Thanks Todd. Here’s “Freeway of Love” (Pink Cadillac). I challenge anyone not to move when this is playing:

I have a dozen or so Aretha Franklin CDs. Loved her music back in the Sixties when I was really into MOTOWN. I have a fondness for the two CDs Aretha did with Luther Vandross: GET IT RIGHT and JUMP TO IT.
Though in some senses she was digging deeper than Motown tended to...like Ray Charles, she was incorporating nearly everything she loved into her music, very much including the gospel feel that Motown tended to move away from most of the time.
I should listen more to her later work as well.
