I saw patti live in the 60s she had some pipes on her then,her voice wasnt as in controll as it is today but she could sing wow she could hit some notes for being around 20,dont play her cheap Aretha had a little bit on her at that time! Aretha had alot raspyness in her voice from smoking and being fat too!!!! and we all know that aretha does what she wants always has since atlantic days I think the only time she played by the rules was at columbia.
You said you saw Patti around the time you saw Aretha and she wasn't good at all. Aretha was alway better than Patti and at that time she was both vocally and musical better. Aretha wasn't fat she was plus sized and that didn't happen until 1966 and Aretha. Patti sounds nasally. Even when Aretha was at Columbia she had creative power not at the level of Arista and Atlantic but still she had some say over her arrangements.
let me correct my self she is raspy today she was clear as a bell then.Aretha was always a little chunky I would see aretha all the time in the 60s and 70s It was nothing for me to catch a show for about 3.50 in those days.she would be thin some time some time she would be a little thicker but not a fat pig like she is today i dont know what happend that is horrible!!
Aretha has alwayed had a clear and raspy tone of voice, it was one of the things that made her special. Aretha is not a fat pig, she has lost alot of weight. Have you seen her lately. She has lost a noticable amount of weight.
I remember this to, It was a long time before Patti became a super star I think it was the 80s when she reached those stats.but she was always fab, the reason she left columbia is because she was limited to what she could do ,she wasnt getting far she had like 1 semi hit ,many many records but really no hits,columbia was wrong for her!!!
Patti was never fab, she dressed herself in tacky and outlandish outfits. The reason she left Columbia was due to the fact that Atlantic Record gave her freedom to be herself.
okay you know that I know the deal,but when I seen Aretha, I see a lady who once was,she hasnt changed.She isnt 2010 when I see patti yeah I remember that I saw her 45 years ago, but she is fresh and she fits in with todays artist thats why you will see her in alot of new artist videos. I cant say that about RE RE.Patti dosent say old Aretha says old.
Aretha is not a lady that is once was, she is a woman who still is and will always be. Aretha impact on music surpassed Patti 10 fold. Aretha is the most respected woman in music, she is still being honored, still winning awards and she still has a heavy influence on the artist of today. Aretha is every bit of the word LEGENDARY. Also when has Patti been in other artist videos, Patti would do anything and what in the hell does that even mean? "Patti dosent say old Aretha says old."
Not true. Patti's gospel lp was a BORE and she hasn't had a hit for decades. Aretha's a "Rose is a Rose" was a landmark hip hop recording from the first decade. Aretha is ALWAYS A-List+: Re's been @White House so many time Howard Stern said she was effing Bill Clinton, inauration for the PREZ etc, Grammy Hall of Fame, Kennedy Center and so many classic hits. Patti has about 2 big hits (including her group work) and one Grammy.
Aretha is not opening for Fankie Beverly and Maze.
another thing Aretha should not have said that stupid stuff about Tina,She has known tina for over 45 years they came out abou the same time,Tina is a queen and Aretha knows that ,they rubbed shoulders together back in the early days,she should respect her like family.Grow up Aretha you dont own the word Queen!!!!!
What the hell are you even talking about? How did you get into dissing Aretha about her weight, then bring Patti into this and then bring up old shit that happened 2 YEARS AGO. Aretha had every right to say what she said. Lets get one thing straight Aretha has been in the industry for over 50 years, Tina and Aretha has never really formally met. Aretha started when she was 14 years old in gospel. Tina is no where near the queen of anything. Aretha is THE ONE AND ONLY QUEEN!
Lets get real now! When people think about the Queen in music people think of Aretha. Aretha impact on music is bigger than Tina's and Patti's combined. They could never in their lives compare to Aretha and what she has contributed to music. The only thing Aretha knows is that SHE IS THE QUEEN. There is something very wrong with you. You hate a woman you don't even know. If anyone has some growing up to do it is you. You are pathetic and it makes my sick watching you make a fool of yourself.
oh my the man said Aretha Franklin drinks coke after coke ,and I bet she do she sure looks like it, she hasnt stopped in over 50 years, she still drinkin as we speak!
Will you shut the hell up, Aretha has stopped drinking sodas and she is losing weight. She isn't as big ass she was, all Aretha wants to do is be healthy, she isn't trying to look like she did when she was younger.
trust me she couldnt if she tried,face it her look is shot and so is her voice,her day is over she still will sell concerts but I wont go see her, she aint what she used to be she sounds like a pig crying when she sings I dont know what happend I first saw her in 1964 she was amazing she song runnin out of fools! Damn she is sooo fat!!!!! she is bigger than my California KIng bed!!!!!
She is has LOST WEIGHT ALREADY, she is clear to me that she is not only trying but suceeding and Aretha looks great and the more weight she is losing the more better she look, and her voice is still uncomparable. Have you heard her performances at Radio City two years in a row she has been on fire. No one gives a fuck if you go or not, but like i said before Aretha still has an amazing voice and is able to express herself like no other.
You are right she isn't what she use to be but thats not really a bad thing. She is 67 years old and she her voice is now richer and regal, i have grown to love her falsetto and the more weight she loses the less falsetto she has. No matter what state of voice Aretha is in, she will alway be my favorite singer because no one can interpret a song the way that she does. I don't give a damn about range when this woman sings she makes you feel what she is singing and that feeling never left her.
