RIBS TPTD: “Queens Of Soul”

If you’ve been stopping by the main site, NetInfoWeb 2.0, you know that I have dubbed March ‘Soul Diva’ month because three of the top 10 (IMHO) female soul legends celebrate birthdays this month. Well, it is only fitting that this week’s Triple PlayThurs-Day is presented in honor of:

1. Her Majesty, the ‘Queen of Soul’, Aretha Franklin,
2. the ‘Queen of Motown’, Diana Ross, and
3. the legendary, soulful voice that can only be, Chaka Khan

Aretha starts us off by taking us to “chuuch” with my favorite gospel tune by her, Oh Mary, Don’t You Weep, as well as contributing a beautiful gospel rendition of Someday We’ll All Be Free, a blues number, Today I Sing The Blues and, Sparkle and Hooked On Your Love from the movie soundtrack among her selections.

For Diana I went with some of her top songs from her solo days in Touch Me In The Morning and Love Hangover (both personal favorites), her final release with the Supremes, Someday We’ll Be Together, as well as displaying her jazzy side with All Of Me (from “Lady Sings the Blues”).

Chaka’s selections in this mix are the most diverse. While there is the familiar (and beautiful) Sweet Thing from her days with Rufus, I wanted to showcase her versatility by including the jazz numbers All Of Me and Don’t Go To Strangers, her vocal work on Bob Baldwin’s jazz cover version of Funkin’ For Jamaica, and the theme from the James Bond movie, Goldfinger.

Enjoy…
