“I Say a Little Prayer” was not originally planned for Aretha Franklin's 1968 album Aretha Now. During a break from the recording sessions, Aretha and her backing vocal group, The Sweet Inspirations, began singing Burt Bacharach and Hal David's song simply for fun. Producer Jerry Wexler heard them and immediately recognised that the performance was something special so he had it recorded.
Originally released in 1968 as the B-side to “The House That Jack Built,” Aretha's version quickly received enough radio airplay to become a hit in its own right. It reached No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 3 on the R&B Singles chart and No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming her ninth consecutive Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. Decades later, Bacharach and David both praised Franklin's interpretation, with Bacharach saying that she had made a better record than the original.
I knew I needed to be at this show even though Giants Stadium wasn’t my favorite venue & I had just landed a dream job of cooking backstage at rock shows in Chicago

Light-hitting Yankees shortstop Bucky Dent lofts a dramatic, go-ahead three-run home run in the seventh inning — helping lift New York to 5-4 victory over the Red Sox in the AL East Tiebreaker Game at Boston's Fenway Park.
De las veredas y los subterráneos de Nueva York a los escenarios más grandes del planeta.
Leo P no llegó con un contrato bajo el brazo, sino que llegó con un saxo barítono, un cuerpo que no para de moverse y la terquedad de quien toca para la gente que pasa apurada, para el que deja una moneda y para el que se queda hipnotizado.
Ese video fue su salto al estrellato: energía de calle, sudor, ritmo que no pide permiso... logrando más de 10M de visibilidad... Ahí empezó todo.
Como tantos grandes que salieron del asfalto, los que primero tocaron en esquinas, en estaciones, en plazas, hasta que el mundo no tuvo más remedio que escucharlos.
De la calle al Royal Albert Hall; De Too Many Zooz en Union Square a compartir escenario con Beyoncé. Del rechazo de algunos profesores que decían que no se podía tocar bien bailando, a volverse una de las figuras más reconocibles del saxo contemporáneo, tanto en internet como en las calles.
Esta es la evolución de Leo P: no cambió de instrumento, cambió de escenario... el mismo fuego, la misma danza, el mismo sonido grave que parece salir de las entrañas de la ciudad.
La calle no es el final. A veces es la mejor escuela que existe para muchos músicos.
Porque el talento verdadero no espera un estudio de grabación.... Sale a la calle, se gana a la gente y, si resiste, termina conquistando la cima. 🎷
CNBC on the September jobs report: "A bit of a disappointment. Expecting 90,000, comes in at 29,000. And we see two month revisions down 60,000 ... average hourly earnings -- this is a big miss. Big, big miss. We were expecting up three tenth. This comes in at one tenth."
BREAKING: Don Mattingly will not return as the #Phillies’ manager in 2027, per @BNightengale.
The team will announce the decision as a mutual parting, and will offer Mattingly a chance to stay in the organization, perhaps as an advisor.
