Close To You

Aretha FRANKLIN - "Close To You" (1978)


Without Love


they dun call her the First Lady of Soul / Queen of Soul for nothing.
Queen Aretha's voice has been said to be one of USA's most valuable natural resources.
while her recent performance at the Presidential Inaugaration was not something everyone comprehends, its no doubt tt she is a living legend.
listen to her performances from the 60s and 70s, when soul music was all organic with piano and backing vocals, perfect harmony and great melody.
Like i told Jake, listening to her makes me feel like asking all the modern shriekers to shut up and just learn.
that spirited Soul in her voice is undeniable.
