Aretha Franklin
Sam Cooke had a huge influence on me. He left the gospel field at one point and went into the secular, and he had this huge hit, 'You Send Me'. Irma, my older sister, and I heard 'You Send Me' on the radio while we were driving through the South one night. We had to stop the car. We got out and danced around the car out on the highway.

Life did not intend to make us perfect...Let us learn to show our friendship...The joke may be that no one likes fruitcake...Home is the nicest word there is...Wherever my story takes me...God creates out of nothing. Wonderful you say...
