    Think how long Aretha has been around, she did not have to dress half naked, or her back up singers. She did not have to tweak her butt or having fireworks going off behind her, like the majority of singers do this day and age......She was a beautiful woman and her voice will ringing in our ears for years to come.

    • @JCole-fg3rr
      @JCole-fg3rr 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Let’s be clear, Aretha was very in touch with her sexuality and a lot of things she wore back in the day were considered risqué and garnered negative attention. If a woman wants to dress sexy and have a huge production behind her. She has every right too. I wish you women would stop living these standards men have set in place for y’all.
