Title: PR-fluff being passed off as autobigraphy
Review: Don't waste your time. I've loved Aretha since I was a child, but boy, it's getting harder and harder to justify the acclaim. I see why people are dissing her everywhere. Overrated, overinflated ego, coasting on a reputation. She may have been the Queen of Soul in the '60s -- whatever the heck that means -- but there are so many other fine vocalists who can out-sing her any day of the week -- Patti Labelle, Jennifer Holliday, Chaka Khan, just to name a few -- and this autobiography will do nothing to regain her crown. She comes off as a pompous, unlikable b-word. A very unhappy woman. And a very out-of-touch woman. Like someone said, the Norma Desmond of popular music.Don't waste your time with this tripe.
