I love Aretha - as I've related (countless times), I was deprived of "soul" music as a youngster, because of very bigoted parents. I didn't even know who she was until I got out of high school.  Once those chains were broken, I "discovered" her, and holy cow - this woman could sing the rings off Saturn.

Well, my appreciation is better late than never.  This song is a solid 10. {#Notworthy}
 

I agree...  well said...  miss you...

This is one example of a song that is much better on vinyl.

I tried to feel jaded about this song, but when it came to rating, I couldn't honestly give it less than 10. This is Godlike. It has a palpable sense of divinity about it.

you said everything i was thinking. in my case i grew up with parents only allowing classical music in the house, but when i got "out", i too walked into a whole new world...and never felt so alive. solid 10 from my end too.
