Who needs a crown when you have a hat?

Long Live the Queen of Soul!
That voice! It says everything there is to be said about the African American - hell, the human - experience. And the hat is a masterpiece.
I thought the hat was magnificent!
The hat is beautifully coordinated with the pearl earrings. But Aretha can really wear anything she likes, because she always will look spectacular.
Beyonce who?
I LOVED her hat! It's extravagant but really not too flashy by some weird miracle of fashion. Maybe it was the gray + sparkles combo?
Thanks Linda for getting the hat details - you're a star. And when I have an occasion for such a hat I intent to go straight to Detroit. Indeed, it's SUCH a hat I think I ought to invent an occasion for it.
She did look stupendous!
LOVED it!
Fabulous hat; but it should have been Jennifer Hudson up there. love & respect to them both
Yes, she is the Queen of Soul
The tune she sang is, of course, identical to England's national anthem, so I'm wondering if a similarly soulful, gospel-driven version of "God Save the Queen" has been ever been recorded? Anyone know?
None of the (straight) men I've spoken to liked it, but I thought it was great.
I was surprised when I realised it was the tune of the National Anthem. I haven't heard anything similar to that but I have heard an eighteenth century version on one of those turn the handle music boxes which was at twice the speed we sing it now and embellished with all sorts of twiddly bits.
