Respect.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

As a white boy growing up in the 60's, there were a couple of great voices that let you into soul: Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye come to mind. For me, Aretha was one of those voices. Queen of Soul. I''ll say a little prayer for you.

What was amazing is that she remained so relevant throughout the years. My first real exposure to her (apart from anything greatest hit related) was "A Rose Is Still A Rose" in '98.

A few of my other all time favorites:

Climbing Higher Mountains

Her "Let It Be" cover

I Never Loved A Man

The undisputed, irreplaceable, unrepeatable Queen of Soul. There is no other!

She was certainly deserved to be near the top of anyone's list of greatest vocalists, especially in her genre of music.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
