#Aretha: you're the reason why I'm a singer today. When Amazing Grace came out, it was the first time I saw a black woman on an album cover. Aretha is sitting on the steps of a church, in front of an open doorway, and she’s wearing a beautiful African dress the color of burnt sienna lined in pink. Just seeing an American singer wearing an African dress had a huge impact on me. She’s looking right at the camera, giving a soft smile, and her eyes, they are so serene. everything about the photo—the stairs leading to the open door, her open arms—suggests pathways and possibilities.
