Yeah, there was already a Tina Turner but Aretha took Otis's song about a relationship and turned it into a statement of black female pride and independence just by the way she sang it. It's brilliant, it floors me everytime I hear it.

That's a killer Otis album the original is from too, Otis Blue. It's got his cover of the Stones' "Satisfaction" that was written with his style in mind. This was, of course, also at Muscle Shoals. I think it's the same musicians w/ Steve Cropper and those guys.

Darius: "Greatest 60's soul track?"

Could be. It's either that or something from Otis.
