nice words Dougie...speaking of driving.....a little story.....i heard a tune on a radio station called Wufo in Buffalo..primarily playing R&B and Soul as a teen at the time...called Tip Toe by Robert Parker...couldt find it here in TO...so what did i do?..i drove my Volkswagon Bug to Buffalo and found the single in a record store...thats how i was so hooked on that style of music...i still have the single featured here in this video...i love the girl back up singers

I love it. That's dedication. Growing up my favorite radio station was WBLK 93.7 also stationed in Buffalo. Toronto didn't have a 24/7 station dedicated to black music. All we had was Saturday afternoon rap/hip hop on CKLN 88.1 from 1-4 courtesy of DJ Ron Nelson.

He got it right. So did Aretha Franklin, albeit a different era.

Aretha definetly changed her style later in her career...........she started as a female romantic "crooner".....joined Atlantic Records where she became a Soul Singing superstar..and then this style...pop/disco.......but one thing always remained..her great voice...

im not sure of the actual time line..or even the radio station....but i remember a segment , late at night featuring a DJ named Glenn Watters..known as "Big G", who played alot of Soul and R&B....and the late Don Daynard on his Saturday night show had a pretty good sampling of that type of music
