If you missed my special tribute (Saturday, August 18) to Aretha Franklin on my Soul Power show, featuring only LP cuts from her mid 70s-mid 80s albums, please enjoy at the following link, courtesy of WWOZ's Two Week Archive: wwoz.org/listen/archive/show.php?date=2018-08-18&time=8PM
The response to the show, by people who wanted to dig deeper into Ms. Franklin's vast and treasure-filled catalog and ignore all the critics and pundits over the years who have dismissed her mid-70s through mid-80s recordings, has been overwhelming and so beautiful. Keep digging and keep listening. Though most of the songs I featured remain out-of-print (unless you seek out original LPs like I have), I’d like to think Aretha wanted someone to hear and enjoy them. The show will be available at wwoz.org until September 1. Enjoy, and long live and love the Queen!
