Well DAMN!!! I didn't know Teena could sing with her vibratto in check. Her version is AMAZING!!! eek biggrin biggrin biggrin

Gladys smoked Aretha on her version.... yassssss Gladys!!! I felt that in my soul, heart and spirit biggrin

I don't know is better but the song belongs to both of those ladies. I love Alicia's version as well, her voice is so raw on it. lol
