    Song: Today I Sing the Blues

    Today I Sing the Blues" is a song written by Curtis Lewis and performed by Aretha Franklin. The song reached number 10 on the U.S. R&B chart in 1960.The song appeared on her 1961 album, Aretha.

    The lyrics say: Without a word of warning
    The blues walked in this morning
    And circled around my lonely room
    I didn't know why I had that sad and lonely feeling
    Until my baby called and said we we're through, ooh
    For yesterday, this time
    I sang a love story
    But today, I'm singing the blues …

    The lyrics start off in a very creative way. The writer talks about the blues like it's a person. That's called personification. Aretha Franklin sang the song with her own unique soulful sound.
