Frases de Aretha Franklin

Aretha Louise Franklin foi uma cantora e compositora estadunidense de gospel, R&B e soul que virou ícone da música negra. Foi considerada a maior cantora de todos os tempos pela revista Rolling Stone e, pela mesma revista, a nona maior artista da música de todos os tempos.Nascida em Memphis, criada em Detroit, Michigan, a cantora tornou-se a primeira mulher a fazer parte do Rock & Roll Hall of Fame em 3 de janeiro de 1987. Recebeu os apelidos de "Rainha do Soul" ou "Dama do Soul". Reconhecida por suas habilidades na música soul e R&B, também é uma adepta de jazz, rock, blues, pop e até mesmo ópera. Ela é geralmente reconhecida como uma das melhores vocalistas da história da música por publicações de porte da revista Rolling Stone e do canal de televisão VH1. Foi a segunda cantora a possuir mais prêmios Grammy na história atrás apenas de Alison Krauss, recebendo vinte e um prêmios, dezoito competitivos e três honorários.

Apesar de todo o sucesso, Franklin teve apenas dois singles que foram para o primeiro lugar na lista dos mais vendidos dos Estados Unidos segundo a revista Billboard: "Respect", na década de 1960 e "I Knew You Were Waiting ", um dueto com George Michael. No entanto, vários singles dela já apareceram entre os 20 mais vendidos na lista daquela publicação, como "Think", "I Say a Little Prayer", "Until You Come Back to Me", "Chain of Fools", " Since You've Been Gone", "Call Me", "Ain't No Way", "Don't Play That Song ", "Freeway of Love", entre outros.

Fonte: Song lyrics, Lines added among her 1967 alterations to the 1965 song "Respect", originally written by Otis Redding

“I want to be what he wants when he wants it, and whenever he needs it
And when he's lonesome and feelin' love starved
I'll be there to feed it
I'm givin' him a little bit for each day
He turns me right on when I hear him say(Hey baby let's get away, let's go somewhere far)
(Baby can we?)
Well I don't care.”

"Day Dreaming", from Young (1972)
Song lyrics

“Speak your name
And I'll feel a thrill.
You said I do,
And I said I will.I tell you that I'll stay true,
And give you just a little time.
Wait on me baby,
I want you to be all mine.
I just get so blue.Since you've been gone, baby”

“Step n' move your hips
With a feelin' from side to side
Sit yourself down in your car
And take a ride.And while you're movin'
Rock steady
Rock steady baby.
Let's call this song exactly what it is”

What it is -what it is - what it is
"Rock Steady", from Young (1972)
Song lyrics

“You walked in on the sly
Scopin' for love
In the crowd, I caught your eye
You can't hide your stuff.You came to catch
You thought I'd be naive and tame
You met your match
I beat you at your own game.”

"Who's Zoomin' Who", written with Preston Glass and Narada Michael Walden, from Who's Zoomin' Who? (1985)
Song lyrics

“People walkin' around everyday,
Playin' games and takin' scores.
Tryin' to make other people lose their minds.
Well be careful you don't lose yours.Oh think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me.
Woo-hoo think (think)
Let your mind go let yourself be free.You need me (need me)
And I need you (don't cha know)
Without each other
There ain't nothin' we two can do.”

"Think", written with Teddy White, from Aretha Now (1968)
Song lyrics

“What made her talent so great was her capacity to live what she sang. Her music was deepened by her connection to the struggles and the triumphs of the African American experience growing up in her father’s church, the community of Detroit, and her awareness of the turmoil of the South. She had a lifelong, unwavering commitment to civil rights and was one of the strongest supporters of the movement. She was our sister and our friend. Whenever I would see her, from time to time, she would always inquire about the well-being of people she met and worked with during the sixties.When she sang, she embodied what we were fighting for, and her music strengthened us. It revived us. When we would be released from jail after a non-violent protest, we might go to a late night club and let the music of Aretha Franklin fill our hearts. She was like a muse whose songs whispered the strength to continue on. Her music gave us a greater sense of determination to never give up or give in, and to keep the faith. She was a wonderful, talented human being. We mourn for Aretha Franklin. We have lost the Queen of Soul.”
