Angie Greaves recently spoke to David about the box set, and how he chose where to start and where to end is a mystery to me but knowing Aretha the way he did, he would have made sure she was happy and has definitely done her proud. David used to write for Blues and Soul magazine and also included Aretha in his book Soulful Divas.
