    Honest I Do (Singer: Aretha Franklin)
    Don't you know that I love you?
    Honest, I do (oh, honest, I do)
    I'd never place no one above you
    Please tell me you love me (tell me you love me)
    Stop drivin' me mad
    'Cause you're the sweetest and the best thing, baby
    (The best thing, baby)
    That I've ever had
    Oh, don't you know that I love you? (you know that I love you)
    Honest, baby, I do
    And I'd never place no one above you, no
    Oh-ooh-oh, you know I love you (oh, I love you) baby
    Honest, I do (honest, I do)
    And I'd never place, oh-oh
    No one above you, yeah, yeah, yeah
    You know that I love you, baby, love you, baby (love you, baby)
    Honest, I do (oh, honest, I do)
    And you know that I'd never place no one above you
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
    Songwriters: Jimmy Reed, Ewart Abner, Jr.

    Wikipedia states:
    Spirit in the Dark is the seventeenth studio album by American singer Aretha Franklin, released on August 24, 1970, by Atlantic Records. It received critical acclaim, but was met with middling sales, despite having two hit singles, "Don't Play That Song (You Lied)", which peaked at #1 R&B, #11 on the Hot 100, and "Spirit in the Dark", peaking at #3 R&B and #23 Hot 100, in Billboard magazine. It was Aretha's first Atlantic album to fall short of Billboard's Top 20, but it is now considered to be one of Aretha's classic Atlantic LPs.
    Aretha Louise Franklin (March 25, 1942 - August 16, 2018) was an American singer, songwriter and pianist. Referred to as the "Queen of Soul", she has twice been placed ninth in Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". With global sales of over 75 million records, Franklin is one of the world's best-selling music artists.
    As a child, Franklin was noticed for her gospel singing at New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan, where her father C. L. Franklin was a minister. At the age of 18, she was signed as a recording artist for Columbia Records. While her career did not immediately flourish, Franklin found acclaim and commercial success once she signed with Atlantic Records in 1966. Hit songs such as "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)", "Respect", "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman", "Chain of Fools", "Think", and "I Say a Little Prayer", propelled Franklin past her musical peers.
