Trivia:

"Son Of A Preacher Man" was written with Aretha Franklin, who was the daughter of a preacher man (the Reverend C.L. Franklin), in mind. She apparently considered it disrespectful. The song was then offered to British singer Dusty Springfield and was included on her celebrated 'Dusty In Memphis' album.The Queen Of Soul re-considered and included a cover of the song on her 1970 album 'This Girl's In Love With You".
