For as many times as I had seen Franklin’s Soul Sister album, I should have bought a copy earlier than I did.
I had seen the Soul Sister album in stores for so long but didn’t consider it. I only had eyes and ears for one singing Franklin. I had never heard one song by Erma Franklin so there was no burning desire to acquire her music.
Within the last few years of acquiring a lot of digital files, I managed to discover Erma Franklin’s cover of The Doors’ Light My Fire. It was fantastic and I realized that I should seek some Erma Franklin soul music when possible.
Earlier in September 2012, I was happy to see that one of the DJs I admire, DJ Center, used one of Erma Franklin’s songs in a mix.
It was obvious from the title alone that it was an album that I should own. Aretha Franklin is the Queen of Soul. Erma Franklin is literally and in more ways than one, the Soul Sister.
