        A very good singer who even made it to Womad in 2001. Sadly, I took a break from it that year. Remarkable though Aretha was/is, The Guardian hovers close to an interesting point. The accolades there can be overdone, given that there were many great singers in that era. In fact, a little controversially, I would say that I tend to hear AF even in the 1960s a little differently post Whitney and not always for the better. Clearly Fontella Bass was one of several singers at that time who had very many strings to her bow.
