In 1968, Aretha Franklin toured Europe for the first time and also gave an exclusive concert at WDR Studio L. The WDR recording of the "Queen of Soul" concert comes from the "Swing In" series, which was moderated by Siegfried Schmidt-Joos. He also interviews Aretha Franklin here.
---
In her indelible late-1960s hits, Ms Franklin brought the righteous fervor of gospel music to secular songs that were about much more than romance. Hits like “Do Right Woman - Do Right Man,” “Think,” “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” and “Chain of Fools” defined a modern female archetype: sensual and strong, long-suffering but ultimately indomitable, loving but not to be taken for granted.
When Ms Franklin sang “Respect,” the Otis Redding song that became her signature, it was never just about how a woman wanted to be greeted by a spouse coming home from work. It was a demand for equality and freedom and a harbinger of feminism, carried by a voice that would accept nothing less.
(Jon Pareles, nytimes.com).

This woman can never be duplicated. Voice, attitude, charisma and enough soul to feed the entire world. Rest in peace and power, Queen. 😢

It just breaks my heart that we have footage of nearly every song but Ain’t No Way in her prime live.

It is very peculiar indeed. I wish someone could explain. The only footage is the actual rehearsal for the recording in an archival news profile.

Same here with You Are My Sunshine, completely destroyed by that German Arschloch. Anyway, she's tired here and it shows, different country every day, not an experience she cared to repeat.

Did she sing ain't no way live in the 60s?

@hinderless5811 Ай бұрын

@@user-qr9hr7qc7i I'm sure it would have featured in her live act on occasion, though strangely Aint no Way' was not released as a single if I remember right. God only knows why not. Her million selling hits were to me quite often not the highlights of her albums, I suppose they went for the catcheir sounding tracks to put out as singles rather than the slow ballads or gospel tinged tracks. Plus Aretha often had a strange selection of songs when performing, very often the label would get annoyed at her desire to want to experiment in her concerts with obscure material. The fact is there is simply so little of her and other artists at that time showing actual gigs. Most filmed Aretha live material from that period is from television performances rather than concert footage, like a television live 'Call me', 'You and Me,' 'Respect,' 'Do right Woman,' etc..
