Regarding Aretha's son, couldn't you just casually remark something like, "Your mom sure recorded some fantastic albums for Atlantic. Do you think there's any chance we'll ever see a CD release of the last few? You wouldn't be pushy, nor would you be demanding [[which would understandably annoy him). You would just be a friend who is merely expressing a sincere interest in his mom's music. That's totally up to you, of course. You're familiar with her son's personality, whereas I'm not.
Hey, if you ever get the chance, I would love to know if Aretha enjoyed working with Van McCoy on her "La Diva" album. Is that something you could comfortably ask him?
