I want to hear a Daivd Bowie/Aretha Franklin collab album. I feel like it could work

[sexydecoy1988]

lol love aretha she sounds country too

[fwainseattle]

Aretha is a perfectly beautiful woman.

[tommiexander]

Wow I have never seen Aretha so upbeat and excited. Because she is usually laid back in any situation. But she is beautiful and glowing here like the Queen that she is. And how in the world did her remark about "this is so good I could kiss David Bowie" become any kind of an issue. Some people are soo petty. They will try to turn nothing into something everytime. It was just something that came out of her mouth in her excitement. Nothing more, nothing less...

[redbuckatl]

who knew in couple of moths a voice of equal electric spender would burst out and turn music alignments upside down- that force was Natalie Cole!

[meatlman99]

@redbuckatl Your right. During this time Aretha was trying to expand her market to a more adult contemporary pop idiom. Natalie is a very talent singer with a clear voice, great tone and good ear (hell she's Nat King Cole's daughter...great genes).With her gospel/soul producers, she definitely captured some marketshare from Aretha during the mid to late 70s.

Aretha is so spectacularly beautiful here. Oh my goodness, she is so beautiful. and her talking voice is so beautiful. Aretha is so precious.

[taddyd1]

She is so sweet when she said " I meant that in a beautiful way."

LUV Aretha!

Her singing was at it's amazing best when she was skinny too!

[taddyd1]

Bowie's wife wrote that he broke Aretha's Lady Soul lp and threw it out the window after a visit from the Beatle's because Paul had taken David's record off the turntable and put on Ree's.

[determination9995757]

@taddyd1 THAT IS SO SO SAD THAT SOME PEOPLE'S RACIST MINDS WOULD GO THERE SIMPLY BECAUSE THIS PRECIOUS, BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMAN MADE A STATEMENT LIKE THAT. WHO EVER WAS OFFENDED AT THAT IS A SICK PUPPY.

RACISM IS MENTAL ILLNESS.

[30Silas]

...pretty lady!

[neededsaying]

Yes,she did not get another until 81 for "Hold On I'm Coming" from her Love All The Hurt Away album. She was nominated several times after this..I am still surprised she did not get one for "Something He Can Feel" in 76...

[WhosZoominWho]

Damn, Aretha looks so thin in comparing her to today

[almightyfire1]

"Wow, this is so good I could kiss David Bowie."

Lol - was that an insult?

[HollywoodParadiseYes]

ha!!! ha!!!

[MONRAYDAYIZBACK]

it was a joke, she actually did kiss him when she came up.

[harvsoul]

In response to that, David Bowie banned his girlfriend from playing Aretha Franklin records.

[KaraBear567]

Really? Do you mean DB banned his girlfriend, or his girlfriend banned DB? I've never heard about that.

[owlie14]

@KaraBear567 Oh, yeah. He got so offended when she said the whole "i'm so happy, i could kiss david bowie" bit that he forbid her to play aretha's records "lest I break them in two".

[allude8]

omg. is that her?

[LucasandLois]
