Aretha Franklin Canadian Interview

[@wr513]

Aretha was getting her together!

[@antd8259]

Great interview. Aretha Franklin was a "to the point", no non sense, woman.

[@emill2673]

that's exactly what I thought...what an amazing human being!!!

[@newgmodo5609]

I put your characterization of Aretha to her song “Do-Right Woman/Do-Right Man!” 😅

[@peterdavino4408]

Exactly right! No nonsense and an abundance of common sense which, in actuality, is highly uncommon. What a lovely human being.

[@anjelheaven]

OmG! "What does church smell like?" "What church do you go to?" "My church doesn't smell like that!" Kmsl She was HILARIOUS!

[@mr_jayling]

anjelheaven I was dying myself 😂😂😂. My church smells like Fried Chicken 😂😂😂

[@HYJONES83]

[@charlottte1122]

@@mr_jayling That's because they have food at her church. So they can fellowship with each after church.

[@rosebuddraper2666]

Yooooooooo I was hollerin 😂😂🤣😂🤣😂. My church smells like alot of gooooood fried chicken, homemade rolls and fried corn. I felt that because everytime I went in my Gramma church I smelled all that and cake too, 😂🤣😂🤣. Aretha Franklin was really really funnnnnnnnny, for real, liiiiiiiike no bulllllllllshit.

That takes me OUTTTA HERE..EVERYTIME I WATCH THIS🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@farim8062]

I enjoyed this interview. I loved hearing about how her father helped her to become grounded. She remained so to the end. Also loved how she defined the difference between men and males. 👌🏾. Rest in eternal peace Ree Ree!

[@Lederius18]

This was such a fantastic interview! I always got the impression that Aretha wanted to be asked questions that hadn’t been asked already. She really lit up talking about her dad and also about her garden.

“Phenomenal Lady”! ATETHA! Queen of Soul!

"I will always go to church and I don't have to be in the building to go to church" - Aretha Franklin

[@gloriacollins6608]

It was the purple eyeshadow and the “I’m not in the mood today” hairstyle that just gives me soooo much LIFE😂😂😂😂

[@alexandergomes3317]

fantastic insight into the greatest greatest female vocalist ever by common consensus MS . Aretha Franklin.

[@champagnerenee9353]

I can watch this over and over! She's my idol forever and always! Extreme class

[@lindabrown2090]

She is really a “ Natural Woman” she’s very down to Earth, she a popular “ Domestic Goddess” , she said it right, She LOVE MEN. Listen to Aretha talking about Fried Chicken, Dinner Rolls and Fried Corn. That’s what her Church smells like. You just have to love her. She’s so Funny.👑🎤🎵🎼🎶🎹👠👠🙏🏾❤️

[@janicecollins934]

What a brilliant woman. She is the 👑 Queen!

[@tavii80sbaby82]

I love how she just professionally , calmly, directly, firmly and smoothly gets these interviewers together. Re didn’t have time to be playing with these folks asking the same ol’ questions and at times assuming crap😂 the older she got🌹❤️👑 I simply love and adore this woman.

[@Lawrence_619]

you aint even lied....she gave master classes on how to mop up an interviewers bullshit. She got 'em together, REAL QUICK.

[@calvinhill9363]

SHE DID KNOW HOW TO HANDLE HER SELF IN INTERVIEWS, WAS A VERY SMART, INTELLIGENT WOMAN, VERY DO WN TO EARTH, WILL MIS YOU ARETHA. R.I.P.

[@jesseknight1283]

[@brendadavis2499]

Love Aretha Franklin interviews ❤

[@yvonnetaylor7210]

Aretha was always a consummate professional in her performances, guest appearances and interviews. She know how to handle herself in every instance. She was nobody's fool, that's for sure!

[@TransformedSoul466]

Yvonne Taylor yes these "wanna be grown black women and some of the men" need to have a master class from Aretha

[@TransformedSoul466]

Yvonne Taylor Aretha learned over time how to be the mighty woman she is. In one interview, Aretha was 27 and she admitted she didn't know herself and was learning about life but look at her throughout the years how she commanded of her life and demanded of others. And please note she didn't demanded with crudeness but with kind and penetrating words.

[@colorpurple4623]

@@TransformedSoul466 i dont she was 27 more like 22, but any who, we are forever learning, like she said she need to find out who and what she is but never how to conduct herself in public or itherwise, which is what the topic made reference to.

