Members Faulkner Posted August 17, 2018 Author Members Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) This is beautifully written: Ariana Grande sang “Natural Woman” with the Roots in tribute to Aretha on tonight’s Fallon. She does a pretty good job, although I’ve long been sick of renditions of that particular song: Please register in order to view this content It certainly beats this: Edited August 17, 2018 by Faulkner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted August 17, 2018 Members Share Posted August 17, 2018 Her discography is well stocked so hopefully people doing tributes will select some songs that are not commonly heard. The albums that Luther Vandross produced for her have a some nice album tracks like "Pretender", "Love Me Right" and "I Wanna Make It Up To You" which is a duet with Levi Stubbs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted August 17, 2018 Author Members Share Posted August 17, 2018 This piece about Aretha from Craig Jenkins is superb and one of the reasons I can’t completely hate the Vulture website in spite of the weak, pandering day-to-day news coverage. They have a roster of very fine writers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 17, 2018 Members Share Posted August 17, 2018 People have been mentioning Aretha's sister Carolyn. This clip gives a pretty good summary of how important that relationship was to both women. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
