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.Last edited by Guest; 28-12-12, 20:21.
