And before she became an R&B singer she was marketed as a jazz singer by Columbia Records.



Also, the guy who signed her to Columbia - Jack Hammond - also signed Count Basie, Billie Holliday, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen . . . and putting together the Bennie Goodman orchestra was his idea, too. What a career . . . .

I was just listening to one of her songs and thought how her voice would sound in concert. It is cool you had that experience.

When we lose a great talent like this, I think about who those performers are today that we will be celebrating in the future. She is one of those that came at a time that will make it nearly impossible for any other performer to equal her influence. The Queen of Soul is a title that simply can't be passed on to another.

I am an 80's teen and can remember one of her comeback songs. Here it is.

There will never be another voice like hers. True greatness. The Tom Brady of her profession. Respect indeed!
