Aretha Franklin (and Duane Allman)

I'm sure y'all have heard the Queen of Soul belt out "Respect" and "Think", but here are a few Aretha songs that you may not have come across yet:


"It Ain't Fair" - some great Duane Allman slide guitar work in the background

"The Weight" - another song featuring Duane's slide guitar

"Keep Me Hanging On"



Obviously Duane and Aretha made great music together.  Duane seems to bring out the best of the folks he played with.  For example, listen to this Wilson Pickett rendition of the famous Beatles song:

"Hey Jude"


As always .... please let me know if the AdFly links are too much of a nuisance.  Screw it - I can't get these stupid AdFly links to work properly with YouTube, so I removed them.  The links on this post all go directly to YouTube now.
