Aretha Franklin (Tribute) - I say a little prayer

Born in Memphis, Tennessee, U.S. Aretha Louise Franklin better known as Aretha Franklin was an American singer, songwriter, and pianist, instrument that she learned by ear. As the daughter of a Baptist minister and her mother a piano player and singer she started as a child singing gospel. She is described with a rich, heavy and dark voice being a falcon soprano, that allowed her to sing any genre of music and her interpretations were simply legendary. Many of her fans think it is not a matter of measurement, or tonality it's rather a matter of singing from the heart, and that's exactly what Aretha knew, and she knew how to do it. Her ability to render emotion through a song was amazingly melodious. Many liked and still like her sound and style
The Queen of soul music and gospel has left now but she has charted on the board (so to speak) her 4 octaves range echoing in the heart of millions. A little old video but one of her best performances "I Say a Little Prayer" by Aretha Franklin.
