I was in the audience during the original taping attempt, which had to be stopped, due to a chest muscle she had pulled a few days earlier in Detroit , when over zealous fans pulled her off the state by accident. Some time later, she came back and I was there as well. Aretha, Queen of Soul, is a modern day musical treasure! Happy B-Day Miss 'Ree!
