tromprof Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I was lucky enough to get hired to play with her in a concert in Dayton OH. 20 plus years ago. Definitely one of my top professional memories. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaudeJ1 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Pink Cadillac! Great Detroit Girl. I met her personal photographer, who accompanied her everywhere she went, at the lab and he told me some great stories! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1290 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I saw her so many times at the old Roostertail Supper Club in Detroit. She hit the high note and rattled the glass. Always my Queen! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 WFMT (Chicago and the worlds best classical station) played some Gershwin and then segued to an announcement of her passing. Then played this recording made when she was 18 years old. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebes Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Me I'm headed over to Right This Minute with a six pack of original lps. Some of her best work and some, so so, but I will tell you this, there is magic in even her more mundane works. Quite frankly, I was always more impressed by her intelligence than her voice, and given the awesomeness of her voice that shows you just how special she was. All glory to you Ms. Franklin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 She sold the hell out of this album. I have three copies and I wasn't even collecting her at the time: "Whose Zoomin Who" (includes the disco "Riding on the Freeway") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
