Aretha Frnklin. Amazing career



I'll always remember her Grammy performance of Nessun Dorma.

Many voices and groups have come out of Detroit, but none like the Queen of Soul.

Detroit, and the world, mourns her passing.


Lost both the King and Queen on the same date (8/16) *

Man or woman. We lost one of the greatest today, no doubt.

"Don't you "Don't get riled, sugar" me! You ain't goin' back on the road no more, and you ain't playin' them ol' two-bit sleazy dives. You're livin' with me now, and you not gonna go slidin' around witcho ol' white hoodlum friends."

"Don't you blaspheme in here! Don't you blaspheme in here! This is my man, this is my restaurant, and you two are just gonna walk right out that door without your dry white toast, without your four fried chickens, and without Matt 'Guitar' Murphy!"


RIP (Here is the video clip. Different from what I remember)

*I don't recall Blue Lou jumping in the car or the guys from John Lee Hooker's band fighting towards the end of this clip.



One of my favorite things about that scene

is how natural Aretha's acting is. As an actor, Matt Murphy is a hell of a blues guitarist, and the producers just made Lou Marini's character a mute. But if you didn't know better, you'd assume Aretha was an actor who could sing.

We lost Matt this past June. God bless him and Aretha.


This.
