    Personally I am dancing to Spanish Harlem and shedding tears as the greatest popular music recording artist of the twentieth century has died.

    Good choice. Very sad. I could link to anything she sang and it would be amazing....

    Thanks Algo, Did you know Spanish Harlem was written by Phil Spector? Earlier version pale against Aretha's.

    I also particularly like the phrasing (if not particularly the sentiment) of Say a little Prayer -

    The moment I wake up - before I put on my make up

    shamefully I know very little about Phil Spector.

    I think your claim about the greatest popular music recording artist of the twentieth century is a valid and beautiful sentiment - I may reserve the same claim for Stevie...
