I noticed that the female impersonators of Aretha don’t try to tackle songs like Mr.Spain and her songs of the 70’s because at this time ,reached the highest level of her voice and she displayed it in all of her songs 😊long live the Queen 🔥☝️💫🔥✨👑🙏

Your so right Rob. When this was released, along with the LP it was on, it was considered quite a departure from Arethas previous work and suffered some back lash. I place this song right up there with all of her other greatest songs.

Hey, now, hey, how we miss the natural Aretha...beautiful!!!!!
Yall that is a stellar performance. She sings in that low key with excellent clarity and control. At will she jumps from the low key to the heavens with ease and drops right back down to the low key with a Black Royalty Elegance. She pushes all of those notes with straight chest power. No head voice. Amazing!! I have never heard any female singer that could do what she just did. Wow!! 👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🔥🔥🌹🌹👑👑👑

Album title: Hey Now Hey (The Other Side of the Sky) (1973) The Meaning Behind The Song: Mister Spain by Aretha Franklin Song Meanings / By Colin Lane In “Mister Spain,” Aretha touches upon themes of racial identity, love, and loneliness. The opening verse, “I can feel your blackness, and your manhood, and your love, I can touch your whiteness, and your oranges, and your power,” is a profound statement about embracing one’s identity, regardless of societal expectations or labels. The chorus, with its repetitive yet powerful lines, “Spain (Spain), Yes, Mister Spain (Spain), They going to put a star beside your name, Yes, they are, Mister Spain” speaks to the idea of recognition and acknowledgement for one’s true self. It is a call to embrace and celebrate our uniqueness, just as Spain is recognized and acknowledged. In the second verse, Aretha emphasizes her understanding and empathy towards Spain, saying, “I can speak your own language - if you listen, you will hear, I understand your crying, I understand your fear.” This is a reminder that true connection and understanding can be achieved by listening and empathizing with others’ experiences, regardless of background or culture. The bridge of the song simply reiterates the word “Spain,” adding emphasis and intensity to the overall message. It serves as a reminder of the significance of this identity and the importance of being true to oneself. The final verse further explores the depth of understanding and connection Aretha feels towards Spain, singing, “I can feel your blackness, and your manhood, and your love, I can touch your whiteness, and your oranges, and your power.” It is a poignant statement that embraces the multifaceted nature of identity and emphasizes the importance of embracing all aspects of oneself. As the song concludes with the repeated chorus and the playful “laugh, laugh, laugh” lines in the outro, Aretha Franklin leaves us with a message of celebration and joy. She encourages Spain to find laughter and happiness, reassuring him that it is okay to let go of the burdens and judgments society places upon him. In conclusion, “Mister Spain” by Aretha Franklin is a beautiful and soul-stirring piece of music that delves deep into themes of identity, empathy, and self-acceptance. Through her powerful vocals and heartfelt lyrics, Aretha reminds us of the power of embracing our true selves and finding joy in our unique identities. This song has touched me on a personal level and serves as a constant reminder to celebrate the beauty of diversity. 🎉❤ 🙏 RIP Queen

Sounds like from the words: 1st verse Mr. Spain in this verse seems to be pretty good off in life and everything. 2nd verse: it sounds like Mr. Spain went down hill in life somewhere and she’s telling him how much she loves him so much and not to hurt himself.
