Aretha and Sam Cooke could sing anything and it would sound great. Aretha is my favorite female artist and Sam is my favorite male artist. If I had to choose between the two I would choose Sam.
Sam had it all, the total package and he was a very sexy handsome brilliant man. If Sam couldn't be number 1 on the list then I would rather it be the queen, Aretha.

Aretha will always be the queen of soul, and the best voice ever heard in all music genres. No one can come close to her.

When word gets out that Aretha is coming out with a new CD. It's like announcing a gang war in South Central LA. All the wannabe's, gonna be's and would've beens run to take cover so the real queen can show them how it's done.
If you doubt the existence of God...Just listen to this lady open her mouth...Her mother...HEr father...genetics...had NOTHING to do with that voice...It's truly sent from angels above.

Unfortunately, she has not put out anything refreshing lately. Her "Jewels in the Crown" was disappointing. To me Christmas music is Christmas music...no matter WHO sings it...so I didn't buy her X Mas Album..
But "Who's Zoomin Who" is undoubtedly the greatest CD ever made. She sang the hell out of that CD and displayed a fire and verve not seen in singers 1/3 her age.

It certainly isn't the day for parting with large sums of money because the chances of something going wrong are very high.
