEVER looked back. Took me a while to commit and just get in the back of that police car to half way across the country, but I did it.
@@keeleymcmahon9833 currently 2 days after leaving my violent husband with my 2 kids and I'm pregnant.found myself a new job,sorted us accommodation for now I can do this by myself.stories like yours keep me hopeful
Aretha was asked if she’d sing with another woman. She said no, unless it was Annie.
And this was the result.
STILL listening to it; September 21, 2022!!💝
Didn't know that, WOW
had she forgotten she'd already sung with another woman on her "Amazing Grace" album?
Eh... Annie wrote the song with Dave and actually Tina Turner was the original choice but it didn't work out so instead they asked Aretha.
Wow, I didn't know that.
I feel like that isn't true. What would Aretha Franklin have against singing with other women? Don't get me wrong, this is an awesome song and they make an awesome duo, but the idea that she would only sing with one other woman runs totally counter to the message of this song....
RIP Aretha. I remember when this song came out I was 24 and the owner of the restaurant I worked at had this track on one of the music tapes played during business hours. We would all keep working but still grooving along to the beat.
th-cam.com/video/agvdaIHD0ek/w-d-xo.html
Every woman needs to play this song and feel liberated from being stereotypes to a limited role in the house
It will be hard not to dance to a hundred or a thousand years from now? NOrth Guy.
@@elainehenderson6715 Yep. I'm from a female-headed household. As I was growing up, I was baffled by the anti-female attitudes of many males. I still am...
One of the most relevant underrated songs! This is by far one of the most unique collaborations and has to be my favorite one! Thank you Annie and Aretha for this beautiful anthem, I play it Atleast once a day!
I loved this song and had forgotten about it until 1 day, someone with an incredible voice was singing it on the telly. I looked and it was Lucy Lawless singing it on her TV show...Xena Warrior Princess. As I was watching it I realized I was singing the chorus by the end. Then I saw Xena, but actually it was Lucy Lawless herself was pregnant while singing a song of female solidarity. Yeah, she was a warrior, she was a mother and she knew she could handle everything that came her way. Women know some things men will never know. It's that lack of knowledge that make some very unwise men think we have a weakness. No. We have strength, but due to how they were raised or what kind of religion theyre forved into, it takes those women a little longer to find that strength. But it's there.
This song is a celebration of who we are ladies! When this song was picked up by the NOW, some weaker people felt it was a rally call for women to all become lesbians. Kick the men in our lives to the curb and go full chick power. They were wrong.
It says right in the lyrics, "a man still loves his woman and a woman still lives her man." Don't be afraid of strong women. We are really fun to be around!
What is a woman!?! Are you a bigot?
When you need an empowering pick-me-up, this is definitely a song to play. All these years it still gives me chills.
I love this song, and of course Annie Lennox and Aretha Franklin are absolutely incredible singers. I choreographed a line dance "Simply Annie and Aretha" to this song, trying to match the spirit and rhythm of this great music.
Annie's sincere enthousiasm always inspires me. I hardly remembered this song, but reviewing it gave me chills. Thank you, Aretha & Annie!
Im a man and am proud to say i love this song!
Shawn Duffy Awesome🙌🏽
I'm a man and I'm proud to say Aretha played the useful idiot on this one.
respect....
And so you should.......
as a man myself I like this song as well
Yesssssss and so appropriate and right on time for these folks living today! This battle has already been fought and todays women better wake up!
Anyone else here the day Kamala took the helm?
My 4-year-old son in 1984 felt erased by this song, cried and said what about him? Had to explain to him what was going on. Do you think he understood? If we as adults can’t you can imagine that he could not either.
This was originally intended to be a duet with Annie and Tina Turner. I love Tina Turner but I can't imagine anybody else doing this with Annie except Aretha.
I think it would have worked just as well with Tina Turner, I could definitely imagine her belting out her parts. The whole song is similar to Turner's sound at that time, maybe it was produced with that in mind.
I can see Tina Turner doing it for Annie Lennox. It's very pop rock the kind of music that Tina does. Problem is Tina normally only does duets with men. She really doesn't duet with another woman. But it would have been awesome to see
@Tracy Sharp exactly
I WOULD HAVE LIKED ARETHA FRANKLIN AND TINA TURNER FOR THIS SONG ! SISTERS ARE DOIN IT FOR THEMSELVES .
Me too I can’t see anyone else doing this duet other than Aretha and Annie they did the damn thing on this song!
This song makes me want to work twice as hard in law school!!
The voices of Aretha and Annie: Pure heaven.
The law favoures women over men.
@@Boilingfrogg factually incorrect. I'm an attorney. Law favors women in custody only because men rarely ask for it. Period.
@@LydiaZ36 Oh well good for you. I'm 56 years of age and what I've witnessed over the past 30+ years is a fooking disgrace . 😤 men do ask but the system don't work in their favour, makes it impossible for men to get access. It gets so that many men give up trying unfortunately. That's the reality.and you're part of the problem.
