395 - Aretha Franklin I Say a Little Prayer 1968

Aretha Louise Franklin (born March 25, 1942) is an American R&B, Pop and Gospel singer, songwriter, and pianist. She has been called for many years "The Queen Of Soul", but many also call her "Lady Soul," as well as the more affectionate "Sister Ree." She is renowned for her soul recordings but is also adept at jazz, rock, blues, pop, gospel, and even opera. She is generally regarded as one of the greatest vocalists ever, due to her ability to inject whatever she may be singing about with passion, soul and sheer conviction. "I Say a Little Prayer" (often named in error as "I Say A Little Prayer For You") is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.
