the take away for me is she is till traumatized [[PTSD) from her years with Ike. And the fact that interviewers still wanted to know about Ike, 16 years later. So I agree with Carlo, she had many great albums as a solo artist that weren't mentioned, but she was able to shape the narrative and I appreciate that.
In a similar vein, I'm enjoying Genius, Aretha, because there is more being shared about her life than has previously been shared. In this instance someone else needed to tell the story.
