Aretha Franklin - Rock A Bye Your Baby With A Dixie Melody
Review by 48073 48073
Aretha Franklin's album Rock A Bye Your Baby With A Dixie Melody is a classic example of her soulful voice and musical versatility. Released in 1962, the album features a mix of popular songs and traditional tunes, all given the Aretha treatment with her signature style of gospel-infused R&B.
The album's title track, "Rock A Bye Your Baby With A Dixie Melody," is a standout, with Franklin's soaring vocals and the catchy melody making it an instant classic. Other highlights include "Won't Be Long," "Rock-A-Bye Baby Blues," and "Nobody Like You." Throughout the album, Franklin's voice is backed by a tight band, featuring horns and a rhythm section that perfectly complement her vocals.

If she were to sing this today, the self-appointed PC Police would make all sorts of declarations about her and try to do their best to ruin her career.

Fantastic ! This great old Al Jolson song never sounded better.

She's also been an Icon mentioned on Guiding Light as well as UK Soaps like Emmerdale & Eastenders. They even did a Musical Tribute to her in The UK on Strictly Come Dancing the British Version of Dancing With The Stars. I heard that Queen Elizabeth loved hearing her perform that at one Show her Crown almost came off. They even played Respect in front of Buckingham Palace a couple of days after she died. Her name has been mentioned in Books by Nora Roberts, James Earl Hardy, as well as Movies like St. Elmo's Fire.

I used to play the even more fantastic commercial recording (1962?) by Aretha Franklyn. It is a thumping, rumping, pumping interpretation of this song. I was on Radio Caroline during 1964 when i played it whilst being tossed, like no other, on this pirate radio ship during North Sea gale force winds and waves of the 1960's !! sincerely Keith Martin

sounds like Dinah Washington omg

Shades of Dinah Washington in this performance, and reminds me a bit of Amy Winehouse as well. Dinah Washington was a major influence on them both (Aretha lucky enough to known her personally through her father).

Para mi la mejor interpretacion de Aretha. Llevaba muchos años deseando verla y hoy la he encontrado a la primera. Gracias amiga por subirla. Uauhhh. Arrrulla a tu niña.

On this day in 1965 {January 27th} Aretha Franklin performed "Rock-A-Bye Your Baby (With A Dixie Melody)" on the ABC-TV program 'Shindig!'...
Four years earlier on October 9th, 1961 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #37 and spent 9 weeks on the top 100...
Nine years earlier in 1956 Jerry Lewis covered it; his version reached #10 on the Top 100...
The song was featured in Al Jolson's 1928 movie "The Singing Fool"...

If only she could still sing like this. Her lackluster inauguration performance is permanently seared into my mind.

@BronxBob AMEN to that! Is is true that Columbia gave her lots of material that simply was wrong for her, but despite that, most of what she recorded for the label was fantastic...and worthy of chart success. A listen to any of her early albums (most available on CD) will prove this out. She's a super talent.
