Wonderful news! I am still moved by her early work such as "Bridge over troubled water". And soul classics such as "Rock Steady"! And "Until till you come back to me"...
Happy B-day Aretha!

Several years after Aretha did her legendary "You Better Think" song in the movie "The Blues Brothers", she did a free taping at Music Hall to make a public service commercial against drinking and driving whose theme was also called "You Better Think"... It was a free mini-concert with the audience as part of the commercial. She was very gracious on stage, and talked to the audience between takes.
God bless her... I hope that her health issues got her to slim down some....
Ann DeLisi's Essential Music program today was in honor of Aretha's 70th! Great show!!!
