It was written by John Hurley and Ronnie Wilkins, "Son of a Preacher Man" was originally offered to Aretha Franklin, who turned it down. It was only upon hearing Springfield's version that Franklin reconsidered and recorded the song herself. i can't figure out why "Billy Ray" was the name chosen
btw my older sister actually covers bobbie gentry's ode to billy jo i think thats wut its called but her channel is like meowmixx or something like that shes one of my subscriptions...check her out shes so amazing! and thanks again
Hey Sofie I have to admit I only had time to listen to about half the song when I last commented. Listening to the rest, you finished really well, when you started letting your voice go! Of course the most important thing is soul. But wait, you have that too! Ah well...
Hey, little one, that was tremendous!! Simply gorgeous!! You do this song amazing justice!! I have no doubt we'll be hearing from you soon on even bigger airwaves!! You have a gift... keep up the most excellent work!!
Hey!!! that was wonderfull i couldnt beleive it, great job that is the best student performance of son of a preacher man i have ever heard!!! GREAT JOB =()
Came here of your sisters link, you should sing some songs in her video's that bring your voice out more, did not expect this from what I heard of you before.
Well i must say that is one of the best versions of that song i have ever heard, you aced that song beyond even the original, you have such a wonderful and powerful voice, you are so talanted, well done ^^
You really have such amazing talent, hehe wow both you and your sister are such wonderful singers who's voices reach into the hearts of who hear your music and who can truely enjoy it :P
Sophi, you have a nice voice! I saw the video of you singing with Sami, that was lovely too. So far I've heard three of you sisters who sing well - are there more? lol. Musical family - mom and or dad too? Thanks to Sami for sending this!
I love this song. Reminds me of Pulp Fiction every time. haha. You sang it well. Rushed in a few spots and choked up a little at "Stealing kisses from me on the side", BUT you recovered nicely and I enjoyed it. Also, remember don't just sing the song, live the song. You are telling a story not only with words, but your performance. Sing it with conviction. That will push you from being a good singer, into being a GREAT singer. And I agree with Sami, you look great. Can't wait to hear more. :-)
You are welcome. One thing I forgot to mention. You and Sami both have something money can't buy... Talent. People practice and practice and still don't sound as good as you do. Some singers just have a natural gift. So keep practicing and never give up. You are in a good spot. You can only go up.
Sofie, I posted a comment earlier, when you had previous vid up with wonky video. I kinda forgot what I said, but think it went something like this... First, awesome song choice - I love this song. Next, you totally owned it - this is the BEST version I've heard. Rerally. If you claim there's a better performance on vid, I can't wait to hear it. I can't believe how strong your voice is. Wow, can you ever sing!!! Thanks for posting. (And posting.) =D
this is really good! :D
