I just said to Moira that don't believe she ever sang a 'Bond' movie theme (correct me if wrong). "She should've done", was the reply... I agree

May she rest in peace.

Nice Lady.

Bye Baby...

Mr Quatro · 08-16-18, 02:57 PM

Not real sure about it, but faith leads me to believe that she is singing before the throne of God in heaven right about now.

R.I.P. to the Queen of Soul.

Aretha Franklin was the real deal, a full package of talent, soul, and artistry. She could take the most mundane of songs and make it seem far better in performance than anyone else. A true Lady and a true Queen, and not just of Soul. It will be a very long time before someone else takes her crown...

Here she is, at 22 years of age, showing not only her singing powers, but, also, her amazing piano skills (she was self-taught):

RIP, Aretha Franklin. Many, many thanks for the joyous memories and for sharing your blessings...

If anyone deserves the title of icon, it is her.

Though the the river was deep and the mountain was high and I knew you were waiting , Aretha was a natural woman and Aretha always had my

r-e-s-p-e-c-t

And I say a little prayer for you

Rest in peace Aretha and thanks for the great music.

Aretha Franklin - Respect
Song written by Otis Redding
Album: I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You [1967]
_________________________

RESPECT

(oo) What you want
(oo) Baby, I got
(oo) What you need
(oo) Do you know I got it?
(oo) All I'm askin'
(oo) Is for a little respect when you come home (just a little bit)
Hey baby (just a little bit) when you get home
(just a little bit) mister (just a little bit)

I ain't gonna do you wrong while you're gone
Ain't gonna do you wrong (oo) 'cause I don't wanna (oo)
All I'm askin' (oo)
Is for a little respect when you come home (just a little bit)
Baby (just a little bit) when you get home (just a little bit)
Yeah (just a little bit)

I'm about to give you all of my money
And all I'm askin' in return, honey
Is to give me my propers
When you get home (just a, just a, just a, just a)
Yeah baby (just a, just a, just a, just a)
When you get home (just a little bit)
Yeah (just a little bit)

------ instrumental break ------

Ooo, your kisses (oo)
Sweeter than honey (oo)
And guess what? (oo)
So is my money (oo)
All I want you to do (oo) for me
Is give it to me when you get home (re, re, re ,re)
Yeah baby (re, re, re ,re)
Whip it to me (respect, just a little bit)
When you get home, now (just a little bit)

R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Take care, TCB

Oh (sock it to me, sock it to me,
sock it to me, sock it to me)
A little respect (sock it to me, sock it to me,
sock it to me, sock it to me)
Whoa, babe (just a little bit)
A little respect (just a little bit)
I get tired (just a little bit)
Keep on tryin' (just a little bit)
You're runnin' out of foolin' (just a little bit)
And I ain't lyin' (just a little bit)
(re, re, re, re) 'spect
When you come home (re, re, re ,re)
Or you might walk in (respect, just a little bit)
And find out I'm gone (just a little bit)
I got to have (just a little bit)
A little respect (just a little bit)
