Manage episode 289031669 series 2627507
While many of us are still taking about GENIUS, the Aretha Franklin anthology on the National Geographic Channel, many of us are still remembering our favorite Aretha songs, appearances, concerts, and so much more,
Rolling Stone magazine called her, "The Greatest Singer of All Times"
She won 18 Grammy Awards and nominated for 26
She won the Presidential Medal of Freedom
... and so much more ...
But in this special episode of my podcast, I pull form the ROLONDA! show vault and share with you the day I spent with this incomparable legend. We sang, she cooked her famous Shrimp a la Ree, and she shared stories that I bet you never heard -- like:
Why she has such a fierce fear of flying
What she was really like as a kid
Why she dropped out of high school
How she responded to questions about her father
What man inspired the song, Call Me - the Moment You Get There!
We talk dating, motherhood, and how she wanted her very own talk show!
Its not every day you get to spend the day with a legend - I want to share that for me with you!
Enjoy! And don't forget to subscribe and please leave a nice rating and review!
