The song's melody is similar to that of a spiritual and ARETHA know it...
"Border Song" is a gospel ballad originally performed by Elton John. Lyrics are credited to Bernie Taupin.
"Border Song" was Elton JOHN's first song to chart in the USA, peaking at number 92 on the Hot 100. A cover by Aretha fared better the following year reaching the top 40.
"The last verse seems to support this idea: "Holy Moses, let us live in peace/let us strive to find a way to make all hatred cease/there's a man over there. What's his colour I don't care/he's my brother let us live in peace."" WIKIPEDIA.
wow, i find it absolutely amazing that elton wrote this song. what better person to sing this song than aretha!

@CornishCockney , I love this lady, and because I care about her, that's why I said that she should take better care of herself. Do you like to see your loved ones getting shabby and neglected or when they take the time to look good and healthy? It is our responsibility to wach for our health and appeareance.

There is not a singer in this entire world who gives me the chills like Aretha. Maybe Ray Charles.

@pretorious700 , I know that time can change your appearance, and I know about aging, looking older as time goes by, but she really has changed so much and put on so much weight, don't take me wrong, but she doesn't look as if she had taken care of herself, nowadays she looks really different.
