I originally heard this song on a Shaolin Sounds record I got from The Sound Garden in Baltimore when I was in high school. The Shaolin Sounds record compiled a whole bunch of Wu-Tang samples, all of which were really good soul songs. This is one of them, which I later found out was by George Jackson (the record didn't label any of the songs). George Jackson was a guitarist and song writer from Memphis, TN. The songs he helped co-write as well as the artists that performed them, certainly gained more fame than Jackson himself. He co-wrote tunes with Clarence Carter, Z.Z. Hill, Bob Seger, Wilson Pickett, Latimore, Candi Station and the Osmonds. At the point that he recorded "Aretha Sing one foe me," he was at the Hi record studios which signed other notable artists, like Bill Black and Al Green. All of the recordings from Al Green and others in the Hi studio had a very distinctive sound. This is because the studio was converted from a theatre space, giving a very cool natural reverb to many of the recordings (listen to the piano). But I digress....Enjoy the song!
