"Aretha Franklin performs at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, Feb. 10, 2008, in Los Angeles."

“This king size bedspread is just too tight!”

[Interesting Times]

Nancy is an underrated singer herself. Click here for a recent sample.

And with that, the Aretha --> Heart thread hijack is complete.

My work here is done.

Finger scramble.....
One is svelte,
the other voluptuous.....

Both valuable as entertainers....same as Aretha.

[Interesting Times]

Sorry, wrong link. Try this one.

[dangus]

No, gosh, I feel awful. I always thought they were rather over-rated, but compared to what we’ve got nowadays...

(Not that it’s any better, but I was sorta more making fun of Anne Wilson more than Nancy.)

“Riding in a Yellow Cadillac...”

Ann looks smaller in that picture than she has in recent years. She looks like she has lost some weight.

As for Aretha - love you, ReRe!

[dangus]

(Not that it’s any better, but I was sorta more making fun of Anne Wilson the skinny one more than Nancy Wilson the uhh, well-fed one.)

[MotleyGirl70]

I see a great singer singing....

As do I. It's a shame to think the whole point of posting the picture with (that's just wrong alert) in the headline was to make snarky remarks about Aretha's size.

All I can do is throw alot of respect her way--she's one of the greatest of all times.

It gets warm under those lights. I guess she wanted to be comfortable

[MotleyGirl70]

Good Heavens, she looks like a rotting banana!

Sometimes I really hate FR when I see comments like this.

[SwankyC]

Apparently she didn’t get the memo that *ahem* overweight women need not wear spaghetti straps.

[poobear]

“Aretha is the best. How’s that for a caption?”

Amen!!

She could perform in a burlap sack and bring the house DOWN!!!

Her voice is a National treasure! Glad I am able to listen to her in my lifetime. They’ll never be another Aretha Franklin!

[MotleyGirl70]

I have to leave this thread. It’s just too DU for my taste.

Me too. Truly pathetic.

[BigCinBigD]

On reflection,sculptor Frederic Aguste Bartholdi decides on another model after changing the theme from Lady Moo Moo to Lady liberty.

[najida]

I’m out too ;)

[Karliner]

Eh, like the Ventures or some other "over the hill" folks I just close my eyes and listen. Then again there are some Lane Bryant like above average weight people that SHOULD NEVER wear certain attire. Then there's *ahem" San Francisco Barry Abdul....

[Yaelle]

Sorry - I love Aretha. If she’s enjoying life and food, please. Go for it, Lady!

[My hearts in London - Everett]

I totally agree with you, MotleyGirl70. :~( Some people on here have no class whatsoever, IMO.

[GATOR NAVY]

Saw them in Seattle in ‘76(?) after “Dreamboat Annie”. What a great show.
