This song was ahead of its time and so was the artist

[mr.s]

People say that the fact that this song was written by two men somehow makes it worse but I say it makes it better because it means two men were actually aware about the whole situation happening

[nthlns]

Her voice, her expressions, her charisma, wow, she was so ahead of her time...

[Alientology]

At 70, I lived it. I was there. Phenomenal.!

[ericatard]

The part when she says "I'm young, and I love to be young, I'm free and I love to be free" makes me cry

[randsaad]

Imagine how hard it is to release a song like that in the 60s. this is the definition of badass!

[gedosenki]

Yes. She did that... in the 60s! My inner woman screams Queen

[OliviaDesantis-nwio]

I cannot believe she sang this in the 60s . At the time it was even more fucked up than today for women and, she fucking performed her ass off. She’s so brave. What a legend.

[AdamSmithth]

I feel like she is TELLING people rather than singing for them. very powerful

[lotusyuhlo]

Her facial expressions and emotions I just love it all

[MrUptownman]

What a great message to young women in 1964. No one below seems to notice the solid message she offered, and still offers, to women everywhere.

[Ozymandias-]

*A message to the future generations:*
_Don't let this song die._

[avphonemail]

She means that sh*t, lol *look at her face as she sings it...
She has beautiful eyes...

[alantayroberson]

People do NOT appreciate how this woman was the original of this song. Yeah, Grace did a great job, but this woman is the best.

[Kseniia-jtps]

I have recently left a very abusive marriage. This song is just what I needed to hear. It's incredible

[shenez]

Can you imagine how women in this era felt when this came out? God it must have been the theme song of the feminist movement

[ianrjm]

You can really see how she feels: starts off a little nervous, then brave then confident and happy. That's a powerful song. Givin' me the chills over here.

[jayclawwit]

This is not a song that's anti-men, it's a song about women being able to be independent and live a life not under servitude.

[vesperview]

You can tell she really enjoyed performing this song.

[evaoliveira]

She's such a revolutionary. She lived in a time where women were supposed to be submissived towards men and all the songs were something like "I only got my man". She's a fresh air
