I knew she was ill so I don't mean to appear "clever" here, but I had a premonition about her this morning, and this song was my port-of-call when the news was confirmed. David Ritz (who co-wrote Marvin Gaye's autobiography) observed that Aretha takes the song where it belongs - to church.

I've always loved her funky 1971 take on this Ben E. King early 60's classic.

RIP Queen of Soul
