In a musical career that spanned more than five decades, Aretha Franklin had over 100 singles on the Billboard charts. But more importantly, says Jon Pareles, chief popular music critic for The New York Times, she freed other singers to let their voices fly.
I don't know. Like Prince, Michael, Bob Marley, James Brown, Clive Bradley, Sparrow and select few, Aretha was special. The next great one might one already be here.

There won't be another 60s, so I don't thing there will be one like her.
