Aretha Franklin 1942-2018 (76)
R-E-S-P-E-C-T,
find out what it means to me.
Aretha Franklin was 18 when she recorded her first gospel album for her father's church label. She was 24 when she walked into Muscle Shoals and recorded I Never Loved a Man the way I loved you, a session that changed soul music forever. She won 18 Grammys and became the voice of a generation. When she sang, you felt it in your chest. More on Aretha Franklin →

Who Did It Better
play Easy
Easy like Sunday morning
Easy like flowing river

Easy 0:30 is about wanting to feel like Sunday morning after love has worn you down. Not lazy. Not giving up. Tired of the fight. He wants to float instead of struggle, to breathe instead of hold his breath.

When love turns hard, a man has to choose between fighting and letting go so he can float again. He is choosing the river over the rock. Easy like Sunday morning is not a luxury. It is the goal.

Today’s Record
Black Cat
All the lonely nights I spend alone
Never around to love me, you're always gone
Album art

A dangerous woman who refuses to ever be tamed. The guitar riff snarls like a caged animal ready to strike. She rejects every attempt to control her burning fire. Independence burns brighter than any failing relationship ever could. Rock energy channeled through fierce feminine rebellion.

You’re Kidding, Right
Kool & The Gang started in 1964 as The Jazziacs -- a straight-ahead jazz group playing tenor sax and piano. No 'Jungle Boogie,' no funk, just bebop. The same guys who played jazz clubs in the early 60s invented an entirely new sound and became the most sampled funk band in history. Evolution isn't always planned.
Soul in the Movies
Round Midnight 1986
Round Midnight Dexter Gordon starred in Round Midnight and was nominated for an Oscar -- a jazz saxophonist playing a fictionalized version of himself based on Bud Powell and Lester Young. Herbie Hancock won an Oscar for the score. The title track is the loneliest hour, played by a man who'd lived it. Round midnight. The song knew the hour.

Why We're Here
Most of us grew up with free radio. Then corporations took over the playlist. Then we found Spotify and YouTube -- until the algorithm quietly decided what we liked, and suddenly we were stuck on repeat again. There's so much music out there, and only so much time to hear it.
At HotSupper, we just want to open things up a little. Maybe you'll stumble on an artist you've never heard of. Maybe you'll rediscover a song you'd completely forgotten. Maybe you'll just tap your toes. Either way, it's yours to explore. And if you have ideas to make this place better, we're all ears.
