From singing “Eleanor Rigby” in the first person to why “The Long and Winding Road” is the best Beatles cover of all time #ArethaFranklin #QueenofSoul #Respect #Beatles #RnB Aretha Franklin ’s genius took so many forms — as a singer, a songwriter, an album-crafter, a live performer. But the Queen was also one of history’s most audacious Beatle fans. Nobody ever sang  the Beatles  like Aretha. Since she was one of the few Sixties musicians as famous and revered as they were, she felt free to take any approach she pleased to a Fabs song — sometimes radically reworking it, as when she sang “Eleanor Rigby” in the first person. When Aretha sang any song, even a Beatle song, she claimed it as her own — and the Beatles knew it. Nothing could make them prouder than getting one of their songs stolen by the Queen. When Paul McCartney wrote “Let It Be,” he sent an acetate demo to Aretha in hopes she’d record it, knowing full well she’d outsing him on it. (Needless to say, she did.) ...

Amazing Grace—a documentary film about #ArethaFranklin  two-night performance January 1972, which turned into one of the best-selling gospel albums of all time—makes its long-awaited debut with screenings at the DOC NYC festival. Although the 46-year delay was due in part to negotiation issues with Franklin herself, there was another reason entirely that a documentary shot by legendary director #SydneyPollack took so long to appear: The audio wasn’t synced correctly. Which, in 1972, was a catastrophic problem. “In 1972, even with the most compact 16mm film, you’re dealing with a big reel that goes through a camera slot,” explains Amazing Grace producer Alan Elliott. Back then, film crews used a clapperboard in order to be able to line up video footage with the audio. “You would put a 10-minute film canister on the mag, roll it up, and then clap it at the top, and record all the way for 10 minutes.” Clapping would presumably have been complicated during a live performance,...

#Amazinggrace #GospelMusic #ArethaFranklin #QueenofSoul #Respect #RIP #RnB #Soul  It begins with a sonic relay, the buzz of conversation interwoven with the hum of a Hammond organ. Like the first seconds of Marvin Gaye's " Got to Give It Up ," the sound of the voices chatting and the organ playing announces life in a lower frequency and register. In those initial moments, one cannot know which came first, the talking or the playing, because they are deeply entangled. This entanglement sets the stage for anticipation, the desire for Spirit to happen and flow and release. The refusal of a border — between the noise of the flesh and the noise of the electrical, mechanical object — might tell us something about how  Aretha Franklin  thought about black creativity. The recording that includes this entanglement of flesh and machine was made available on  Amazing Grace: The Complete Recordings  (1999), an extension of the original 1972 hit album. But this extend...
