Pop, soul, who cares, as long as the song goes straight to the heart. Ross can do that, Mary Wilson can do that, Aretha can do that, and as I experienced live two week ago, Gladys Knight can do that. Rather than pitting those great ladies against each other, let's cherish the fact that we can still see and hear them perform live and listen to a great collection of recorded songs.
