Possibly the greatest female vocalist ever ! Unique and superbly sublime vocalist! No wonder she is the most charted female singer. My words are not enough !

[@petec9686]

There ain't no possibly about it. Her range, power and spot on pitch are unmatched

[@CthtoNicfly5]

Right, also Linda Maria Ronstadt, Karen Carpenter. That sums it up for my lifetime.

Not possibly, but certainly

[@davepike6170]

That opening guitar line, still gives me the chills, even before Lady Aretha begins to sing!!! An incredible song when I was a kid, and today!

[@homoerectus744]

Sho nuff, it reminds you...whether you want to remember,or not,but you welcome it,cause you don't want to walk away.

Probably my favorite Aretha tune, of many favorites. That's REAL Soul Pop Funk R&B folks. The guitar is swampy grittiness from the drop, and the bass...the whole thing man. It's 2 and a half minutes of glory.

As soon as he comes in on the intro, you're in it as it creeps up on ya.ya know what's coming,that familiar blues surrender,kind of a trepidation of what's coming next.you lost.but you accept it,cause you ain't got nothing else.

I pray that Jennifer comes out if that evil trap ...To tell us her real storey ~ Those bastards murdered her family members. It's a "contract". I pray that Jennifer comes out of this to tell the world her truth . She's extremely gifted. With or without them. FACT. 💪💌💜👍

Rosie Gaines use to sing with Prince ....Rosie sounded so much like Aretha. Them two are on the same level with the voice.

[@AndySaenz]

Aretha is probably the only singer that moves me to tears. She makes you feel something inside your soul. That’s why she’s the queen of soul forevermore.

[@mesolithicman164]

I thought it _was_ Staples Snr on lead! Great sound.

[@mesolithicman164]

Aretha was awesome but for whatever reason there were a few other great singers who, given better songs and good management could have done more. I'm thinking, for one, about the girl that sang with Ray Charles on You are My Sunshine and the Right Time. Margie Hendrix, a fantastic voice but a career that went nowhere, unfortunately. Just one example. Timi Yuro had a huge voice as demonstrated on her record Cuttin' In. But being the right person with the right support and great material is so important to a musician's success. But no doubt Aretha was a 'phenom', as they say these days.
