After listening to the album for years (I think it’s the best selling gospel album of all time) I felt as if I was watching a film of a book I had read many times. It was hard not to focus on the differences, the omissions and the visuals - so I had to give this a couple of attempts. This really needs to be compared with the film Respect featuring Jennifer Hudson as Arethra - for me that brought all three performances together and let me appreciate them all in different ways.
