It's just a big NO to Aretha's bland version. The Doobie's will always be the go-to for their song.

But as a good successor for the 21st century.... The Hindley Street Country Club, out of Australia, does a stellar job. They do a little bit different section in the middle that's a nice switch.

I like both versions but Aretha's has more of an edge for me.

Doobies for sure. I never knew Aretha covered this.

Her version isn't bad though. She sure as hell had some star power behind her

on this song. David Foster on piano, Louis Johnson on bass, Jeff Porcaro on drums,

David Sanborn on sax, and Hamish Stuart(AWB) background vocals

Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint
