Great thread!
On Aretha's gospel album (the one after she was famous), the first song or two are by a very good choir. Before Aretha comes out. They sound good. Then Aretha comes out, and just blows me away with her range and power. I cried the first time I heard it.
I've also cried at really sad songs (like Eric Clapton's song about the loss of *his* son), but this was different in that it's not a sad song, just the power of the music itself, that made me cry.
