Happy Birthday Aretha

Aretha Franklin would have been 80 today. I am always fascinated by pictures of Aretha when she looked  glamorous to me. I took these screen shots from two award ceremonies in the mid 70's

I love the red color in her hair; and, the beautiful yellow and orange colors she is wearing in her dresses.  I adore how radiant and lovely she looks.

I grew up listening to Aretha especially on Saturday mornings when my mom was home from work. She clean to Aretha or just dance around to her music.  Now, that I am older I can relate to her music in a way that didn't as a little girl. This is a throwback Aretha jam that gives me that dreamy and romantic feeling. Hope you enjoy Daydreaming by Aretha Franklin. Please let me in the comments what is your favorite songs by the Queen of Soul.

Happy Birthday Aretha

Happy Monday, my friends. Today is Aretha Franklin 's birthday. She would have been 77 today. I recently found all these great photos on Pinterest of Aretha. Today is a perfect day to share these lovely pictures of the Queen of Soul on her birthday.


"I think it would be a far greater world if people were kinder and more respectful to each other."



"Most of what I wear, I select myself. You can't please everybody, and as long as I'm comfortable with what I wear, I think that's what's important."



"I'm really an old-fashioned girl - I like to be romanced."



"I love 'Anne of Green Gables.' I have for years. That's one of my favourite things. She's such a can-do kind of girl; that's why I'm crazy about her."



"I like writing and don't confine myself to just the words or just the music. But I don't particularly write songs with myself in mind."




Bless the Queen of Soul. May as long as music exists, her name and music live on...

Son of A Preacher Man by Aretha Franklin

Happy Saturday, my friends. I had this blog post ready a few days ahead. As you all know, The Queen of Soul passed away on Thursday at the age of 76.I grew up listening to Aretha Franklin from my mom
She is part of the soundtrack of my childhood. As I listened to her when I was a woman,I could understand why my mom loved her so much.

She sang about love, heartbreak and empowerment. Her voice is truly gifted by the Divine. I am sharing one of my favorite songs by Aretha. Enjoy. I am sure we all had a love in one way or another like Son of a Preacher Man.
