To keep that much power and control late into her career is not normal. my favorite moment of hers might be filling in for Pavarotti on 2 hours notice and nailing Nessun Dorma at the Grammy's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Aretha Franklin: A Legacy in Music Smokey Robinson, her friend and neighbor in Detroit, once said, “Aretha came out of this world, but she also came out of another, far-off magical world none of us really understood. . . . She came from a distant musical planet where children are born with their gifts fully formed.” Etta James once recalled listening to Franklin’s version of Johnny Mercer and Hoagy Carmichael’s standard “Skylark.” In the second verse, Franklin jumps an octave. “I had to scratch my head and ask myself, How the **** did that **** do that? I remember running into Sarah Vaughan, who always intimidated me. Sarah said, ‘Have you heard of this Aretha Franklin girl?’ I said, ‘You heard her do ‘Skylark,’ didn’t you?’ Sarah said, ‘Yes, I did, and I’m never singing that song again.’ ” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
