Aretha Franklin quotes

Being a singer is a natural gift. It means I'm using to the highest degree possible the gift that God gave me to use. I'm happy with that.

Don't say Aretha is making a comeback, because I've never been away!

I always felt rock and roll was very, very wholesome music.

I might be just twenty-six, but I'm an old woman in disguise... twenty-six goin'on sixty-five.

I sing to the realists; people who accept it like it is.... (more Aretha Franklin quotes)

Aretha Franklin new lyrics

Won't be long
Wonderful
Without love
You're all I need to get by
You send me
Wholy holy
Try a little tenderness
Trouble in mind
Tracks of my tears
Take a look