[@TransformedSoul466]

Color Purple I am not sure that we are talking about the same interview. I am talking about the interview, "1968 Special Report: Aretha Franklin" One, she was about 26/27 at the time. Two, she clearly establishes within the first five minutes of the interview that she didn't know "who or what I am" This meant she was still developing this big persona that she would embody as the Queen of Soul. Lastly, you can tell from her presentation that she was quite reserved and calculated, somewhat shy. Unlike the interview of her latter years where she was bold, outspoken and very comfortable in her skin.

[@GiuseppePascuale928]

Love the “Who’s Zoomin’ Who” reference in your comment ☺️

[@walterkrueger9889]

Wonderful interview! 😊💙👍

[@manuelesparza1081]

Aretha and the Interviewer were both excellent.

[@Goeisand]

Love this woman!!💖💖

[@akuapiatas]

Interviewer: And once they get to you, you know they've separated the males from the men? Aretha: Hello?!

[@MrsMattMurphy]

lol lol lol She don't play with males! Only men! lol

[@adamribs6470]

Aretha U'r some kind of Woman, U spoke in another language & just raised the liking of U'r awesomeness! Truly astonished at the brilliant way U present ur'self to the World. I look forward to see U blossom in every area of U'r career. luv U ldy...

[@jamaalbeamon9670]

I just love her interviews.

THE QUEEN PULLED THE FRENCH LANGUAGE OUT ON HUH (her)!!!

[@SirenScorpio]

And the interviewer don't seem like she knew too much french herself 😏

[@marimuffin]

I love this interview! Aretha was laid back and chill. Seemed like she was in great spirits

[@debhayes2822]

What a great person she was. Just lovely.

[@christhomas5761]

8:08 When Aretha told the interviewer " That`s a ridiculous statement " I bet that interviewer wanted to go hide under a rock, lol.

[@MrsMattMurphy]

Love her interviews she is so straight up doesn't mess around with interviewers does she haha thanks for the comment :)

[@MrsMattMurphy]

I upload a lot of Aretha interviews cause I just love hearing her deal with moronic interviewers plus the insight it gives to the queen of soul miss her so much

[@Lawrence_619]

she was just like any other sista' out here in the World, away from the lights and cameras...but when she opened that mouth to sing, Aretha Franklin was on a whole different planet. I will miss her...her sense of humor...her unapologetic nature, where her being BLACK and supportive of black people, are concerned. And I will miss her stage presence....like what she showed when she performed at Clinton's inaugural gala. I thought I was watching royalty on stage, when she unwrapped that mink/silk cloak and curtsied before the audience.

[@taddyd1]

She seemed very relaxed.

[@getyourkicks]

You dont mess with Ree .. she would read you lol

[@anjelheaven]

Yes, indeed! From cover to cover!

[@danielrobinson9270]

Men rise to the occasion with no sweat. Aretha was too much.

[@TombCat]

Aretha was such an intelligent woman, with a beautiful speaking voice. A musical genius, truly. As a musician and singer. She knew what was great. There aren't many. She knew that she was great. Men rise to the occasion with No Sweat!! She didn't like interviews - unless it was a good looking man complimenting her. But she's relaxed and having a good time here. Canadian interviewers are much more low key and better researched. Even Whitney warmed up a bit with the press in Canada. I love that Ed Sullivan question! So random. Aretha did a gorgeous guest spot on Tom Jones. The Party's Over.

[@danielrobinson9270]

I don't want to run but...I really have to go. Aretha was too much.

Love the men vs males distinction. I’ve often objected to the misconception that women like bad boys. No, girls like bad boys. Women prefer good men.

What year is this?

[@Dion_Mustard]

Aretha says her father made her grounded and not act like a star but there is no denying Aretha acted like a Diva on many occasions! How many times would she have entered a building and expected the top treatment and the best people..most likely every time she was due to appear on TV or stage..so she basically lied about that during the interview.

[@piustwelfth]

Wow, I'm shocked she let herself be filmed without make-up. Never seen her au naturel.

[@watergreg5836]

she looked so tired and fierce with her makeup or no makeup...

[@ElijahLukeMusic]

What year was this?

[@MrsMattMurphy]

1998 :)
