Happy Birthday, Aretha! A Gomerblog Tribute

And now a rare piece of news that is not about COVID-19:

On March 25, 1942, the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, was born. I know for me, it’s just about impossible to pick a favorite record, I mean, think of the choices: Unforgettable: A Tribute to Dinah Washington, Songs of Faith, I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You, Lady Soul, Aretha Now, Soul ’69, Live at Fillmore West…

This morning we are all blasting Aretha’s Gold, her awesome first compilation album released by Atlantic back in 1969. We thought it would be fun to reimagine this track list as medically-related songs. Do you have a favorite Aretha song you’d like medically retitled? Let us know! In the meantime, ask your hospital administration to blast some Aretha on the overhead speakers today!
