was not a big Elvis fan, but kinda thought oh, come on, a rock and roll white guy compared to her??? But they both did contribute to our musical heritage.

(16,168 posts)I was never an Elvis fan myself either. He was a little bit before my time - I was seriously into the Beach Boys back in the day.
But Aretha was so far out of their class, it's astounding. I listened to her performance at the Kennedy Center Honors for Carole King again and was blown away. When she drops the fur coat on the stage, I just lost it. And to see Barack brush away a tear. It's painful to lose her.

I hope the rest of media play that clip over and over.
