The Queen of Soul's "Think"

Memory Served: Sometime between 1980 and 1984, Makati City

A belated tribute to the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin, who passed away last 16 August 2018. Tried to remember when I first got acquainted with her music; at least in putting a face to the name and to the voice, her appearance in the 1980s cult classic Blues Brothers was likely the first. Likely, while uncles were watching on betamax (they did watch a lot of betamax then). And likely, the scene was that I was flitting in and out of rooms acting out an imagined adventure when my attention was momentarily caught by Queen Aretha's vocal prowess.
