snip-
“Aretha’s achievements in the late ‘60s were remarkable for any artist, but especially so for a black woman in the midst of the Civil Rights movement. She held the record for the most entries on the Hot 100 list of any female artist for nearly 40 years, only to be dethroned in 2017 by Nicki Minaj.”
How can they compare a woman who earned that through sheer talent and hard work to some modern strumpet who took the honor by having hardly any competition?

Yep, the Sultan of Swat, the King of Rock and Roll, and the Queen of Soul on the same day.

A great for a time when the racial animosity was at a low ebb in this country. I long for those “Motown” days.

Lately on my satellite radio I have been listening to the 70’s and Soul channels and they play a lot of Aretha’s songs and buy they bring back great memories.
Thanks for all the great music Aretha and may God Speed!!!!

Though she was from the same neighborhood, she never signed with Motown records, she went with Atlantic.............
