I was listening a radio show about the old Motown stars.
When they did a bit on Aretha one old timer said that the biggest impediment to Aretha Franklin’s career was....Aretha Franklin. Said she was her own worst enemy.
He gave some examples but I’ve forgotten what they were.
I have heard she was a real diva, demanding and thought her feces had no odor. I am someone who loves her music and doesn’t like her. She was serious when she said Berry should play her. I wonder what berry thought?
She was not a Motown star. She was an Atlantic Records star. a technicality.
