*******************
An icon of 20th and 21st century music, the voice of the civil rights movement, and the undisputed Queen of Soul-there is only one Aretha Franklin. In her incredible six-decade career, Aretha evolved from teenage gospel star to reigning pop and R&B diva, recording classics like “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” “Chain Of Fools”, “Think” (lyrics by Aretha Franklin), definitive versions of the songs “Respect” and “I Say a Little Prayer”, and global hits like “Freeway Of Love,” “I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)”, and “A Rose Is Still A Rose.”
Altogether, 112 of her singles reached the charts, with 20 No. 1 R&B singles, the most ever by a female artist. She won 18 Grammy Awards (including the first eight trophies for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance) and, out of recognition for her for indelible contribution to American music and culture, received both the Presidential Medal of Freedom and a Pulitzer Prize.

Jesus said child I will be with you. As u going through life ups and downs, he will be with you.
Who on earth would dislike such good holy ghost music.
I wasn’t introduced to this album by means of any grandparents or elder relatives; however it was on a radio show that I was introduced to her greatness at age 11. Thank you Joe Bullard. Can you imagine my surprise when I realized she was known for more than just Respect.
FINALLY I get why black church lasts so long. Cuz this song had me feeling some kinda way and I was mad it was over after only 7 minutes. Glo-ray! 🙌

Brings me to tears whenever I listen to this.
I read somewhere President Obama was crying when she sang at the White House. I believe she must of told him that she wasn't long on this ole world so now God has an Encore.
Send chills down my soul and make the hairs on my arm rise and praise The Lord. My mom played this album as we cleaned every Saturday morning in the 70's.
Jesus 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾Whispered I’ll be WITH YOU🙏🏽🙏🏽Glory hallelujah 😥🙌🏾
Aretha is the 🐐 no other can come close💕
Sacred secrets He'll unfold. For there is nothing secret to the One true living God! He knows our (of everybody in the world) thoughts, feelings and intentions with clarity....all at the same time. Is that not mind blowing? God bless everybody, whatever your situation may be!

Wowwwwwwww and I was 5. I remember the day Mommy bought it home like it was yesterday and me being an album cover kid, I could not believe my eyes 👀. I wasn't used to seeing her look so regular so normal like Mommy natural, little too no make up, even her outfit. This was the only gospel album played in our home growing up in the early 70's into the 80's. I was not able to take the album when I left home at 22 but, I've purchased the CD 3 times since 1989. It's sentimental to me and I'll NEVER part with it.
Jesus Jesus Jesus sacred secrets He'll unfold help me Holy Spirit Beautiful beyond Words Aretha and James moo beterr
I love this song, I love her voice, and I love this album. Happy heavenly 82nd Birthday to Aretha Franklin! ❤🥳🎉🎊🕊️3/25/2024
I’ve played this song 4 times back to back in last few minutes and when I say both Aretha and Rev James Cleveland sang/preached, let’s just say the tears were on over flow this morning! This was my grandmother’s go to worship song❤️

This are the songs that brough us through many, many hard trails and tribulations, and it's going take it today because Hebrews 13:8 Jesus the same yesterday, with Moses, and today with us and forever. They can call it back in the day if they want to God said I'm the Lord thy God and I change not. Mal 3:6
I just heard this song on a channel 13 documentary about the lynching of a young man named Lennon Lacy, who was murdered in N. Carolina in 2014. I was moved by this song and I needed to come to KZread to see if I could find it. Not only did I find it, I found it sung by the most amazing voice of Ms. Aretha Franklin. I was meant to hear this song today....amen

Chicago IL This Album was played in my house every cut on here. This music gives me sense of grounding to a strong (United) positive Black village. The good/the bad and all that flows in between. The ending always chokes me up . I don’t know why. Aretha that voice those vocals. Lord have Mercy.

Nothing like Having Old but the best memories Good old Gospel music YESSSSS
Of all the gospel songs she made: this may have been the best of them!
AMEN..GOD IS THE SAME YESTERDAY TODAY AND FOREVER...
Dedicated to our loretta my people who pass 2 weeks ago they play this at her funeral, god she going to be missed, this her favorite song what a sad month Jesus Christ amazing woman❤❤❤😢😢😢🙏
Jesus whisper ......her ministry unfolds there and then ....listen ....just listen.
What a powerfull voice,👌
You know a song is slow when you 2x speed it up and it is still slow. I played (piano) this at a funeral today. Never heard this song in my local baptist church(es); might be COGIC famous. I knew the hymnal. Never heard the black remix version. Old school funeral (everything was clubhouse blues gospel). That generation is passing on. Every day is precious.
Very fitting for all loss in 2020

A few hours ago, my son and I were watching an old episode of Atlanta that he really needed to see because i knew he would relate to it. Precious Memories played during one of the scenes. I told him it was a sign. I told my mother and found out she had dreamed about her for the last 3 nights. Your comment is icing on the cake. This proves that heaven isn't so far away. Much love to your grandmother. 💓
