CRobi21 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 The spacing she gives between the opening couple of lines gives me goosebumps every time. Masterful. Link to post Share on other sites

Sticksboi05 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Very few artists could record songs 50 years ago that can still get the party going today. True measure of talent isn't how you're viewed in the now, it's how does your art hold up and Aretha's speaks for itself. Legend. Link to post Share on other sites

Forehead Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I was supposed to be a child of the 80's/90's but my father played 50's and 60's music non stop when I was a kid, so I knew far more about those decades than my own for the longest time. As much as I enjoyed a lot of what Motown had to offer, Aretha Franklin never grew on me, not for awhile. I appreciated her more as time went by. Because of all this exposure to older music, my favorite female artist has always been Carole King. I flat out loved her music and songs. And while I had grown to appreciate Aretha Franklin by this point, the Kennedy Center honoring of Carole King, when Aretha knocked Natural Woman out of the park, reminded me that I was very, very wrong about her initially.

CRobi21 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Just your run of the mill, on the spot duet by two legends. Ain't it easy when you know how. Link to post Share on other sites

Caught this show in NYC a couple years back and it was fantastic. You should check it out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beautiful:_The_Carole_King_Musical Link to post Share on other sites

Forehead Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I saw some complaining online that Ariana Grande did Natural Woman instead of Carole King, who wrote the song. Was Grande's version at least good? Link to post Share on other sites
Jumbo Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 i only saw 30-40 seconds of grande and thought it was a miss lots of others were great---not pop/hip hop but gospel, regional/personal, etc Link to post Share on other sites
