🎧 Morning, y'all. First Friday music — "Son of a Preacher Man" performed by #ArethaFranklin (1969).
John Hurley and Ronnie Wilkins wrote the song in 1968 with Aretha in mind, but #AtlanticRecords boss #JerrtWexler gave it to #DustySpringfield who was recording in #Memphis at the time. That's the version most remember.
Aretha recorded it the next year. I love the song and both interpretations.
