You listen to her and then realize how we as a society have cheapened the word diva by using it to describe anyone who has a hit single these days

Amen to that! I thought about this song, didn't put it up ... too close to the bone right now ... but, her phrasing and feeling in this song is something. As for hit single diva's? True dat. There's no magical electronics used for Aretha's voice enhancement! Thanks for this and your insight
