🎧 #ArethaFranklin covered "Spanish Harlem" in 1971. #PhilSpector and #JerryLieber wrote the song first recorded by #BenEKing in 1960. Aretha's version changed the lyric from the original:

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem

-to-

There's a rose in Black 'n Spanish Harlem.
A rose in Black 'n Spanish Harlem
