    Is there a more iconic song for any singer? Instantly recognizable. Just the essence of a great record.

    Wow... 50 years! What a classic this is.

    The 'you're running out of fools / and I ain't lying' bit is one of my all time favourite bits of ad-lining. I have to physically stop myself from singing it [[or even mouthing it) it's so darn catchy and sassy... lol

    Also, sorry this is slightly irrelevant, but please enjoy this from the UK TV programme The Last Leg...

    It won't make much sense if you haven't watched the programme before [[and this specific episode in its entirety) but here is "THE COVFEFE SONG"...!

    I never would have guessed a song I heard way back in grade school would still sound so good today. Aretha rules......!
