A great singer and Ambassador - but that voice will never die.
I recorded "The Blues Brothers" the other night, must watch it again. She turns up in there running a Diner . . . and then launches into "Freedom". The film is a great piece of nonsense.
(John Lee Hooker is busking outside the Diner ).
Bob.
Yep. A ludicrously funny movie - one of my favourites. I first saw it as a 'B' movie supporting the main attraction. I was amazed at all these great artists popping up and then along comes Carrie Fisher as the crazed girlfriend. Your right. Aretha's scene in the diner is brilliant.
Good voice good singer but not my cup of tea.
RIP
My favourite scene is Ray Charles as the music shop owner but Aretha comes a close second.
Carrie Fisher was a gold medallist at snorting the white stuff, Totaly off her trolley while filming star wars. She would have given Belushi a run for his money.A great loss and what a film ... IMHO the best movie car chase ever. I recently read the movie had a budget for cocaine (largely consumed by Belushi I expect)
