The Power of her voice:
"I remember running into Sarah Vaughan, who always intimidated me. Sarah said, ‘Have you heard of this Aretha Franklin girl?’ I said, ‘You heard her do ‘Skylark,’ didn’t you?’ Sarah said, ‘Yes, I did, and I’m never singing that song again.'" https://t.co/QAVUSgfYp4 pic.twitter.com/Njhqm4ldu9

“Sarah [Vaughn] had sung ‘Misty’ — everyone had sung ‘Misty’ — but Erroll actually had tears in his eyes after hearing Aretha,” said Clyde Otis… Erroll Garner only had one critique: “Goddamn, she makes it seem like she wrote it.” https://t.co/s1myvpF7g5
