Lotsa singers singing her songs.......but what i’d like to see, is ARETHA SINGING HER OWN SONGS HERSELF....... lotsa singers add their own “personality” into to her songs. I WANT TO HEAR ARETHA ONE LAST TIME doing her songs. JMHO.

She did write rock steady and think.

Otis redding wrote shake and carol king wrote natural women.

I remember her singing to Barack and Michelle Obama in her mink coat. What a joy!
