Popular Post Nick1Ø66 4,710 Posted August 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2018 I never really listened to her much, but she had an amazing voice and I'll always associate her with The Blues Brothers...I had no idea who she was when I saw this movie as a kid but she rocked that scene, and it left a big impression on me.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I own three of her albums on vinyl. All three are classics. I also have a guilty soft spot for her cheesy but fun 80s comeback album Who's Zoomin' Who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher 350 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I think it was my mom who introduced me to her, and I became a fan instantly. Huge loss! She had such a great voice, even up until her death, and a huge back catalog of hits spawning decades. They didn't call her the queen of soul for nothing, after all.

Thor 7,490 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Speaking of Williams and Aretha, here's something you don't often see every day: John Williams and Aretha Franklin performing Alan Menken! (not Franklin's shining hour, perhaps, since it's a type of song that isn't really suited to her style, but it's not bad): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Soul was never really my thing but she was a giant of her art form and it's not really possible for me to say I didn't like a few of her recordings, even on a subliminal level.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Soul/funk of the 60s and 70s is one of my "home genres." Music that I got super into in my teens, that I feel a real connection to on a deep level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, my mom didn't play a lot of music growing up, but when she did it was always Motown. Much poppier than Aretha's more gospel/blues sound, but still in the same ballpark. I was predisposed to love her music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert but I've definitely heard some fantastic singles from that movement/style/whatever. "Tainted Love" most obviously. The original and the Soft Cell version. Doesn't get more classic than both of them! Here's Aretha in full on dirty blues mode and I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
