  • aretha's voice is good but she cant touch shirley brown i seen shirley perform last month in nashville and her voivoice is one of a kind hands down

  • It's really not important who "copied" whom. When Shirley came to Stax in 1974, they were envisioning her as the "next " Aretha. She's a few years younger than Aretha, and Aretha was already singing gospel professionally in her teens -- no doubt Shirley developed her style listening to Aretha. But what better role model could a singer have? Shirely's voice is magnificent and undiminished. As Tommy Couch Jr. of Malaco Records once said: "God don't have angels that can sing as pretty."

  • @tdwh419 Perhaps she did! However, her voice is much stronger than Aretha's! Aretha has lost much of her power and vocal range! I love Aretha but Shirley is clearly a much better singer... Maybe 30 years ago I could not have made such a statement!

  • @sacauxlait469 Umm no you can clearly see she copied Aretha's version but it still was good. Shirley canalso sing you can tell she got her chops straight from the church!

  • @TheSoulVault Perhaps Aretha copied Shirley Brown! Maybe you do not know who Shirley Brown is! She's been around a long time! Do you remember "Woman to Woman"?

  • @TheSoulVault How can I see Aretha's version.

  • She straight up copied Aretha's version. Literally, note for note. That's not very "soulful" ms. brown.

  • Lord, she remind me too much of Aretha....or vice versa...who eva is older! But, Lord,forgive me, but I gotta say it like this, who in the hell on organ???? LORD HAVE MERCY!!

  • Thank you for posting this. I send my condolences to the family and may you continue to be blessed in all that you do! Rest in Peace...J. Blackfoot!
