Till you come back to me, Respect.  There are so many it is difficult to choose but I have to say out of all the female singers, Aretha had the most soulful voice.  May you rest in peace, Aretha.

Wow! Tough decision. But I will say Freeway of Love, and Say a Little prayer.....I also love Respect and Who's Zoomin Who? Did anyone watch the special on ABC last night on her? It was really well done!!!!!

 And I RESPECT Aretha Franklin because, unlike a Motown singer I could mention, no one will ever have to say of her, "She slept her way to the top."

The album "Amazing Grace" is absolutely amazing. Will be listening to that on Sunday while I have my private Tribute to The Queen.

Chain of Fools.  She had some great songs to dance to.

Say A Little Prayer

I can't even think of one I don't like.  Her voice was magic.

I believe that 'Natural Woman' is a Carole King song, though, no?   Not that Ms Franklin didn't do it justice.  She killed it.

I liked all of the songs mentioned here.  It was impossible not to love any song she sang.

I was listening to EW Radio yesterday.  They were talking about her and her early years.  They said the TV shows always knew to go to her because she didn't need anything to magnify her voice or even any backup singers.  They said if you listen carefully, you'd hear her tap the microphone to make sure it was on.  

She was the real deal.  Not many people are these days....period.
