ARETHA FRANKLIN - MDINIGHT TRAIN TO GEORGIA - 1977

[apoliticalman]

This was an impression. If you seen this entire video Aretha started off by speaking of some some of the premier female vocalist at the time and went on to give an impressions, at one time during the recording she even asked the audience "Do you like impressions". She was just having some fun.

Aretha borrowed that hat and song from The Empress of Soul Gladys Knight. She wore it at the grammys in 1976 singing the songs of the year.

@higgybaby1 What the hell are you talking about Aretha is in Paris that hat is very common in Paris. And she also sings Ain't No Moutain High Enough and Respect Yourself.

[Lynmoody]

it really doesn't matter it sounds good and she still is paying her respect to Glady's Knight despite what people try to make her appear to be! Aretha is really rather gracious!

[SoulSir]

Nice, rendition.

[higgybaby1]

This is not an impression this is her redention of The Empress of Soul Gladys Knight's Midnight Train to Georgia.

[ARETHAVIDEOS]

Yes it is, of course she added her own vocal style to it. Its more an impression of Gladys style. Watch the Respect Yourself i posted, that was the first part. It says do you like impressions, i would like to highlight some of the top ladies in the business.
