Until You Come Back to Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)
"Until You Come Back to Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)" is a song written by Morris Broadnax, Clarence Paul, and Stevie Wonder. The song was originally recorded by Stevie Wonder in 1967, but his version was not released as a single and did not appear on an album until 1977's anthology "Looking Back". The best-known version of this song is the 1973 release by Aretha Franklin, who had a million-selling top 10 hit on "Billboard" charts. The song reached  No. 1 on the R&B chart and No. 3 on the Hot 100 chart in 1974. It became an RIAA Gold record. With this peak at number three, Franklin became the first artist in the history of the Hot 100 chart to have a hit song peak at each position from one to ten on the chart. To date, only four other artists have achieved this feat: Marvin Gaye in 1983, Madonna in 1996, Drake in 2013, and Taylor Swift in 2015. Aretha's version of the song was ranked by "Billboard" as the No. 11 song for 1974. In  the lyrics, the singer has been abandoned by a former partner, but declares determination to contact and win the partner back. Yet there is also evidence that the singer may be naive. The lyrics begin "Although you don't call anymore, I sit and wait in vain." The singer plans some drastic steps, including camping by the partner's steps, rapping on the door and tapping on the window pane. However, the mood of the song and its musical accompaniment is upbeat and optimistic. Miki Howard version. Miki Howard recorded the song for her 1989 self-titled album. Her version  was an R&B hit in 1990 when it peaked at No. 3 on Billboard's Hot Black Singles chart. Mark Romanek directed the video for Howard's rendition.
