I can not ignore the voice and sheer talent that Aretha Franklin has showcased. Let it be known that she is the quintessential Queen of Soul. Ive always enjoyed her popular songs such as, Respect, Think, and A Natural Woman. Such hits were created when she signed on to Atlantic. Her albums, Lady Soul and Soul 69 show how deep the woman can go.


When I got older I started looking back at her years when she was with Columbia Records. I was taken back to hear a different sound than what I was used to. I heard a strong jazz influence. I loved it! Songs like, Nobody Like You and Skylark are some of her best songs from Columbia. A deeper appreciation for her music came from my soul searching of Aretha. It was her Columbia years that I chose the song for this episode.

I was happy to have on board Dj Drez remixing her song, One Step Ahead. He gave it a little update that I find enjoyable and fitting to my style of painting. Drez has been a strong pillar in LAs Hip Hop culture and continues to push the sound to new levels. Having him on the After Midnight series is a blessing and a new direction.
