PrintableYeah, it`s much better than the original 
Aretha Franklin should have recorded more Bacharch/David songs, you`ve heard what she did with "I say a little prayer"... | |

After Cole made it big with "This will be", Franklin often included it in her concerts.... Aretha has a long history of rejecting songs that later became big hits for other artists.Didn't she also reject "Upside Down",which Diana Ross later recorded? | |

I always pay attention to the music b4 I pay attention to the lyrics anyway. And I didn't know its a Dionne cover song?  She loves herself some Dionne, doesn't she?
The released version of "Say A Little Prayer" was fine by me untill I heard THIS version which is a TOT-AL knock-out: http://www.youtube.com/wa...NglKTDZMKo Does anybody know how to convert that per4mance into MP3? 
I couldn't find this anywhere. [Edited 1/24/07 8:45am] | |
