    Without wishing to take anything away from the fantastic Dionne Warwick, this has to be one of the greatest covers of all time. A lot of people don't even know this isn't the original... it .has become the definitive version.

I don’t see the power of prayer easing her pain or Jesus. I still see her (the strongest person I know) break down in tears.
      My exact words to the Jehovah that came to my door when my papa died, fuck off I’ve got no time for slimy wee gits who push their religion onto others and who think power of prayer cures cancer and pays bills and stops mass muerderes from murdering and politicians from fucking us over.

    I met her up close around 1981 at Radio City. She was so genuine that she didn't have to say a word, it exuded form her. If she came to your home for dinner and you lived in a hut, you could not stop her from cooking the meal and doing the dishes.

      @@ritagrimanis6539 my parents were married for 65 years - right up until last august when our house burned down & we lost her. She was bedridden. i was on 2nd story & heard my dad outside calling out for help. This like other worldly anguished PRIMAL SCREAM was coming out of MY DAD. i still can’t think ab it. So i had to bust out a window to jump & my 86 YEAR OLD POP CAUGHT ME! .. sorry digressing. So before all this happened, my dad was my mom’s primary caregiver - per her request. After i taught him how to change an occupied bed he never looked back! Plus he ran the house! HE WORSHIPPED HER. He LITERALLY did everything humanly possible for her until he couldn’t. Ps NO ONE could get back in that house but he will never ever forgive himself for not being able to save her.💔 i am _positive_ that he is the last of his kind.😢 TY for allowing me to

      Agree with him or not, I call it a tie.

    Undoubtedly, one of the greatest singers of all time.
    No doubt, there are many talented singers in this world. But Aretha Franklin stood out from the crowd because she was not only talented, this woman had a gift from God.
    No wonder she was the first female inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame.
    No wonder the Queen of England called upon her, to give a command performance.

      While combing my hair now
      I'm wondering what to wear now (wear now)
      I say a little prayer for you (for you, ooh)
      Oh, baby
      ever
      (You'll stay in my heart and I will love you)
      (Forever) forever (and ever) ever
      (We never will part, oh, how I love you)
      (Together) togethеr (together) togethеr
      (That's how it must be to live without you)
      (Would only mean heartbreak for me)
      Ooh, ooh, ooh
      I run for the bus, dear
      While riding, I think of us, dear (us, dear), hey
      I say a little prayer for you, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (oh, shawty)
      At work, I just take time
      And all through my coffee breaktime (breaktime)
      I say a little prayer for you
      forever
      (You'll stay in my heart and I will love you)
      (Forever) forever (and ever) ever

    Every morning I take my wife her cup of coffee while she is still in bed. This morning she started singing this song while I gave her, her coffee kiss. I had not heard this song in many many years. I didn’t even know the words to it, but I did remember the tune because my mom played it on her console record player. I just told my DianaBaby, I got to learn that song. As soon as I left the bedroom, I looked it up, listen to it, read the lyrics and some of the comments and it touched my whole being. So here I am now, All I could think of was of how much I love her and everything that “Little Prayer” has done to my life. My love for you is the greatest Love of All, and i will also say A “Littel Prayer” for you, Dear God, let us continue to love one another For Ever and Ever. Amen
