  • You are so correct......each artist brings their own magic to a song!

  • I don't think it matters who sang it better ( although I do prefer Donny's). They are both inimitable performers. And they loved each other, Donny and Aretha, so there would never be competition between them anyway.

  • Aretha's vocals are phenomenal. I love her interpretation of this classic.

  • @deeway1963 Yes All hail the Queen she is forever phenomenal, and another great singer is Oleta Adams the Emperess.- Her voice soaks into your soul like rain. Have you ever heard her sing Holy is the Lamb? and When love comes to the rescue?- two extraordinary songs - check them out on her playlist for a real treat - I would love to hear these two together- My, My, My...

  • In my most humble opinion, Aretha Franklin is simply one the greatest...if not the greatest...female singers that the good Lord ever graced us with here on earth. She can sing anything and make you feel the passion of each word, right to the very core of your heart. She just get's inside your soul and smashes it to bit's! All Hail The Queen!

  • @hollidayevery Thank you for that very open minded and mature comment!

  • Her nickname shoulda been "silky slim"

  • @midnitehour1 There is nothing odd about Aretha's voice here, this is a very young Aretha but still an amazing and Aretha and an amazing interpretation. I like Donny's as well but this version has a very special place in my heart.

  • @TheAulegend Aretha's voice sounds odd here, not as refined as on a lot of her classics. Her vibrato especially isn't as strong. But then if she was still in her early 20's that might explain it. I think after hearing the vocal excellence that is Donny's version it's really hard for anyone to come behind that. I will say this, Billie's version is DIVINE. Not nearly as polished as the others technically, but the extremely sentimental.
