Say a little prayer.....

[Brandane]

For Aretha Franklin. Sadly, she is in very bad health at the moment.
BBC News report.

Some studies have shown that intercessionary prayer has no effect on a patients recovery. Other studies have shown that it can actually have an adverse effect.

Of course - why should it other than a placebo effect? But other studies have shown that Say a Little Prayer was a 1968 top 10 hit for Aretha Franklin.

No it's just a fact, but an opinion is that Say a Little Prayer is one of my top 10 favourite songs of all time

Nobody lives for ever, but her work will.
Have a joyous journey, ‘Queen of Soul’.

Don't be hasty, she's not shuffled off just yet.

I read about it in my 'Yorkshire Post' this morning
A fine woman, with a big voice

And, an inspiration for Scritti-Politti

I like both

Both, written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David and both excellent

My favourite though has to be Close To You (of course, made famous by The Carpenters)

 

[Deleted member 26715]

I like both

So do I

Both, written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David and both excellent

Very good lyricist & composer

My favourite though has to be Close To You (of course, made famous by The Carpenters)

I adored Karen Carpenter in my teens, such a tragic life it appears.

Strange how sometimes a song comes along sung by somebody else changes itt, although I like Elvis, Suspicious Minds by the Fine Young Cannibals to me is better version.
