For most of us, the Star Spangled Banner is the only song we've heard her sing - except for maybe Oh Canada if a Canadian team was playing at Amalie Arena. In the interview I mentioned the cover Sonya did of Aretha Franklin's classic "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman." When Aretha Franklin passed away in 2018, it was a blow to Sonya. Aretha is clearly a big inspiration as you listen to her deliver her version! It's spectacular!
New Lightning T-Shirts For Tampa Area Charities
The Tampa Bay Lightning have a new line of player-designed hats and shirts that help out some great local charities. $10 of every hat and t-shirt sold will benefit a local charity of the player's choice.
