    None of these bubble gum pop stars could hold a candle to Aretha's talent. Singing without all the synthesized ranges.
    Her cameo in The Blues Brothers was great.

    Was a sad day Our church music director comes out of the jazz scene in Detroit from the same roots as Aretha Franklin. Gritty edgy and REAL!
