Ahh, okay.
I got mixed up somehow or another.
I’ll blame it on my failing memory.

Soul music was king here in York, PA when I was in high school in the mid 1960’s. If you were a DJ or a band at a dance, you didn’t play Beatles, if you valued your safety.

But your error is common. A few years ago on a cruise, we heard a tribute to Motown, which included some numbers from Aretha. I mentioned it to a classmate of mine, and asked here if she knew what was wrong with that. She said, what I said, that Aretha never sang a note for Motown Records, at least back in the heyday of soul, although she might have more recently.

Some of the biggest soul music stars were not with Motown - James Brown, Joe Tex, Aretha, Ray Charles, Wilson Picket.
