ARETHA FRANKLIN LIVE AT CONCERTGEBOUW

This DVD shows very rare and unique footage of Aretha in a very productive and creative part of her career. Like Ray Charles, Aretha is a true original with the deepness, power and soul that trancends the decades. Every vocalist in soul music owes something to Aretha Franklin. In the land of Soul she reigns supreme. The Amsterdam concert kicks off with an energetic version of the Mick Jagger/Keith Richards hit Satisfaction. For the next tune the tempo comes down for Dont Let Me Lose This Dream, written by Aretha and her husband cum manager Ted White. Next on the programme is Willie Mitchells 1968 hit Soul Serenade. Originally written as an instrumental, lyrics were later supplied by producer/writer Luther Dixon. The trumpets miss just about everything but its Arethas powerful delivery that keeps the thing together. After a short version of The Young Rascals Groovin, its time for Natural Woman, written by songwriter couple Carole King and Gerry Goffin. This is followed by Ray Charles Come Back Baby
