Covered #10: Soulful & Chilled Out Tribute To Yacht Rock

Aretha Franklin’s version of ‘What a fool believes’ is nice and danceable, but for some reason it is not as intense and soulful as the one from Michael McDonald and the Doobie Brothers, even though Aretha is often called ‘the Queen of Soul’. It was recorded in 1980 when Aretha did not know where to go to with her career, but her voice was still great at that time.
Enjoy the funky chill side of yacht rock! Next week I will upload a new part of Boombox.
