Isn’t it funny how a fully clothed woman, standing in one place snapping
her fingers , wearing her real hair and letting her real voice do all the
work is far more sexy and impressive than a half naked glorified stripper
in a wig, who dry humps background dancers while she “sings” to a backed
track?

Isn’t it even funnier how these clowns like Beyonce like to say they were
inspired by these real singers? Sorry B, Ms. Franklin is something you’ll
never be– a lady.

Tahron Davis says:

Damn the Soul in this song! 

bon ami says:

Love the soulful tone of this woman’s voice. Her phrasing, impeccable.
Great singing is more than histrionics, acrobats, and hitting ‘high
notes’. I rarely hear Aretha over singing or straining beyond her range.
She hits that money spot of hers in an assured way that I can appreciate.
