Aretha Soars
Have you ever been so blown away by a few notes in a song upon first listen that you remember exactly where you were when you heard them for the first time?
“Skylark.” 1:57. Aretha Franklin, from Sweet Bitter Love.

Give it a listen right here. You may remember where you were when you first heard those notes too. And no cheating by moving ahead–it’s the wait that makes the notes count. Aretha was smart enough, even in this early recording, to know how to be patient enough to deliver the goods toward the end of the song to get the greatest impact.
