I'm doing my radio show tomorrow

[MrScorpio]

It’ll be in tribute to the late Great Aretha Franklin, of course.

Due to the fact that Mixcloud limits the number of tracks by any particular artist to three, I’m considering one of many of Aretha’s tracks to end the show. I want it to be something special, which is pretty hard to pick because all of her songs are special.

I’d appreciate some suggestions from all of you, if you don’t mind.

1. Kick. Hard call..

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. Has to be either "Chain of Fools" or the obvious

If allowed please provide link to your show again...

3. Chain of Fools would be appropriate. Sad she died when this country was sliding so fast downhill.

Such a wonderful lady. gave so much talent to civilization. RIP 'retha.

5. It makes me think of this line...........

….."My candle burns at both ends, It will not last the night. But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends, It gives a lovely light."

6. The Weight

[Hoyt]

7. Can't name best song to end the show, but might consider a Live version of a hit.

Also, maybe something along these lines:

Also, might be nice to kick it off with a story like this -- In an interview with The New Yorker following [Franklin's] performance of (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” (a performance that memorably brought him to tears,) the former president [Obama] had this to say: “American history wells up when Aretha sings. Nobody embodies more fully the connection between the African-American spiritual, the blues, R. & B., rock and roll ― the way that hardship and sorrow were transformed into something full of beauty and vitality and hope.”

Precious Lord, from MLK's funeral.

Here's some ideas and quote above --

Whatever you do, I bet it will be a great radio show. Good luck.
