Ran from $one hundred fifty standing to $450 for the best seats in the
house, with no "comps." This meant also no celebrities (they do not like
to spend), but Franklin did introduce previous comrades like Atlantic
Records cofounder Ahmet Ertegun and famed music publisher Allen Klein,
who controls the legal rights to the early Rolling Stones hits and the
tunes of Sam Cooke. This might be the only report you study of this

and the other employed by Aretha's publicist. This stealth display had
been rescheduled from April, with some thinking it might by no means
occur. It did, though, as Franklin, dressed in a bejeweled, flowing
lemon yellowcolored caftan and sporting a hair cut with bangs and a
flip, arrived to occupy the phase. She placed a instead big beige Louis
Vuitton pocketbook below the infant grand piano, picked up the mike and

slammed through the rarely listened to "Jump to It," her 1980 comeback
single for Clive Davis a shifting rendition of "Have You Ever Been in

said, adding, "I hope my leading is intact, but if it's not, just

On to My Religion," Miss Aretha boogied throughout the stage, dancing
with abandon like it was 1968. She was so swept up by the energy that
she sighed, "Alright," and laughed when the tune was over. "If you want
to hear your songs performed properly," she introduced with glee, "give

on piano, Darryl Houston, et al, as nicely as the 4 New York horn gamers
