............... Personally, and musically speaking, I was/am usually more a fan of her gospel singing, occasionally one or asnother piece masterfully sung by this amazing artist, but I must say that her voice was so powerful that no matter one's musical tastes are one can see that Music 'must' bow to the passing of such an incredible force of nature.. In her case the "house would rock" and the earth definitely shook when she sang.
To quote a friend's words, (from high school and today an excellente music teacher and head of his School) « and that, chillens, is how you sing live http://youtu.be/7hM_vSQLu_8 »
To quote another dear friend: «Yeah, I remember how we became fans when she supported Mandela contrary to Ronnie Regan and Mag Thatcher who supported Apartheid. Here's some words from her Aunt Re ♥ She was definitely very special, I agree. http://video.today.msnbc.msn.com/today /46426535#46426535 »
I'll leave another comment with links to some of the pieces I've always enjoyed
