I agree Barry - Not her sort of music at all. Nessun Dorma she should have left well alone.


Having said that Aretha Franklyn was a great artist. I thought she was older than 75 - she seems to have been around for such a long time. RIP Aretha Franklyn.

I am sorry that she died and suffered illness but the BBC is going overboard.
Same here. It's far too "Gospelly" for my taste. not my cup of tea at all - still, each to their own.

Re: Aretha Franklin

I didn't expect anything actually, which is why I never listened or much liked her genre.
