not many people (especially white male singers) would have the grace, nerve and talent to take on this tune after Aretha. the big man had no such qualms. missing you today, Jackie - 3 years gone - spun 'remember' yesterday and remembered your savage beauty... miss you. thank god you churned out so much sound while you were here!
+pipeandslippersman Actually the tune was from Burt Bacharach and Hal David, sung by Dionne Warwick. Aretha Franklin's version is the more famous one and a great cover.
What a song - very brave of the big man to tackle this soul classic.
A cover version which deserves to be widely heard 👍🤩
I say a little prayer to you, Jackie! I miss you and your stories in these times!
