Is that Aretha and her brother in the picture with Esther?

Yes it is....................

[brandonmachew3204]

@bpeele10 yes it is, its Cecil Franklin, cirqa 1973, at the 1972 Grammy award ceremonies. Aretha awarded Esther with a grammy for "From a Whisper to a scream". Aretha had won that night for "Young, Gifted and Black" Which included the Hit singles "Day Dreaming" (pop#5, R&B#1), "Rock Steady" (pop #9, R&B#2) "Oh Me oh My I'm a fool for you baby" (Pop #73, R&B #9), "Holy Moses" (pop #37, R&B#5) "A Brand new me"(Pop#25, R&B?) All the kings horses (Pop#26, R&B#7). Great album, so was From a Whisper

At the time of its release I could hardly listen to that album, it just made me feel so sad ... even now. What a loss.

Thank you for finding this incredible song from her last official recording done in March

of 1984 in NYC. I was right there with her to

see and hear it from conception to completion!

When she needed a list of songs to record, we

called SHIRLEY ALSTON REEVES (The original lead singer of THE SHIRELLES)! They talked and sang the songs until ESTHER had

her list

If ESTHER PHILLIPS had lived to see her

recording completed, SHIRLEY would have been on the recording with her!

Everytime I hear Esther Phillips voice it just set me in that zone. She does a great job on this song.
