If we say the representative of soul music, we must say ArethaFranklin. She may have won sixteen or seventeen Grammy Awards. This black and fat female singer may be seventy years old now. She has been singing for decades. She writes and sings by herself. So far, she has been able to sing nearly a thousand songs and is called "the godmother of soul music" by Americans. Her representative tracks are: respect, Chainoffools, thinking, not noway and so on. A lot, but I like her album ARoseisStillARose, 1998 won many Grammy awards.
I'm telling you about another soul sister, PattiLaBelle. Speaking of voices, the two sisters can be compared. Everyone is as casual as home cooking, especially Patty's sister. Www.youtube.com's website has several audio and video clips of her singing soprano HighC, which is really cool. But in terms of grades, Aretha is a little taller than her. PattiLaBelle is 63 years old, but her voice and stage performances are increasing. In the early days, she and two black girls formed a band called TheBelles, and later she went solo. Now many famous singers regard them as idols. For example, MariahCarey and WhitneyHouston, international big-name actresses, like Aretha and Patti very much. PattiLaBelle's most representative song is LadyMarmalade. And ChakaKhan, who was WhitneyHouston's chorus singer before she became famous. This tea card girl is now in her fifties, but her voice is fierce, and her singing effect is the same on stage and off stage. ToniBraxton, a black mezzo-soprano who sings like a cow, idolizes Chakahan. Of course, DionneWarwick is also a singer who can be as famous as above. Her AHouseisnotahouse was later covered by many singers. WhitneyHouston(DionneWarwick's cousin) covered a male version of the middle-aged male voice LutherVandross at her actor meeting, and TamyraGray, a powerful singer of American Idol Contest, covered the song in the competition. Then GladysKnight, KarenWhite, the original singer of "Too much" by Faye Wong, were all celebrities in the early days of soul music. JenniferHolliday, who can sing to the explosion, is a good soul singer even if she is not the representative of soul songs. If you have to choose a representative among these people, it will be ArethaFranklin.
