“Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)” by Aretha Franklin

Stevie Wonder cut "Until You Come Back to Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)" first, in 1967, and then sat on it; his take stayed in the vault until the Looking Back anthology in 1977. In between, Aretha Franklin took the song he wrote with Morris Broadnax and Clarence Paul and made it hers, putting it out as a single in 1973 and later on her album Let Me in Your Life.

She co-produced with Jerry Wexler and Arif Mardin, who arranged and mixed it, and she plays piano herself, with Donny Hathaway on electric piano, Richard Tee on organ, Hugh McCracken on guitar, Chuck Rainey on bass, Bernard "Pretty" Purdie on drums and Joe Farrell taking a flute solo. It topped the R&B chart, reached number three on the Hot 100, sold a million and went gold.
