Although already uploaded on my channel, here is a whole memorial upload of an episode of The Hollywood Squares that includes The Queen of Soul.
She asked for a little respect, knew about a chain of fools, told about a rose is still a rose in Spanish Harlem, told us to rock steady; that's what it is, and wanted us to think about what we're doing to her.
We made her feel like a natural woman. She now has rode up the Freeway to Heaven in her pink Cadillac.

I do not know the year of this episode. My guess is somewhere between 1972 and 1975.

@@chamillarobbins2275 this is during that brief period in the mid 1970s when she lost 40+ pounds and managed to keep it off for about 18 months. She was never this absolutely beautiful again, unfortunately. But she was naturally very pretty underneath all the extra weight. I agree though, I don't care that she was extremely overweight, but the way she dressed to almost emphasize her enormous size was a very big turnoff. She looked a hot mess. Especially with the cleavage. Ugh. Plus her voice was really shot by the late 80s. Not a good combo, even though I loved her!

This must be 1974, during that brief period when Aretha lost 40+ lbs and was at her absolute THINNEST and most glamorous post late-1960s. Except for at her death, she was never THIS slim in her youth again. Only in 1974. She started regaining the weight in late 1975 and would yo-yo up and down thereafter, largely just gaining. She was just heartbreakingly beautiful here. I wish she could have stayed this way. I wonder if the extreme weight gain is what lead to her death? I also wish she'd have given up those goddamn Kools 20 years earlier! I don't understand these singers like Aretha and Whitney who deliberately killed their angel-like voices with those menthol cancer sticks. SMH. Why ruin perfection? But nobody's perfect and everyone has their vices. In any case, I've never seen this before. Thank you so much for uploading! 🙏 RIP Queen Aretha, forever and always the Queen of Soul♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏

I hate to say it, but Aretha was wrong. If this show is from the mid-1970s, she had won ten Grammy Awards by then (between 1967 - 1974). Her next Grammy after that was in a recording made in 1981. Here is the information from the Grammy site: www.grammy.com/grammys/artists/aretha-franklin/11503

@chamillarobbins2275 5 жыл бұрын

Yesss, thats what i said, aretha was very attractive at some point but it wasnt constant, she didnt maintain her weight, in order to be star quality you have to not only watch weight but the wadrobe as well. Because she was most of her career larger, she wasnt a beauty icon or style trender! Aretha must have really been feelin herself and had a big ego to want halle to play her, im sorry, she looked nothin close to halle. Not sayin halle is the only beautiful black woman!Halle really wouldnt even fit a image of a queen soul singer!

@colorpurple4623 5 жыл бұрын

Chamilla Robins, you are a complete fool, Aretha is and always will be star quality big or small. That's just lime saying a black person can't be star quality because they're black. Its not what's on the outside that makes you valuable but what's on the inside. Out of all the people that you and others have mention not one of them out rank Areatha, not one of them is more love and respected around the world as "The Queen of Soul" Aretha did it all and she did it her way.
