El adios a la Reina del Soul, Aretha Franklin

Tristemente se hizo realidad el fallecimiento de la gran Aretha Franklin. Tras una dura batalla contra el cancer, su gran corazón dejó de bombear vida, y quedó atrás otra legenda de la música soul a la que siempre recordaremos por su gran contribución a agrandecer este estilo musical cuya principal baza es el alma. Una vida musical que se inició a mediados de los años 50, dejándonos un legado musical indiscutible con canciones como Respect, Spanish Harlem, I say a little prayer (for you), Chain of fools, o (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman. Feminista y luchadora por los derechos derechos raciales en Estados Unidos, se convirtió en una de las máximas exponentes del soul y en una de los mayores referentes del gospel, siendo una de las artistas más influyentes.

Con más de 75 millones de álbumes en todo el mundo, tiene en su haber 18 premios Grammy, siendo la primera mujer incluida dentro del Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Nombrada en el año 2008 por la prestigiosa revista musical Rolling Stone como la mejor cantante de todos los tiempos, su vacio musical será imposible de suplantar. Dueña de una gran voz con una fuerza inusitada, todo un torrente rebosante de conocimiento y dominio de si misma, y con una sensibilidad especial que desde el primer momento conquistó a todo el mundo. Todo un referente que nos dejó, pero situó en el firmamento musical su luz estelar que servirá de guía para las nuevas generaciones.


Respect
What you want
Baby, I got it
What you need
Do you know I got it
All I'm askin'
Is for a little respect when you get home (just a little bit)
Hey baby (just a little bit) when you get home
(Just a little bit) mister (just a little bit)
I ain't gonna do you wrong while you're gone
Ain't gonna do you wrong cause I don't wanna
All I'm askin'
Is for a little respect when you come home (just a little bit)
Baby (just a little bit) when you get home (just a little bit)
Yeah (just a little bit)
I'm about to give you all of my money
And all I'm askin' in return, honey
Is to give me my propers
When you get home (just a, just a, just a, just a)
Yeah baby (just a, just a, just a, just a)
When you get home (just a little bit)
Yeah (just a little bit)
Ooo, your kisses
Sweeter than honey
And guess what?
So is my money
All I want you to do for me
Is give it to me when you get home (re, re, re ,re)
Yeah baby (re, re, re ,re)
Whip it to me (respect, just a little bit)
When you get home, now (just a little bit)
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Take care, TCB
Oh (sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me)
A little respect (sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me)
Whoa, babe (just a little bit)
A little respect (just a little bit)
I get tired (just a little bit)
Keep on tryin' (just a little bit)
You're runnin' out of fools (just a little bit)
And I ain't lyin' (just a little bit)
(Re, re, re, re) when you come home
(Re, re, re ,re) 'spect
Or you might walk in (respect, just a little bit)
And find out I'm gone (just a little bit)
I got to have (just a little bit)
A little respect (just a little bit)
A Natural Woman
Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your the key to my peace of mind
'Cause you make me feel,
You make me feel,
You make me feel like
A natural woman
When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful, of what I'm living for
And if I make you happy I don't need to do more
'Cause you make me feel,
You make me feel,
You make me feel like
A natural woman
Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be, close to you
You make me feel so alive
You make me feel,
You make me feel,
You make me feel like
A natural woman
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman
You make me feel
You make me feel
