October 5: You make me feel so alive… “Natural Woman” performed by Aretha Franklin and written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin. (I did Carole King’s version of this song for my Auntie Dee’s birthday last November but when birthday girl Louisa Borden requested it this week, as sung by Aretha, I could not say no.) Check out Aretha’s tribute to Carole at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2015. LYRICS & SONGFACTS SPOTIFY
