Aretha Franklin live in Stockholm 1968

Aretha Franklin live in Stockholm 1968 This is Aretha at age 26. Not very young but still early in her career. She is very much the Reverend’s daughter and her style is as much gospel as soul. It is 1968. Black and white. Poor lighting, two cameras and possibly not even stereo. The backup singers seems to have had no professional choreography. Their moves are homely and awkward, but their singing is so much the better. The band is as good as it gets. Overall it is not the ultimate in quality, but rare as a diamond, and just as lovely. Aretha and her group are particularly inspired on “I Never Loved a Man“. This is one of the earliest surviving live performance of Aretha Franklin done with any professionalism. The original recording was done by Swedish Television. The Songs: 1. Natural Woman . . . . . . . . . . 00:00-03:06 2. Come Back Baby . . . . . . . . . 03:10-05:40 3.
