Queen Aretha will always be among my favorite artists. She had the pipes and hell yeah, she earned that Respect.

She kept all her monies wrapped in butcher paper and stuffed up her area and when she would arrive for a show she would demand her payment for the performance in advance, take it, pull the bankroll out of her snatch, add her day's wages, roll it back up, and re-keister it!

No sweetheart, Aretha never despoiled herself with greenbacks - diamonds and rubies were her currency, and those she kept in a very special place - a small jewelry box made of sassafras.
