In Memory of Aretha Franklin

The Queen of Soul has passed away.
May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

This clip is from THE BLUES BROTHERS. She is here seen opposite Matt ‘Guitar’ Murphy, great guitarist who died in june, 2018. On sax is “Blue Lou” Marini.

Other titans in the field also cameo’d in this film, including James Brown, Ray Charles, Cab Calloway and John Lee Hooker, but for me, this scene stole the show.

The song is ‘Think’ from her 1968 album Aretha Now.
