Of all the "Boomers Return" albums of this era, Ragged Glory hit the hardest at the time, and still does: legit held its own with then-contemporary rock, no grading curve needed
Wishing a happy 80th birthday to Neil Young by playing "Country House," the first song on Ragged Glory, the album turned me into a lifelong fan way back in 1990. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8czL...

Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.
