I remember, back when I was a very, very young child...Aretha Franklin was the rave...she was bigger than Whitney Houston and her music was in heavy rotation. The song that hooked me was: Chain, Chain, Chain...Chain of Fools. Of course, I was not able to understand what the song was about, but I was diggin' that hook: chain, chain, chain. (LoL). She was embedded in my memory from the start and I pray that she is greatly rewarded for what she did, through her long career, as not only a singer, but a pianist, to bring smiles and comfort to so many. (We have Eternal Love for you Aretha; rest in peace Queen)....btw, I am a song-writer and background singer. I learned a lot by first attentively listening to and then blending in with MANY singers, like her background singers, over the years. I was not raised up in a gospel musical family, but I was introduced to it by singers like Aretha, which lead me to others like Sam Cooke and the great one: Thomas Dorsey, from right here in Chicago. Well, as you can tell, I'm long winded...lol. I just wanted to say thank you for reminding me just how blessed we were to have Aretha in our lives. T.y. for this selection: Bridge Over Troubled Waters. Peace.

This song means soooo much to me. Bridge Over Troubled Water was the theme song at my 1971 High School graduation at Booker T. Washington in New Orleans, Louisiana. My sister and I graduated together. She was a teen mom but proudly graduated with hopes of becoming a nurse Two years later she and her two year old son were killed in a head on collision. I was 3 days from my delivery date but proudly graduated and have earned a Masters Degree. We practiced the song for weeks before graduation. Bridge Over Troubled Water has sooo much meaning to me. I TRULY LOVE the song.❤

I think of my mom when I hear this. My mom is 79 years young and this makes me think of mom raising me and my and sister. Single mom raising two kids on the west side of Chicago! Making those sacrifices to put food on the table, clothes our backs, teaching us right from wrong, keeping a clean home, helping us with our homework, praying to God!! She did the damn thing!! I have a soft spot in my heart for those single moms staying in the fight and not giving up!! She's my mom and I love her dearly!! I cherish now when I see her and we sit and talk as mother and son and you know what, if something is troubling me...she knows!! But she doesn't pry. She says, 'you're my son, I know if something is bothering you, but you're a grown man and I know you'll work it out". I hug my mother when our visit is done and I'm leaving, man, that mother's hug!! Yeah!
