If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.

I like her... I always hear a hint of melancholy in her soul performances like this one that is very refreshing. I love her midnight train to GA.

I really love it

BUT - why did they have to bring in those damn horns! She also peaks a little too soon I think, then there is nowhere to go! I would have liked her to have kept it softer for a while, and then to let rip!

BUT let's make no mistake she is THE QUEEN!

I thought she said Tina Turner was the queen. Then at Essence, Leddy called Patti Labelle the Queen. She's lucky Re-Re didn't hear that, lol!

Gonna have to check this out, Cissy Houston is hit or miss for me as a solo performer. Her vibrato is sometimes a little more broad than I care for. I'll check it out, thanks Will!

Peace.

I knew you were Kenny, just wanted to use the opportunity to bring up just how many "Queens" there are in the land of R&B.

Make no mistake Re-Re, to my mind, there's only one Queen Of Soul, lol!

Peace.

Okay, I'm pretty sure that Aretha didn't wake up one day and say to herself, "From now on, I'm to be known as the Queen of Soul."

Yo Donna, other folks are supposed to anoint you, you ain't supposed to anoint yourself. Anyway, didn't you know, disco is dead, lol! They don't call it that anymore, lol!

Peace.
