Hello, Aretha Fans,

There is a new book coming out soon entitled "Songbirds, Greatest Female Singers of Our Time." Guess where The Queen resides on the list? I am the author. I will let you know when it is released.

Here is an excerpt:

Aretha Louise Franklin was born on March 25, 1942, in Memphis, Tennessee. Captivating listeners with her powerful vocals, Aretha was referred to as the “Queen of Soul.” She has sold more than 75 million records, including favorites “Respect” and “I Say a Little Prayer.”
Said fellow singer Mary J. Blige, “Aretha is a gift from God. When it comes to expressing yourself through song, there is no one who can touch her. She is the reason why women want to sing. Aretha has everything – the power, the technique. She is honest with everything she says.”

killing me softly with his song

telling my whole life

with his words

killing me softly with his song

Lookin' out on the morning rain
(Ah-ooo)
I used to feel so uninspired
(Ah-ooo)
And when I knew I had to face another day
(Ah-ooo)
Lord it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you
Life was so unkind
But you're the key to my piece of mind

'cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman (woman)

When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful
Of what I'm livin' for
And if I make you happy
I don't need to do more

'cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me...
