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 warningThe blues walked in this morningAnd circled around my lonely roomI didn't know why I had that sad and lonely feelingUntil my baby called and said we we're through, oohFor yesterday, this timeI sang a love storyBut 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. Thank you for listening to Podcast and Blues.
