    When my wife listened to this song she smiled and sang along. It was the last time I saw her really happy. A couple of days ago she suddenly died. We were together for 36 years. This song will always remind me of her last smile.

      @Alexej Svirid can’t you not just listen to the bloody song rather than preach, if Jesus will solve all our problems why has my nan got dementia and looking after her is killing my gran the same gran who has had breast cancer stage 3, who worked for many years in a weary physical job with poly myagria rheumatica, arthritis, 2 knee replacements one of which is bodged. 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.

      @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
      share - sorry. 🤟🏻🕊️

    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

    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.

      Wonderful times kept only in my memory
      Warm breezes of love through so many days and nights
      Persecution brings everything back to the first wish
      Oppression makes you worry for me, tormented and restless
      Most people are Gods descended to the world to await the Creator
      Atheism and evolutionary theory are deceiving people
      Modern notions and conduct are dead ends with no way out
      The meaning of life is to return to heaven
      To tell the truth to all beings
      To keep you away from troubles
      Wonderful times kept only in my memory

      Let us part, so you will not be hurt
      For I want to tell people where life’s meaning lies
      Most people are Gods incarnate, awaiting the Creator
      Atheism and evolutionary theory are destroying mankind
      Modern notions and conduct are errors in life
      For the salvation of you and the world’s people
      I want to spread the truth all over China and beyond

      ***
      No Other Choice
      I met you on the journey of life
      Love seeded in our hearts
      Yet I am persecuted; to not bring you trouble
      I left, for I had no other choice
      Most people of the world are Gods incarnate
      Awaiting the Creator’s salvation
      Atheism and evolution are false doctrines
      Modern notions and conduct are harming us
      To spread this important message
      I am persecuted, so we have to part
      When the red tide falls, you and I shall meet again

    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.

      The moment I wake up
      Before I put on my makeup (makeup)
      I say a little prayer for you
      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
      (We never will part, oh, how I love you)
      (Together) together (together) together

    With all due respect to Dionne Warwick who recorded the original in 1964, Aretha OWNS this song. While Warwick's version was pure light pop (which was terrific, mind you), Aretha's version put solid unadulterated muscle and soul to the tune, elevating it from a mere popular tune to an unforgettable soul classic.
