MEMPHIS TN (IFS) -- In the early days before the Columbia Records deal after church, the local artists would gather in Aretha's Living Room, writing songs. In the old days, RG Ingersoll remembered writing his very first songs in Aretha Franklin's living room always with a surprise gathering no matter what Sunday you came.
Somedays it may be you and Mitch Ryder, McKinley Jackson, George Clinton, and Mickey Stevenson,
Somedays, it's you, Smokey Robinson, Yusef Lateef, James Jameson and Eddie Holland. Sometimes, it's you and Aretha, the Franklin Sisters, Lamont Dozier, Lee Rogers, John Lee Hooker, Lowell Fulson, Denise LaSalle and lots of food.
The last song that Ingersoll wrote for Aretha was "Something To Believe In" with the demo sung by Diane Anderson. It took over three (3) months before Aretha got back in touch. She told RG that she had decided to stop recording and told Ingersoll that he had a "hit" record with that demo. Just give it a chance." Franklin Added/
