Aretha

Picture
Aretha Louise Franklin (born March 25, 1942) is an American singer and musician. Franklin began her career singing gospel at her father, minister C.L. Franklin's church as a child. In 1960, at the age of 18, Franklin embarked on a secular career recording for Columbia Records but only achieving modest success. Following her signing to Atlantic Records  in 1967, Franklin achieved commercial acclaim and success with songs such as "Respect", "You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman" and "Think".  These hits and more helped her to gain the title The Queen of Soul  by the end of the 1960's decade. 

"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 did not appear on an album until 1977's anthology Looking Back. The most well-known version of this song was done by Aretha Franklin, who had a million selling, top 10 hit on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard's R&B chart  in 1973. It reached No. 1 on the R&B chart and No. 3 on the Hot 100 chart in 1974.

"I Say a Little Prayer" is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for Dionne Warwick, originally peaking at number four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart in December 1967.  The song returned to the Pop & R&B Top Ten in the fall of 1968 via a recording by Aretha Franklin taken from her 1968 Aretha Now album. Franklin and background vocalists the Sweet Inspirations  were singing the song for fun while rehearsing the songs intended for the album when the viability of Franklin actually recording "I Say a Little Prayer" became apparent, significantly re-invented from the format of the Dionne Warwick original via the prominence of Clayton Ivey's piano work and the choral vocals of the Sweet Inspirations. 
"(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" is a 1967 single released by American soul singer Aretha Franklin on the Atlantic  label. The song was co-written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin,with input from Atlantic producer Jerry Wexler.  The record was a big hit for Franklin, reaching number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100,   and became a standard song for her. Franklin also included a live recording on the album Aretha in Paris   in 1968. Versions have also been performed and recorded by Mary J. Blige, Celine Dion,  and many others.
