Aretha Franklin - Motown Legend
|
All these news reports about 'Motown Legend' Aretha Franklin.
She never actually released anything on the Motown label. Atlantic, Columbia, Chess... Yes, but not Motown

A woman shouting rather than singing.
What is it that makes a legend these days? One top twenty hit.
Two or more is a genius?

Motown is the city of Detroit.
The best of that city, musically, IMHO, was the MC5. I don't think they released anything on the label named after the city.

Also done `There's a Ghost in My house'....
A big song in the Northern Soul scene was a choon called `I'm on my way' by Dean parrish.... they booked him to play at the Wigan casino in the 70's and were amazed when a small white New Yorker turned up at the club...
