Aretha Franklin(March 25, 1942) is a Memphis, Tennessee-born but Detroit, Michigan raised American iconic gospel, soul and R&B singer. Many have called her "The Queen Of Soul" and "Lady Soul". She is renowned for her soul and R&B recordings but is also adept at jazz, rock, blues, pop, gospel, and even opera. She is generally regarded as one of the best vocalists ever by such industry publications/media outlets as Rolling Stone and VH1, due to her phenomenal ability to inject whatever she may be singing about with gut wrenching soul (hence the title) and sheer conviction. She is the second most honored female popular singer in Grammy history after Alison Krauss.

Today I Sing The Blues Lyrics
Aretha Franklin
Without a word of warnin' blues
walked in this mornin'
and circled 'round my lonely room.
i didn't know why i had that sad
'n lonely feelin' until my baby called
and said we were through, hooo.
for yesterday this time
i sang a lovesong but today
... i'm singing the blues.
Hmmmm...
strikes me kinda funny how love can be this way
we were lovin' 'til last night honey, yeah.
i'm alone again today
and it strikes me kinda funny
how fate can be unfair
that i come right on the losin' end
in every, every love affair!
yes it must be, it must be meant for me
that i should be the one,
be the one to always lose, hooo.
for yesterday!
yesterday this time i'd sing a love song whoaoohhh!
yeah, but right now - im singin the blues!
who-o-oh ye-he-heah!-- today i sing the blues
