Aretha Franklin pouring her heart into ‘I Say a Little Prayer for You’—soul royalty at its finest!
“Queen” For starters, when the late Otis Redding said, in respect to the song “Respect”, “The girl has taken my song away from me, it’s safe to say Aretha Franklin, was on her way. Despite Aretha being afraid to fly, she is just only revisiting the cloud nine, I personally placed a Crown on her head, from the first time I heard any of her songs, Aretha Franklin’s songs would make you late for work, if any of them were on when you pulled into the parking lot, because you would sit there singing it to the end! Aretha should serve as a everlasting memory for any teenager that becomes pregnant, and then suddenly, thinks their life is over, from her beings, she was a subject of some “Dr. Do Right”, because, “Ain’t No Way”, did adversities of the young kid of a Pastor, allow her dreams not to come True... Queen Aretha Franklin having earn her “Respect”, by becoming “A Do Right Women”, always glowed, due to her passionately singing, much like a “Spirit in the Dark”! Through her soulful voice, with only a few notes of her songs, you don’t have to “Think”! In closing, Queen Aretha Franklin, “Until You Come Back to me, your songs will forever live in my Soul! You were the soundtrack for so many generations, with tears running down my face, I proudly write this poem with Joy!!! Aretha I Love You, The World Loved you, your music has been a Robust - “Bridge over troubled waters. Although this poem “Hurts Like Hell” for me to write, I “Say a Little Prayer” for you, because you sang “Heaven” to the World, as the world “Rocked Steady” to your music, amongst the daily Hell’s that we all catch!
