336: A mighty fine Aretha tribute...

Hi.
Indeed, a mighty fine Aretha tribute today!
Not all songs are penned down by her, but me guesses
they all were big hits for her, and in a way they are
immediately associated to the Queen Of Soul!
IMO nothing beats a miss Franklin original, but hey,
just deal with today's thematic terror [:-)
Hope you folks enjoy these tunes!
