It’s April 1968 and Aretha Franklin is in the studio recording her next album. During a break, she and her backup singers, The Sweet Inspirations, mess around and start singing “I Say a Little Prayer,” a Burt Bacharach and Harold David song that Dionne Warwick had recently released.
Producer Jerry Wexler picks his head up and is smitten. He decided right there that they need that song on the album. The rest, as they say, is history. It went onto be one of Aretha’s biggest hits.
