Aretha Franklin is the undisputed Queen of Soul and proved once again that she is a trooper. The venue was perfect as there was not a bad seat in the house. Aretha was on time and RIGHT ON TIME! Her Operetic performance was to die for! Fortunatley we booked the same hotel and got to see her, members of her band, and her back-up singers up close and personal as she both departed and returned. We waited outside of the hotel after the show and she graced us with an autograph on the cover of two vintage albums (Aretha, Freeway of Love; the Pink Cadallac exclusive, and Who's Zoomin Who, circa 1985). She wrote "Best, Aretha 2013". She was in great voice and although a bit slow and out of her platform shoes mid-show, she still can belt the tunes. Her tribute to Whitney Houston brought the tears as she shared her love of "Nippy" with us, not a dry eye in the house! I am glad that she came to Norfolk and would love to see her again and again. There are images of the night posted to Facebook.
