I would name the other really super great African-American singers besides Areatha to be:

- Whitney Houston

- James Brown

- Barry White.

In fact you could put these 4 at the top of the list of the very best singers in human history.

They're all singing in Heaven for God and his Angels now.

Great list. I would also add:

Ella Fitzgerald

Sam Cooke

Dinah Washington

Nat King Cole

Imagine a show with all of them.

I do like Ella:

Ultimately it would also be necessary to add Marvin Gaye as well:

"Since we've been apart baby,
Love has healed my heart,
And darlin' your love
Is just like music … ."

Wow ... just read at WIKI :

Franklin was the mother of four sons. She first became pregnant at the age of 12 and gave birth to her first child, named Clarence after her father,[73] on January 28, 1955. According to the news site Inquisitr, "The father of the child was Donald Burk, a boy she knew from school."[74] On January 22, 1957, then aged 14, Franklin had a second child, named Edward after his father Edward Jordan.[21] Franklin did not like to discuss her early pregnancies with interviewers.[75]

Unfortunately that is a common experience in the Black American community -- pregnant in the early teens or preteens.
