- Probably the "If ya got it, ya flaunt it" principle at work. I don't like
- all the songs sung by the trio mentioned above, but you've to admit that
- they have the most amazing voices. Look at the wimpy wannabees like Gloria
- Estefan or Mariah Carey, they don't come anywhere close no matter how hard
- they try.

- My personal fave's Aretha, though. That's why it was such a thrill to hear
- her in person the other day.
