I'm one of those people who does not agree with this thread. She is far from the "greatest".

Mind you, I am not talking about Aretha the person but Aretha the singer. Compared to some other notable singers such as Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald and Dionne Warwick Aretha is a howler in the context of a Whitney Houston - especially when she sings Gospel.

It takes more than volume to make a great singer.

Both Aretha and Elvis died on the same calendar date, August 16th. He was 42 and she 74.

The next time you need a trivia question....pull that one out of your hat. (or wherever you keep your trivia)

Just how was I "tactless"? I disagreed with the title of "the greatest" that virtually everyone else put on her singing (not on her person) and provided reasons why I feel this way. You said "one of the greatest" and I would still disagree with that as well, and for the identical reasons. You don't agree with me - that's fine. Everyone is entitled to an opinion.
