Jim Elliott Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Arethas versh has been getting a right hammering recently (particularly at Norfolk weekenders). Now I know I'm going to get a bit of stick about this but personally I just think, she (Aretha) is 'ok' as a singer . I've started playing the Baby Washington versh (Cotillion) at Elliott towers and to my inexperienced ears it's the better of the two. Now to the original point, How many versions of this are there? I think I've got about three, Supremes & Four Tops is a goodie and I seem to remember theres a version by George Benson on the same album as the sublime 'My womans good to me'. Any others? Regards Jim.

Godzilla Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 And here's the list from AMG. It's not definitive though, as you can see it doesn't mention Baby Washington. George Benson Charles Earland Aretha Franklin Little Willie G. La lupe Jimmy McGriff Liza Minnelli Barbara Morrison Big John Patton Esther Phillips Dusty Springfield Supremes Livingston Taylor Godz
Jim Elliott Posted April 22, 2005 Author Posted April 22, 2005 Id better get searching for the Liza Minelli version. Someone will probably cover that up if they get their hands on it If John Valenti gets a spin who knows??! Dear oh dear. Thanx for the list Jim

Guest Richard Bergman Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Aretha is an ok singer..Some would cross you off the xmas card list for that but i know what you mean...Baby Washinton link why does Aretha get such a bad reception on Soul Source ? She has released many fantastic underated ballads I reckon some soul sourcer's shoudl go and seek these out

She has released many fantastic underated ballads I reckon some soul sourcer's shoudl go and seek these out link Always did my napper in, even when I was a teenager "Oh, I'm into Northern - Aretha and Otis and James Brown are all commercial rubbish" I still can't listen to Spanish Harlem without getting a shiver Godz

Guest Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 (edited) Good god in heaven, you don't like Aretha.......jesus then there is a place waiting for you in hell..... Arethas version of dont etc, is fantastic, as Joe Orton says check her album only tracks for undiscovered wonders. Edited April 23, 2005 by Brett
