Aretha was The Greatest Singer In Recorded

I thought I was the first to discover how great Aretha Franklin was. I remember I was about 9 or 10 years old before I discovered the Queen of Soul. Now I am finding out that I was not the 1st. I just can’t believe that because she absolutely the Best singer ever in the Whole World. There is only one Queen and she is it. It does not take away from the rest of the great singers at all. There is no disrespect.
There is one thing that I’ve noticed and I hope nobody else noticed. Some of The Queen’s biggest hits are remakes. These covers are from superstars themselves. “Respect” was a song by Otis Redding, He is a very famous soul singer.”Say a Little Prayer” was a huge hit for Dionne Warwick. Dionne had many top 10 hits on the Billboard Charts. Burt Bacharach(a super producer at the time) produced this song. The next remake I remember was “Spanish Harlem” by Ben E King who also made “Stand by Me .” He was a Big Star in his time.

My second favorite remake was “Bridge over troubled waters” by (Paul)Simon and (Art)Garfunkel. They were huge pop stars. My point is that The Queen (Aretha Franklin) set her goals really high and achieved them. That is why she is the Queen. She aimed for the stars. She deserves to set on top of the mountain. You’ve got a lot confidence in your abilities to cover superstars’ music. She was a gifted child of God.

Honestly all those covered sounds better than the originals. She sounded better than all of them and I like and admire all of them. God gave Aretha Franklin something real special.That’s the honesty truth. Do the research and listen for yourself. She was the greatest singer ever been recorded in my opinion. She was a gift from God. Can’t everybody be the Queen.
