I can do an old school Motown quiz. Good suggestion. Since you mentioned Aretha, here's a question for you: Which monster Aretha hit was actually a cover and who did it first?
I do not know, lets say her 9th album Soul Sister for it reminds me of 2009 and Hey Soul Sister by Train.

Seriously though Mookie
You are giving me trivia that the only way for me to discover the answer is prior research or present research. That is because I was born in '86 and lets say my musical knowledge experience is established from 1991 to 2006 (ages 5 to 20). How am I supposed to know the answer to this, for this is not a pattern recognition exercise, but is instead an exercise in life experience aka you live those years and you in your mental time lime remember 60, 62, 64, and so on.
(Matt) goes to wikipedia and count....Seriously Mookie I was born in 86 so Aretha released her 36th album at the time I was 5. And after 1991 she has only released 5 more albulms for a total of 41.
So my point Mookie is I may know lots of her songs but I never learned the history and such of their albums for I learned her music as individual songs.
And lets be honest I am not super familiar with all her music, and I was not trying to say I have a fetish for Aretha but I am saying there was also other good music from the 60s and 70s that you were missing and thus I was hoping you do some soul, some jazz, some funk and lots of rhythm and blues.

So since I am now teasing you lets bring some Aretha into this. Lets Think (but I am not talking about Man and Woman I am talking about Old Man and You Man and how we cause each other to be eternally young.)

Think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free
Let's go back, let's go back, let's go way on back when
I didn't even know you, you couldn't too much more than ten
I ain't no psychiatrist, I ain't no doctor with degrees
It don't take too much high IQ's to see what you're doing to me
You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think) let your mind go, let yourself be free
Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom
Freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, ooh freedom
Think about it, think about it
There ain't nothing you could ask I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
I was gonna change, but I'm not, to keep doing things I don't
You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free
People walking around everyday, playing games taking score
Trying to make other people lose their minds, ah, be careful you don't lose yours
You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free
You need me (need me) and I need you (don't you know)
Without each other there ain't nothing people can do
Think about it baby
And why do the old and the young need each other, for if we work together we are eternally young and puer

For spiritual rebirth occurs when you mix the old and new and you see life from new perspectives. Even though I did not sensory live through the 60s, 70s, and 80s, I can listen to your old stories and create artificial memories like it was me being there except it was not me but my stand in in my mind's eye.
The young need the old and the old need the young and when we converse we learn the old is not something about the body but instead the spirit and mind, and you are only truly old if you want to think of yourself as truly old and thus you close your mind and thrown stones at me and say get off my lawn
