Aretha FRANKLIN - "Since You've Been Gone" (1993/Bonnie RAITT)

Aretha FRANKLIN : Duets/ 21 april 1993.

"Aretha Franklin: Duets," a tribute to the great soul singer at the Nederlander Theater on Tuesday night, lavished praise on Ms. Franklin as stars stepped forward and declared how thrilled they were to share the stage with her. Bonnie Raitt, Smokey Robinson, Rod Stewart, Elton John, Gloria Estefan and P.M. Dawn joined Ms. Franklin in a benefit concert for Gay Men's Health Crisis, the AIDS organization. The actors Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro also appeared (...) Ms. Raitt sang in sustained, barely ornamented phrases, her voice clinging tenderly to each note; Ms. Franklin answered her with affectionate, elaborately detailed lines."

Bonnie was not having that introduction at all. LOL! Aretha wasn't having her cut her off lol.  Love how their egos came in but they both cooled it at the end. They are friends you can tell

[Lynmoody]

I've nothing to say bad about either of them. I LOVE ARETHA/BUT BONNIE IS NO JOKE EITHER. I KNOW ARETHA KNEW THAT TOO>>>>HER PERFORMANCE WITH BONNIE SHOWS SHE HAS MUTUAL RESPECT FOR HER! ARETHA ACKNOWLEDGES HER AT THE END< SOMETHING SHE DOESN'T NORMALLY DO!
