I've had the opportunity to drive aretha when she comes to town. She is a terrible person. The first time I chalked it up to having a bad day,no big deal. 2nd, 3rd and 4th times there is no excuse for her behavior so anytime I hear anything by her it makes me sick. SUCKO BARFO ALL THE WAY!!

Come on, "Sex Machine" or "Mother Popcorn" (among many songs) by James Brown have painstakingly repetitive drum and bass patterns throughout most of the songs; are you saying that the "Godfather Of Soul" was misnamed?  I'm not sure if there is much modern music which is called "soul" anymore; there are all sorts of new labels which have been concocted.

Please DEFINE soul music? Personally I think it's nothing more than a term to say "black people singing" and therefore is a crappy ass term.

I do like this, but IMO The Commitments version had much more zip. Still, this is worth a good 7 from the Nottingham jury (9 for the Commitments cover).
 

I just love the frustration and anger in her voice as she sings. Reminds me of another song about a woman in chains—"House of the Rising Sun."

Don't stare at the banana when you listen to this song. You could have a stroke.
