Entre_Perpetuo Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Dang, I think she was always Freddie's favorite singer. Iirc he wrote Somebody To Love as a tribute to her, hoped she might sing it someday. Did she ever? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driventotheedge Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 The greatest voice of our time imo. RIP Aretha. She and Jimi are the 2 artists I most regret never having been fortunate enough to see live. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vet6AHmq3_s The story goes that she had a really hard time lip synching for this scene. A professional like her would never need to lip synch anyway . . . Edited August 17, 2018 by toymaker 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushFanForever Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) Aretha Franklin featuring Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, and Whoopi Goldberg - Jumpin' Jack Flash http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQkrLpwj1vk “It took me ages to persuade her to play piano on ‘Jumpin’ Jack Flash,’ Rolling Stones songwriter and guitarist Keith Richards told me (interviewer Randy Lewis) in 2015, referring to her version of the song she recorded for the 1986 Whoopi Goldberg film of the same title. “The deal was,” Richards recalled, “that if we came to Detroit, she’d do it, because she hates traveling. I said, ‘I’ll make a deal with you: We’ll come to Detroit, but you’ve got to play piano.’ It’s automatic with her: She starts playing those beautiful gospel chords. She doesn’t think of herself as much of a piano player, but when [she’s] singing with it, it’s a different thing.” The above comment is from the LA Times posted below. The voice was incredible, but Aretha Franklin at the piano was also pure magic Edited August 17, 2018 by RushFanForever 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
