DEF: Scritti Politti “Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)”

Leeds, England-based group Scritti Politti‘s first trip to the Top 10 in the UK came in 1984 with their song “Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin).” In the United States, though, the song didn’t perform as well. On this date in 1986, “Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)” climbed to a peak position of number 91 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart. Today, “Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)” by Scritti Politti is the Daily Eighties Flashback.