Absolute perfection right here! Totally one of the greatest duets EVER.
2021 Still awesome ❤
Note lyrics " a man still loves a woman, and a woman still loves a man "
As Aretha would say it all comes down to RESPECT.
Happy International Day of Women! I pray for any woman who is suffering. We care about you...and there are so many kind men who do too.
Proud of all the women in the world who marched in their communities for what is right!
Two of the greatest voices ever!
Gave me goosebumps, so powerful much respect ❤️
It's interesting how differently Aretha and Annie are dressed. They both have such a different sense of style. But they both look stunning and fabulous.
And... *while the sisters were doing it for themselves*, Dave Stewart @ 2:37 went crazy air guitaring and real guitaring!
I always loved this duo: both Annie Lennox and Aretha Franklin are goddesses!
LPM
Haha Yeah, Dave bouncing around with his guitars has always made me chuckle..love it
Their voices are so powerful together.
I'm so happy that this was a LSFYL song on All Stars 7! Raja and Yvie ate that up😍😍😍😍😍😍
I love how this song conveys that feminism does _not_ equal man-hating!
There's always been an aspect of man hating to any age of feminism. It simply varies from group to group. There are many who want to raise women up, not tear men down. Some do want to tear men down. Some want female supremacy. Some want equality. We'll probably settle somewhere in the middle.
OlderSnake : Perhaps this dichotomy could be described as ‘left wing feminism’ and ‘right wing feminism’?
@@timonsolus I'm not deep enough in American politics to have a firm grasp of the difference between those two :P
@Sargon Face Saaad I'm a modern feminist and I am certainly _not_ a man hater! Seriously I'll laugh at any period joke you can throw at me, and other things of that nature! Equality benefits both genders.
@@timonsolus Actually I think that's a good idea. It would certainly make things a lot easier to explain.
two legends are doin' it...
Gary Pendleton, spreading a message! Geeze
🗣It's 2024 I'm Still In This Lane💪Harris 24💙Let's Go, Let's Do It!! Let's Make History♥️ 💪♥️
Two powerful voices come together to create a woman's anthem. It doesn't get any better than this 🌺
Watching this reminds me what a great role model these Divas were to me coming out as a young woman...I LOVE YOU Annie and Aretha!!!!!! This song is as inspiring as it was when it came out.
Annie and Aretha at the heights of their careers choose to record this song and deserve up till today so much respect for this blasting feminist anthem.
Still a classic and very inspiring for working Mom's and daughters too. Not to mention the best female singers ever!
Love this one, pure 80’s bliss. ❤️
One of my most favorite songs from Aretha and the Eurythmics. Always gives me a feeling of pride...because hell yeah....I'm doing it for myself...no one to dependent on. Rest in peace dear miss Franklin
A great song. Still don't know why it didn't have more radio airplay. It's always Sweet Dreams and Here Comes The Rain Again.
Not too many performers can share the stage with the Queen Annie Lennox but Ms. Franklin sure holds her own here. : o)
You got it the other way.
Baby it’s the other way around lol
You tried it. Aretha was here first.
It takes a tremendous amount of sheer talent to still sound powerful and distinctive while singing alongside the legendary vocals of THE Aretha Franklin. Lesser mortals would have juat the faded into the background.
Yaas, Ms. Annie Lennox! You did THAT.
This song makes me proud to be a woman! Let's use our strength & for the sister's who can't be strong who are silenced!
Thank you!
And to hell with men right?
I discovered this song in Brooklyn Nine-Nine and it seemed catchy. Now that I have listened to the complete song the powerful message it conveys has led me to include it in my playlist for ever. The show never dissappoints in any aspect whatsoever, and neither does this song
Same seeing Terry Dancing drunk to this Song catched me
This song will always ring true and will always be valid and hopefully will help women today and in the future regardless of country!!!
Ive become addicted to Annie Lennox ❤Wow what a Woman ❤❤❤
What a GREAT combination singing!!!!!👍👏👏 love Aretha but Annies voice is so clear, pure and perfect.
Love how this was used in the *_First Wive's Club!_*
Still a great anthem... Trivia: Tina Turner was
planned for the duet but was unavailable............
💛💛
How can you not love these women? I was in awe of Annie growing up watching her on MTV and Aretha was & will always be the Queen of Soul!💜
Two beautiful and dynamic voices on stage! Love it!
Raja and Yvie Oddly performing this was everything ! ❤ LOVE them both !
Only Yvie, baby.
A friend sent it in honor of Harris’ campaign 🤞.
#harris2024, vote blue!
