Aretha Franklin, Novembre 1968

Aretha Franklin ("I Say A Little Prayer", "Come Back Baby" and medley with Sammy Davis Jr., "What Is Soul?", "Think", "Respect" and "What'd I Say?") at Hollywood Palace, Nov 2, 1968

[@romet0211]

My girlfriend, now my wife of 51 years, saw Aretha in Fort Worth, TX in 1968. We grew up with Aretha!

[@AC-kl8gi]

When this program was originally broadcast, it was a big deal to hear a black woman sing with such emotional fervency. Aretha was a phenomenon. RIP Aretha. I love you!

[@rango102]

You can see why Ms. Franklin is called ls "The Queen of Soul". that performance was effortless, awesome and downright amazing. You are sorely missed, Aretha. ( forever heartbroken over the loss of you "Queen".)

[@malcumx5933]

Ro Flo you’ve got that right

[@helengrigsby4838]

Tommy Davidson is the perfect actor that will play Mr. Davis to a key.

[@calvinhill9581]

SHE JUST HAD IT

[@MrSpain29]

She is one of few people, that can sing, and you don't see one vein in her neck. Perfect technique.

[@HAYTOZED]

Here you are with that, while people are trying to fake those veins cause they think they're cool for singers.

I mean, you can not be too pretty when you are singing....face snd all.

[@HAYTOZED]

...also, it can not be a technique why it does not happen even once.

Aretha simply has no rivals, like Callas, Aretha was rival-less. Her sound was divine, her belts were celestial and desolate at the same time, she sang from the soul of humanity itself.

[@sparkle1022]

you dont deserve to praise aretha when all you do is shut down every other singer. i see you everywhere, dont think you're sly.

[@sparkle1022]

and dont bother responding, because i dont care. just had to say that.

[@markdrinkwater1508]

@@sparkle1022 I don't shut down other singers, other singers are free to do as they please and sing how they please. I shut down idiots who make ridiculous comparisons on KZbin and they are deserving of being shut down. Get it right.., and don't tell me when to reply or when not to reply.

I'd heard Lulu's "Oh, Me Oh, My (I'm a Fool For You" & then this came up next. While Sammy & Aretha get props, the backup singers are ignored. If there weren't any, the piece wouldn't be as full & rich. I'm a lead vocalist, soloist & envious of those who have such tight harmony that goosebumps hit from head to toe, deserving massive accolades. In various rehearsals, I think I finally am there when I am told I am doing 2nd alto *with* the other 2nd alto. When in choir practices, the music is in hand as my eyes see the notes making harmony. No problems. It may be an odd analogy but it reminds me of football in junior/senior high school, especially home games.

The date is correct, 1968. She wasn't pregnant, she was just gaining weight. By the time of her last son's birth in 1970, she had moved on to the afro.

You should see the Tom Jones special she did in 69. That's when she was pregnant!

Just amazing. If you ever wondered about what the song means, the great Bacharach and David wrote Say A Little Prayer from the perspective of the wife of the American soldier deployed in Vietnam. Now listen again, then the lyrics will all make more sense and have a more profound meaning all of a sudden.
