On this week's Roundtable, a rare chance to meet the legendary lady of soul Aretha Franklin, who began her career as a young gospel singer, and became a soul success story in the 60s with perhaps her best-known hits 'Respect' and 'I say a little prayer'. In a career that has spanned two decades, Aretha has won more than ten Grammy Awards, and is currently to be seen in the film The Blues Brothers, singing one of her soul classics 'Think'.
Also on the programme is Rowan Atkinson, star of Not the Nine O'Clock News, and guest DJ and Newsbeat reporter Richard Skinner. Together they join host Adrian Love to review the week's new releases.
