Genya was so earthy & soulful. Radio did not play gutsy rock sung by women in the 70's. There were very few who got any play or a hit. Genya deserved a bigger career. The fans know her work & know she was there first in the 60s & 70s.
I sometimes found myself thinking the same way. But it is probably not YouTube. The videos are here, because people loved the music. They are watched by the same, I venture. If rock history depends on the absence of a power-fail, we are already screwed.
I love Aretha Franklin's voice. She's Aretha Franklin and a great singer. As is Genya Ravan. None of both have a problem with this, I might venture. As you seem to know "Aretha" much better, you should tell us.

I had no idea that Whippin' Post was a Genya Ravan original. My hat's off to her on a great song and a great performance.

Just a big thanks to beegirl. This is great. I have what, might be, their first album. Have not
found any You Tube posts for Cold Blood and/or Lydia. Really amazed at the range of music on YT. Keeping alive rock history is a beautiful thing.

The producer is Just Blaze...he chopped this so nicely.
This song is dope on its' own merit. She's singing like her life depends on it...she makes Janis Joplin sound like Mary Poppins.
