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.) ...

#AfricanAmerican #BellHooks #Love #Respect  #WhereWeStand  #ClassMatters  "Love is a combination of six ingredients: care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect and trust". Bell Hooks A writer, teacher and cultural critic, bell hooks is best known for her work examining systems of domination, especially racism and patriarchy, and how they may be overcome. She has published more than twenty books, including  Talking Back: Thinking Feminist, Thinking Black; Killing Rage: Ending Racism , and  Where We Stand: Class Matters . hooks says that uncovering and naming the forms of oppression in our society is an extension of her lifelong curiosity about love and her desire to see love manifested. “Perhaps the most common false assumption about love is that it means we will not be challenged or changed,” she once wrote in the Buddhist magazine   Shambhala Sun . “When I write provocative social and cultural criticism that causes readers to stretch t...

#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...

Photo by: WireImage Madonna opened her heart and expressed herself about Aretha Franklin at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards on Monday night — but was promptly slammed for what turned into an egocentric tribute. The Material Girl, clad in flowing black with flourishes of African jewelry and spiky headgear, gave the send-off to the late Queen of Soul before presenting the video of the year award to Camila Cabello. She rambled on about how Franklin, who died Thursday of pancreatic cancer at age 76, helped her launch her own career, according to People. “Aretha Louise Franklin changed the course of my life. I left Detroit when I was 18, $35 in my pocket. My dream was to make it as a professional dancer. After years of struggling and being broke, I decided to go to auditions for musical theater,” Madge said. The 60-year-old continued discussing her early years as a struggling artist. “I had no training or dreams of ever becoming a singer but I went for it. I got cut and rejected f...
