Search OnAretha Franklin

Songwriter: Nick Johnson Chuck Jackson

Producer: Arif Mardin

When I talk to you, you seem so confused
You don't know what to do, you say your whole life has been misused
Your direction is not clear, love in your life you've never meet
When I talk to you this way, I leave now only one thing to say

(Search on) Search on for love
And try not to let the search get you down, someday you'll find it
(Search on) I know you'll find it

Search on for love
And let nothing stand in your way, I know you'll find it
(Search on) Someday you'll find your love

You've been hurt by love and it's changed the way you feel
You've been deserted by love so now the whole thing seems so unreal
So the question is now, do I turn and just walk away
Or do I stand up and fight, oh, yeah, what do I do?
What?
Oh, keep saying

(Search on) Search on for love
And let nothing stand in your way, I know, I know, I know, I know you'll find it
(Search on) I know you'll find it, yeah

(Search on) Search on for love
And try not to let the search get you down, I know you'll find it
(Search on) Someday you'll find your love

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.
