You Better Think

Who wants to hear the boring, trivial old Inauguration when you can listen to BBC employees like Huw Edwards and Matt Frei? At one point, Frei felt it necessary to point out that Aretha Franklin was black, just in case that had hitherto escaped us simple, non-BBC persons watching at home.

Franklin was a predictably safe choice of black singer. But what of her song? Could it not have been one of her own? Which one, and why?
