SAY a Little PRAYER For ARETHA

 

Aretha Franklin

The QUEEN of SOUL

Goodbye and God Bless

  As a child of the 60s, I grew up listening to the Beatles, The Four Seasons, The Supremes, all sorts of Pop, Rock, and R&B Music and even my mom's music of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and Dean Martin, I grew up with all these wonderful artists and their music and it enriched my life. This music was a natural part of my life and I just loved it, it made me feel good as I listened and sometimes I'd sing along. Along with these artists I have already mentioned and many more too numerous to mention, as in those days there was a great abundance of incredibly fabulous music, unlike today. Yes, I loved Pop Music, Standards, Rock, and R&B music of which along with Dianna Ross, Marvin Gaye, SMokey Robinson, and others, Aretha Franklin was always there, a natural part of my love with her wonderful music, musicc that made me happy and made me feel good, it was all so natural back then, all the great music which included fabulous artist like Aretha "The Queen of Soul." Yes all those wonderful artist who made great music in the 60s and 70s gave the general public their wonderful gifts of their musical talents and we thank them especially today, it seems that musical artist of the 21st Century just reffuse o make any good music at all. It is quite sad they don't make good music anymore, and for this reason as great as the musical artists like Aretha Franklin, The Supremes, The Beatles, Marvin, Frank SInatra and all the talented musical artist of the 1960s and 1970s have always been great, it makes them all the greater as we see in these times there no longer exists any great music artist, the fact that we have records and can listen to people like Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Dianna Ross, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong and so many others, I and many others are so very greatful. Thank you Aretha and all your talented contemporaries. Goodbye Sweet Aretha, and God Bless You Always, you will live The SUPREMESon in memory and your music. Thanks again, You Will Be Missed.   DBZ
