Aretha's version is a knockout, and so are the following:

Baby Huey & The Babysitters do a killer version of it as well  It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

You might like Otis Redding's version.  He's got horns in his. | |

My favorite version is actually by Evelyn King, who recorded a more upbeat version of it on her 1985 album "A Long Time Coming". "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

I've never liked how Otis changed the melody of the chorus.  "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

The lyrics were slightly different too. The song became less gospel and more blues and it sounded like the end of a relationship rather than a social commentary. | |

It's not a bad take -- I mean, it is Otis, after all -- but it doesn't have the same weight Sam's version does."Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

I thought Sananda/TTD did a killer job with it. | |

there are some good remakes of it, but to me none of them is as electrifying as sam's version. | |
