She was the Queen. Edit: Her version of "I Say a Little Prayer for You" is a masterpiece.

I often forget that there's a magazine named Rolling Stone and it always confuses me when things like this come up...

Let me tell you something. In a time when radio was dominated by Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, the Doors and on and on and on... This little lady stood out. She sang alongside them all, she outsang most of them.

True talent, Ms Aretha. True talent.

My favorite voice. And “Ain’t No Way” my favorite song of hers

The other day I asked my best friend what she thought the best cover song was because I had Aretha's version of Bridge Over Troubled Water stuck in my head. Surprised the hell outta me when she said the same song without me mentioning my earworm.
