Performed live on Soul Train on April 14th, 1973. This is some funky funky Aretha!

I found this clip on my new favorite blog, Mr. Dante Fontana's Visual Guidance Ltd. I wish I could lock myself up for the next 6 months straight and go through each and every one of the incredible videos he's posted. His collection is unreal!

Chaka Khan - The Every Woman

I was just going to post one of her videos tonight, but I couldn't resist. She's just so fucking AMAZING! Completely unique and special and gifted, her voice is a national treasure. And she is one funky bitch!! Oh yeah, and she gave women a seriously kickass anthem... How could I not do a tribute? You'll thank me, I promise.

Al Green sings his ass off in this live performance. If this doesn't get you laid, nothing will....
(Take a moment to also admire the sassy scarf he used as a sling for his broken arm.)
