Aretha Franklin Lyrics


(Born 25th March 1942 in Memphis, Tennessee)

The fate of gospel music was forever altered in 1956 when a
14-year-old choir girl named Aretha first belted out
"Precious Lord" for a congregation of 4,500 at Detroit's
New Bethel Baptist Church. What followed this conception of
the legendary "Lady Soul" is nothing short of amazing grace
-- more than a dozen million-selling singles, 20 No. 1 R&B
hits, a cover story in Time, a civil rights award from
Martin Luther King Jr., a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of

    ------ About the song Killing Me Softly performed by Aretha Franklin

I thought the last singer mentioned in the article is named Aretha Franklin not Aretha Jones. I could be wrong, but I thought the article was pretty accurate with stating that Ms. Flack sang it second in '73 and it first came out in '71. It's a great song and many artists have entertained us with many renditions. I believe Ms. Flack received the most recognition for her rendition.

    ------ About the song Do Right Woman, Do Right Man performed by Aretha Franklin

This was the b-side to Franklin's breakthrough Atlantic hit (I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You) in January 1967.

And something NEW it was. We loved the Motown girls, and continued to, but most of their records came down to 'he's breaking my heart and I don't know what to do-hoo'. One got an entirely different impression with Aretha.

Her songs too often spoke of troubled romances, but when an Aretha record detailed love hitting some rocks, you felt less sad for her, than worried for the guy who was doing her wrong. Even at her most broken-hearted, this was a woman with an unshakeable sense of self-worth, and it came through every time she sang.

What lay ahead was an astonishing string of successes, and if you were lucky, like me, you were just hitting your teen years as Aretha's momentum gathered.

    ------ About the song Think performed by Aretha Franklin

Really? Heirarchy? Are you partially deaf and or stupid? That's not the part of the song most sites got wrong. The one line people always get wrong is "playin games and takin scores. Tryin a make other people lose their minds, well be careful you don't lose yours." but never heirarchy. Anyway I love this song and am playing it in band.

FAVORITE SONG | Reviewer: Beverly Nelson
    ------ About the song Ain't No Way performed by Aretha Franklin

This song continues to be my favorite song by my favorite artist. I was very young when I first heard it and it ministered to my heart. I didn't understand why until I became an adult. If you think this one is good, listen to "I can't see myself leaving you." These songs were made during the 60's and 70's and this is when she did her best work. Most of the songs she released were about pain and we all knew that pain too well. I played this song over and over again until I worked it out. I bet you did too. Aretha is and will always be the queen of soul to me.

Never heard a voice that even comes close to this woman | Reviewer: Alanah Jones
    ------ About the song The House That Jack Built performed by Aretha Franklin

I remember the day i discovered this womans amazing voice. I was seven years old and i was watching the blues brothers for the first time and it was from that day i wanted to be a singer and since then ive never looked back thanks to this woman. She has been my insperation ever since and now im twenty and i have never heard a voice that has given me that feeling i got when i saw her singing. I think alot of people will agree that this woman is truely amazing with her message that she puts across and the way she reaches the hearts of thousands.

"Killing Me Softly with His Song" is a 1971 song composed by Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel. Lori Lieberman was the first to record Fox and Gimbel's song, in 1971, but it became a bigger hit when covered by Roberta Flack in 1973. Her version won three Grammy Awards: Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Female Performer and it was number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for 4 weeks. Other major artists to cover the song include Fugees, Carol King, Herb Alpert, Engelbert Humperdinck, Frank Sinatra, Tori Amos, Alison Moyet, Eva Cassidy, Perry Como, The Jackson 5, Mina, Anne Murray, Luther Vandross, Toni Braxton, Alicia Keys, Jaco Pastorius, The Plain White T's, The Youngblood Brass Band, Shirley Bassey, John Holt, Al B. Sure, and Usha Uthup. I have heard that Aretha Franklin does a version, but I have been unable to find it.
