Aretha Franklin "Spanish Harlem"

From the album Aretha Franklin - "Greatest Hits"

[Lyrics to "Spanish Harlem"]

(La-la-la la la la la la la la)

(La-la-la la la la la la la la)

(There's a rose in black at Spanish Harlem)

(A rose in black at Spanish Harlem)

It is the special one

It never sees the sun

It only comes up

When the moon is on the run

And all the stars are gleaming

It's growing in the street

Right up through the concrete

But soft sweet and dreamy

(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)

(A rose in black at Spanish Harlem)

With eyes as black as coal

That look down in his soul

It start a fire there and then he looses control

I'm gonna beg his par-ar-ar-ardon yeah

He's going to pick that rose

And watch her as she grows

In his garden

[Instrumental]

(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem uum uum)

(A rose in black at Spanish Harlem uum uum)

With eyes as black as coal

That look down in his soul

And start a fire there and then he loses control

And I wanna beg his par-ar-ar-don

He's going to pick that rose

And watch her as she grows

In his garden

(La-la-la- la la la la la la la)

(La la la-la-la la-la-la la)

(La la la-la-la la-la-la la)

[Fades]

(La la la-la-la la-la-la la)

I agree this version has a feeling of emotion that the original version lacks. The woman Aretha brings joy and love that only a woman can bring to this song although I still feel Mr King's version is more appealing to me vocally.

I think I've figured why modern music and singers can't touch this. Its because there's no "sex" in her voice. It is every emotion but that. That is why it is full of love. Because it is a pure love of music and its true dignity that she sings with Stevie Wonder is like this too. A pure love of harmonious music describing true and unadorned feeling. Lovely Aretha.
