IN A LIFETIME with ARETHA FRANKLIN

Leo’s series featuring and celebrating the music, life and times of the Queen Of Soul

Episode Three of Leo Green’s  “In A Lifetime – with Aretha Franklin” opens with a stunning recording of a really heard ballad, that Aretha recorded for her 1967 album “I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You” – this was the year she would release an incredible four albums, all of which we’ll hear from in this episode.

This episode features her covering the Rolling Stones; a joyously funky version of “You Are My Sunshine” and Leo also shares her recordings of “96 Tears”, “That’s Life”and “Baby, I Love You”.

All the way through these recordings, Leo examines the musicians from the Muscle Shoals studio, who contributed so much to the wonderful mix of Soul, Gospel, Blues, Jazz and Country that combined to give Aretha her own distinctive and incredible sound.
