Respect - The Aretha Franklin Story

Description

Aretha Franklin – The undisputed 'Queen of Soul', multiple Grammy winner and the first woman in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, passed away after a life full of ups and downs on August 16, 2018, in Detroit. RESPECT – The Aretha Franklin Story, the new show from the well-known Sweet Soul Music series, presents the key milestones of her career and provides a representative overview of her over 50 years of musical creation. You can expect a full-length and entertaining show with video inserts, many biographical contents that tell Aretha's journey, and a musical cast of the highest level. Not only will the greatest hits from the international charts such as I Never Loved A Man, Respect, Chain Of Fools, Natural Woman, Think, I Say A Little Prayer, Don’t Play That Song, Spanish Harlem, Rock Steady, Until You Come Back To Me, Angel, and Ain’t No Way be interpreted by the high-profile lead and backing vocals Darnita Williams, Noreda Graves, Donniele Graves, April 'Journi' Cook, Menoosha Susunghi, Lisa Benjamin, and Flore M in the best tribute manner with their own expressiveness and performance power. Aretha's lesser-known soul and gospel gems and her successful duets with other famous stars, such as I Knew You Were Waiting (with George Michael), Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves (with Eurythmics), plus some of her many cover versions of well-known hits like Bridge Over Troubled Water will also be presented. A ten-piece band (Drums, Percussion, Bass, Guitar, Keyboard, Hammond Organ, Trumpet, Alto Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, Baritone Saxophone) with 8 vocals guarantees the authentic sound of the soul era. And all of this is done with respect and deep reverence for the immortal queen of soul.
