“Ain’t No Way” #16 5/4/1968

The B-side of Aretha’s “Since You’ve Been Gone” was written by her sister Carolyn Franklin and was a hit on its own. The Sweet Inspirations sang backing vocals along with Carolyn. To complete the family angle, Whitney Houston performed this song during her first national TV appearance in 1983 (on Merv Griffin’s show!) along with her mother, Cissy, who was with the Sweet Inspirations on this record.
