Erma Franklin
Before there was Aretha, there was Erma. And get this; not only do they share the same last name and a father who was a preacher, but I think they might be sisters. Actually, they are sisters. That’s some freaky shit. Like some massive deep-state conspiracy freaky shit. Fuck it, let’s dance. This is another premium example of an downtempo/uptempo flip. Try ’em both. The A-side is ice cold and the B-side is spicy hot. Next to Temptation Is Calling My Name, the back-up singers on the B-side are the penultimate in sassafras.
