Arethas versh has been getting a right hammering recently (particularly at Norfolk weekenders). Now I know I'm going to get a bit of stick about this but personally I just think, she (Aretha) is 'ok' as a singer . I've started playing the Baby Washington versh (Cotillion) at Elliott towers and to my inexperienced ears it's the better of the two. Now to the original point, How many versions of this are there?

I think I've got about three, Supremes & Four Tops is a goodie and I seem to remember theres a version by George Benson on the same album as the sublime 'My womans good to me'. Any others?

Regards

Jim.

Liza Minnelli

Barbara Morrison

Big John Patton

Esther Phillips

Dusty Springfield

Supremes

Id better get searching for the Liza Minelli version. Someone will probably cover that up if they get their hands on it If John Valenti gets a spin who knows??! Dear oh dear.

Thanx for the list

why does Aretha get such a bad reception on Soul Source ?

She has released many fantastic underated ballads I reckon some soul sourcer's shoudl go and seek these out

Always did my napper in, even when I was a teenager "Oh, I'm into Northern - Aretha and Otis and James Brown are all commercial rubbish"

I still can't listen to Spanish Harlem without getting a shiver

I've got a shit version by The Ones on Motown. Awful white pop/rock version I unwisely took a blind punt on.

I'd agree with that Jim as much as i like Arethas version i much prefer Baby W's much better dancer IMVFHO and has a sleazyness that Arethas doesn't have

Good god in heaven, you don't like Aretha.......jesus then there is a place waiting for you in hell.....

Arethas version of dont etc, is fantastic, as Joe Orton says check her album only tracks for undiscovered wonders.
