      Aretha has no rivals - sane people know this. Labelle is mediocre in comparison, a loud noise with an ugly sharp tone with very poor phrasing and average agility that barely gets a mention when it comes to great voices. Only a nut compares that to a voice which tops every industry poll as the greatest voice in recording history.
