Did anyone see the Grammy's the year that Aretha ( no last name needed ) stood in for the larengitis stricken Pavaratti (sorry for the spelling)? WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about range and power. I knew that Aretha could sing, but she SANG that song like she was a trained opera vocalist. That was probaly the best case of getting the chills from a vocalist that I will ever get. That was definitely a once in a lifetime kind of experience. I gained a much higher level of respect for Aretha . Not only did she bring the house to it's feet with a standing ovation, but she left me, and the whole entertainment world talking about it the following day. I still remeber the headline " All Hale the Queen of Soul and Opera"
