Respect - The Aretha Franklin Story

Description

RESPECT – The Aretha Franklin Story First time on Swiss tour! Aretha Franklin – the undisputed "Queen of Soul," multiple Grammy winner and the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, passed away after a life full of highs and lows on August 16, 2018, in Detroit. RESPECT – The Aretha Franklin Story, the new show from the well-known Sweet Soul Music series, presents the most important milestones of her career and provides a representative cross-section of her over 50 years of musical work. You can expect an evening full of entertainment with video clips, many biographical contents telling Aretha’s story, and a musical cast at the highest level. Not only the biggest hits from the international charts like 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 are performed by the top-tier lead and backing vocals Darnita Williams, Noreda Graves, Donniele Graves, April "Journi" Cook, Menoosha Susunghi, Lisa Benjamin, and Flore M in a manner of tribute with their own expressiveness and performance power. The show also features Aretha’s lesser-known soul and gospel gems and her successful duets with other well-known 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 famous hits like Bridge Over Troubled Water. A ten-piece band (drums, percussion, bass, guitar, keyboard, Hammond organ, trumpet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone) guarantees the authentic sound of the soul era. And all of this is filled with respect and deep reverence for the immortal Queen of Soul. Participants: Respect - The Aretha Franklin Story
