Aretha Franklin
There is no denying that even though years of smoking have damaged The Queen of Soul’s vocals, she is undoubtedly at the top of the list for her many smash hits during the late 60s and throughout the 70s and 80s. It is most unfortunate that Aretha does not have a lot of writing credits for her material but her recordings are timeless and will certainly go down in history as some of the best music. You owe it to yourself to check out some of her earlier material like “Angel,” “Call Me” and more on YouTube.

You should add soul/disco singer Loleatta Holloway. Her voice was crazy.
