A Soulful Noise
Aretha to Drop Holiday Album
The Queen of Soul will release the first holiday themed album of
her illustrious career. Apparently, her label and managers convinced
her that this was not a lucrative venture. For over forty years. The
fact that Aretha Franklin has never released a holiday album is absurd. Of course she agrees, stating:
"It was just so grossly remiss that I have not had a Christmas album. It was just ridiculous...I'd be at home cooking and enjoying the holidays and listening to everybody but myself. I wasn't enjoying that."On October 14th not hearing her own voice while stuffing a holiday turkey will no longer be an issue. The album, This Christmas, will be available then.
