Okay, this might be a partial dig...I think this is proof of how Stevie's solo career has perhaps (dare I say!!) been over inflated in the past 10-15 years or so. The inflated cult status got her into the HOF before Tina. The prolific songwriter that has been dormant (of writing new material) since 1999....
it was not the inflated cult status, it was behind the scenes work of IA and co.

it's amazing how humble Tina was in her acceptance speech too. the woman with solo carrier that had number one hits in every decade and who completely reinvented herself and created a huge new solo carrier after Ike and Tina.
