Hmmm....interesting. I don´t particularly like Aretha´s sound. It´s too predictable for my taste, but it´s just a matter of taste...you like what you like and I like what I like. Who can explain it? Sometimes I get annoyed with too many embellishments.
How about Celine? I love her sound, particularly in My Heart Will Go On. Then, tastes can change too.
I do love Dolly´s version too...I love Dolly....although under normal conditions I would not care for that type of music, but Dolly is special....
That song was at the height of Whitney´s career, it´s sad to see what appears to have become of her since then.
It´s hard to explain. I love music from the heart (and soul) - who could not love songs like "Change is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke. "When a Man Loves a Woman" Percy Sledge or pretty much anything by Aretha Franklin - Still - each to their own I guess
