Track of the week 19/8/18
Aretha Franklin passed away this week.
So which of her songs to make track of the week?
First thoughts was “I say a little prayer” and this would have been a worthy entry. A song dripping with sentiment:
I run for the bus, dear
And while riding I think of us, dear (us, dear)
I say a little (prayer for you)
And at work I just take time
And all through my coffee break time (break time)
I say a little (prayer for you)
But if I’m honest, I prefer the Bomb da Bass version (possibly because this is how I first discovered the song?)
R.E.S.P.E.C.T – a belter, that would have graced the TOTW collection.
But I first “met” Aretha in the film “The Blues Brothers” and I still remember being blown away by the energy and raw power of this track. Think.
Aretha Franklin, 1942 – 2018. Respect.