I said what i said not to upset you ,but you must understand what I felt that night back in the 60s when I saw her in that small club singing live I had tears in my eyes and I know if you were ther you would have passed out ,this lady was bad as hell she had the voice of gold no body could touch her,she was amazing in all ways,some how she just has dropped the ball all the glitter and gold is gone!!! and im a little bit older than 50 Im almost 60 .
Aretha hasn't dropped a damn thing. Aretha is still amazing. You can still bring tears to your eyes. I don't care how old Aretha is, or what state her voice is in. She still has her interpretive skill that is the thing that sets her apart from everybody, and the main reason she makes you or anybodies else cry.
Like i said before she has lost a large amount of weight and has adopted a more healthy lifestyle. She is not losing weight to please yours ass, she is doing it so she can be on this earth longer. You are a 50 year old grow up, start acting like it. Know what you art talking about and stop talking so much shit.
She should be more LIke Patti she still has star power and her voice is still pretty good and she takes care of her self she looks so good,I think she looks better today than she did when she was young!!! thats what amazing is, Patti Labelle.
More like Patti! Patti sound horrible most of the time, due to years of overbelting and screaming. Why would Aretha want to be Patti, Aretha is the most respected woman in music. All Patti does is scream, she never had Aretha's interpretive phrasing or gift to put you under her spell with her voice. And have you seen Patti she is looking like a dried up mess. Aretha doesn't need to be more like anyone but Aretha. Patti! get real.
I can also remember seeing Aretha singing live in the 60s and she had Carolyn and Erma doing the back round those girls had harmony live, damn they sounded good.She was like magic that soul got deep down in your bones, gives me chills to think of what used to be !
But the thing is Aretha can still give you chills the only thing that has changed is time and Aretha voice but she still possesses the same passion and feeling she always had.
Im trying to tell you Aretha is not who she seems to be, she likes to wear bad clothes and cheep 20 dollar wigs she is a mess! she is a has been and she is lack luster ,shit im suprised that she can put food down long enough to sing a note,yeah the only time she ever looked good is when she did that fashion fair ad in the 70s and she lost weight.now that was hot !back in the day she could out sing patt but not anymore!
What does the clothes she wear have anything to do with her personally. That makes no sense. You don't know Aretha to even know who she is or seem to be. There is nothing lack luster about Aretha. Aretha is a great woman, like i told you she is losing weight. What is wrong with you? Aretha isn't the one with the problem, you have the problem with her. She is still an amazing singer. Aretha was always been a beautful woman, you said it yourself. Patti has never looked better than Aretha NEVER!
Ive seen them both this year patti looks 100 times better than aretha,aretha looks tired Patti looks like royality.Patti has a fresh look to her she looks happy and she knows where she is headed to!If you asked 100 men who they would like to sleep with I would bet you that most of them would say patti because she is very sexy!!!!
Patti looks like a dried up mummy. When Aretha is dressed up head to toe she looks far better than Patti. Patti looks bad Aretha is Royality. There is nothing fresh looking about Patti now a day. She looks like she has been nip tucked too many times. Not say that she has but thats what she looks like. Aretha is happy and is at peace at herself. LOL Did you just say 100 man would want to sleep with Patti! Laugh Out LOUD! Patti is not sexy she is now looking a hot mess.
And Aretha has alway been a far better singer than Patti. You aren't even making sense. Bottomline Aretha is still one of gods greatest gifts to music, no matter how big she is, no matter what you or anybody think of her or the clothes she wears, she is still the one of the of the best. No one can compare to her back then or now.
another thing Patti was at atlantic before aretha.Aretha brings her Fat ass in and then Jerry wexler stops working with Patti and then give all the attention to Aretha,if jerry had of worked with patti like he worked with aretha she would of been a bigger star!aretha wouldnt even show up alot of the time for sessions.Patti showed up.Patti can out sing Aretha today for sure,no doubt..
Bitch what the fuck are you talking about Patti was never as talent as Aretha as Aretha. Aretha alway possessed so much promise and potential to be a superstar, Jerry Wexler saw that in her and gave Aretha the freedom to bring her talent to the masses. Don't blame Aretha for be better than Patti in every musical and vocal way. Aretha is a musical genuis in her own right, she didn't need Jerry as much as Patti needed him. Aretha basically produced herself.
Jerry didn't work with Aretha in the way you are trying to say he did. He said it himself, he sat Aretha by the piano and her and the hits came. Aretha was self dependent Jerry and Aretha were like co-producers. Patti would have never in her life been bigger than Aretha. Aretha was better in EVERYWAY POSSIBLE! You said you saw both Patti and Aretha in 1964 and Patti was terrible while Aretha was spectacular. Aretha was born to be a legend, she is up in the ranks with the very best.
And that is a lie Aretha, Jerry stated that Aretha the definition of a professional, she was alway prepared for a session. The only time Aretha missed a few session was when her husband Ted White embarrased her by being drunk during the I Never Loved A Man session, she went into hiding because she was ashamed of his actions. Aretha is a producer, a arranger, and a musican. She was at the forefront of all her music. And for the record the only thing Patti can do is scream.
The announcer's voice introducing Aretha and Ray sounds very familiar is that the legendary E. Rodney Jones? Can anyone help me with the answer? Beez
