With all the adulation legitimately directed toward Aretha Franklin since her death last year at 76, it’s easy to forget that there were low points in her extraordinary career, even though they were far overshadowed by the high points.
Jennifer Hudson performs at the"Aretha! A Grammy Celebration for the Queen of Soul" event at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. The special is set to air on March 10, 2019, on CBS. , it’s easy to forget that there were low points in her extraordinary career, even though they were far overshadowed by the high points.
“I met her back in 1979 when it was after she was already the Queen of Soul,” Davis told The Times recently. “I mean, she was already a national treasure. Davis at the time was in the process of building a new label, Arista Records, which he started in 1974 after being fired from his post as an executive at Columbia Records. Out of the gate Arista scored monster hit singles by Barry Manilow, and Davis also made prestige signings of revered English rock band the Kinks, rising punk-poet Patti Smith, the Grateful Dead and also helped revitalize pop-R&B singer Dionne Warwick’s career.
Long story short, Franklin joined Arista and soon started moving back up the pop and R&B charts with hits including “Freeway of Love,” “Who’s Zoomin’ Who,” “Sisters Are Doin’ It for Themselves” and “I Knew You Were Waiting ” in tandem with George Michael. The latter gave Franklin only the second No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hit of her career, two decades after “Respect” in 1967.
