Thank you.
Thanks a ton for this Paul!
I love how Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul, decided she wanted comtemporary sounds and hits starting with Who’s Zoomin’ Who and this album… And proceeded to show the young-ins how it’s done! (Check out the video for Rock-A-Lott). Thank you Paul, I’m excited for the megamix!
You’re welcome, Retro Hound I hope you enjoy this 🙂
We will remember her name!! Miss Aretha Franklin was an incredible artist and person with that phenomenal voice!! Thank you, Paul, for doing this record. I am super excited about the mega-mix especially!! These medleys are usually fantastic and I’m so appreciative when you dig them out for all to enjoy!! Maybe a week of them down the line would be a delightful surprise? Anyways, I’m so grateful for all the records you share!! You’re the best!!
Jeff
