My Kind Of Town (Detroit Is) [Demo]Aretha Franklin

Released: September 30, 2020

[Verse 1]
My kind of town, Detroit is
My kind of town, I tell ya, it is
My kind of people too
They're just like you
They smile at you and
Each time I roam Detroit, it's
Callin' me home, I tell ya, it is
My kind of town, and it won't let you down
This is my kind of town

[Verse 2]
My kind of town, Detroit is
My kind of town, don't you know it is
They've got that real crazy dress
It gives me a blast, ain't that a gas?
And each time I leave Detroit, it's
Tugging at my sleeve, I tell ya, it is
It's my kind of town, and it just won't let you down
This is my kind of town

[Verse 3]
Ooh, they've even got the swinging Miracles
I tell ya that that Smokey is just too lyricals
They've even got those real red-hot Four Tops
They got rid of those slick dos for some all-natural mops
My kind of town, it won't let you down
This is my, this is my kind of town

Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin is both a 20th and 21st century musical and cultural icon known simply by her first Aretha. She is the reigning and undisputed “Queen Of Soul” with a legacy that spans five decades. A native of Detroit, Michigan, Aretha began her career singing gospel at her father, minister C. L. Franklin’s church as a child. In 1960, at the age of 18, Aretha embarked on a secular career, recording for Columbia Records with modest success.

After moving to Atlantic Records in 1967, she released a steady string of US top ten hits through 1973 including “Spanish Harlem”, “Chain Of Fools”, “Baby I Love You”, “Since You’ve Been Gone”, “Daydreaming”, “The House That Jack Built”, “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman", ”Think“ and her first chart-topper “Respect” – a song that also won Aretha her first of 18 Grammys. During this time, several of her songs were also successful overseas.

By the mid-70s, Aretha’s commercial success waned and she left Atlantic for Clive Davis' Arista Records in 1980. Her 1982 song “Jump to It,” returned her to the top 40 for the first time in six years. 1985’s Who’s Zoomin' Who? got her back into the top 10 twice with its title track and “Freeway Of Love”. Four more songs reached the top 40 through 1986.
