I hope that I don't get cooked for this. But if nothing - I am truthful. I have never listened to Aretha Franklin.
I know who she is, I know singers have sang cover versions of her songs, buttttt.. the only song that I heard her sing directly is "Respect".
edit- I'm going to just go ahead and get this out the way- "and " sigghhhhh.
Take an afternoon and just run through some of her hits. You wont be disappointed