💙💙💙💙💙
Iwatched kamala harris in wisconsin today when she came in wow the power the confidence in her voice the emotion in saw was aretha franklin in the blues brothers song respect and sisters are doing it for themselves and aretha Franklin's song video another night they way she put her hands in the air saying I dont need you to be bringing me down that made me make a decision to divorce my husband and another song woman by nenehcherry and old song on the 1960s woman
Two powerful voices working in perfect harmony
ultimate girl anthem 🙌🏼
justsophE did you graduate from high school in 2006?
It means if a man can make it on their own so can a woman
Co-written by David A Stewart.....
johno4521 nice ..? A bit random... it can still be a ‘girl anthem’ despite being co-written by a man... 🤦🏻♀️
🏳️🌈❤️
I am here to renember the way that Yvie and Raja SLAYED THIS
Listening in 2024
If any woman is feeling low then this is the song you need to hear. Love it 💯
Oh Aretha, I heard you weren't well & saw a picture of you several months back & I feared you wouldn't be around much longer cause you didn't look good in it & now my fear has been realised. Another legend taken from us. Musician Heaven must be having one Hell of a party with its newest member. RIP Aretha. Long Live the Queen of Soul. 💗
Feel the love. Feel the power.. Yeaaaah, baby! Love this song. Both these ladies rock.
RIP, Oh great one, Aretha Franklin. Your music will leave on forever in our hearts
The 2 finest female voices since recorded music began. Just pure talent, nothing else needed.
One of the greatest and most important (female) duets in music history. Period.
Simply stunning, relevant! Both fantastic artists!!
Rest in peace Aretha Franklin The Queen of Soul
It‘s Woman Day ❤️- Perfect Song 👍😘😎
Absolutely excellent , the talent and brilliance of these 2 outstanding performers matched with Dave Stuarts' superb vision and craft.
Aretha looks great here! ❤ Her hairstyle suits her well. 🥰
The best all times them by two prolific female singers in history***look*** kerri
Loved these women and this song when it was released. Time has made me love it and them even more. The world is seriously blessed to be able to listen to the music of these 2 amazing women whenever we want.
I have heard this song every day this week either on the radio or me listening to it on here!! Either way it’s great!! You don’t really get sick of it and it sends a real good message to both male and females!!!
Two of the great voices that blend so good together!!
Dave Stewart's hot guitar licks in the intro & throughout the song!
My sister the best person you could ever meet... she very special.. kind""very intelligent... great sense off humour" we got strength" we never back down frm anything 😊💖💖xx
Honestly, how good are these two. Awesome
Great song with some excellent rhythm & stellar singing by Annie & Aretha. Also been a fav of mine ever since it came out way back in 1985.
Thumbs up if you remember this song from the 1996 film, "The First Wives Club."
Sisters, Yes, celebrate the conscious liberation of the female state!
The voices of Aretha and Annie: Pure heaven.
man Aretha was a whole confident woman,the way she moved and sung,it was all female talent ..i love how simply she was like talking while singing, from soul to mouth every word was meant .....and then Eurythmics.... back when Artists had temperament ,other than just talent, and transformed themselves visually as well....did you notice how Dave Stewart appears on the screen ,while the ladies sing? this is a genius thing, a bit of art deco and art pop , his dress,make up and the guitars, and intelligent way to be present without interferring to the singing environment , fullfilled by Annie&Aretha...GENIUS DUO
minute 3:12 Aretha slays
O combinație trăznet, Aretha și Annie, un ritm care te îndeamnă să sari pe scena alaturi de ele și să dansezi până te epuizezi cu totul. Asta i talentul indiscutabil al unei combinații mai mult decât reușită, superb !
Rest in peace, Sister Aretha. Thank you for this and all the great music you made.
Pure love....probably my favorite song of all time for obvious reasons holy shit AMAZING ....LOVE it until the end of all time!!!!!
Brilliant combination of vocals 😎😎
❤Aretha & Annie❤
I'm a man in 2019, and love this song. Still has strong meaning today. Fun groove. RIP Lady Soul
God! (Goddess!).....this song makes this expression so true......Music has a language all its own. Go! Women! Continue to make the changes in the world we men have failed to do. We need you.
Anjela Benz I totally agree and thank you for saying that, Anjela. Together. As ONE. To make a better world and society. I like "your way of being", as I say. You take care. I subscribed to you.
Anjela Benz Merci beaucoup, mon ami.
I am 41 years old and at 21 I discovered Annie Lennox and 2 years later I discovered Aretha Franklin, Aretha impressed me, with her strength and soul ... but Annie with her versatility, today 20 years later for me Annie Lennox is the best singer, she can sing with a soul of soul blues and rock, she sings what she wants and always masterfully, Annie is the best for me ... sorry if I do not express exactly what I want, but it is that I did it with google translate 🤗😃
Sorry Juan Ms Franklin is the best singer ever. No one can touch her
two legends are doin' it...
One of the best female anthems of all times. It sounds as relevant today as it was 20+ years ago.
