Aretha, Sing One for Me; Cat Power

My best present (the artist who makes it worth all this work on my blog) was definitely Cat Power. I remember my first posts and she was the only one I didn't know on one list of five-best whistling songs [here]... So I started to listen to Chan's songs. Since then I have had terrific moments of delight!

All of Cat Power's albums are so touching... "The Greatest", "You Are Free", "Dear Sir"... all of them have great pieces of gold! I only have to thank Chan Marshall for exist! *-*

"Aretha, Sing One for Me" is in the cover album "Jukebox" from 2008. It was written by J. Harris and Eugene Williams; it was first recorded by George Jackson, here is Jackson's interpretation record, without whistlings.¹

Me and my baby
We had a big fight
We ended our romance
The same night
In an angry mood
He walked out the door
I said this song's
Going to
An Aretha Franklin show

Hey, Aretha
Sing one for me
Let him know
Our life's in misery
Will you sing a song
That will touch his heart
And make him sorry
That we are apart

I don't know
If taking requests
Is part of your show
Do me this favor
And I'll love you forever
Many romances
Have been saved
By your sound
You've touched
So many lovers
So many times

Yes, Aretha
Sing one for me
Let him know
My life's in misery
Will you sing a song
That will touch his heart
And make him sorry
That we ever parted

"Think", "Respect"
"Call Me"
"A Bridge Over Troubled Waters"
and
"I Can't See Myself Leaving You"

Hey, Aretha
Sing one for me
Let him know
I'm as miserable
As a woman could be
Sing a song
That'll touch his heart
So he'll be sorry
That we are apart

"Think", "Respect"
"Call Me"
"I Never Loved a Man Like I Love You"
and
"I Can't See Myself Leaving You"
