Swing Is In The Air
Sunday August 26th, 2018 with Peter Feldman
Two great American singers, and one killer Canadian quartet!
Two great singers were lost to us recently: Aretha Franklin and Morgana King. We'll listen to the early work of the woman who would become the Queen of Soul, during her career at Columbia Records. You may know Morgana King as Don Corleone's wife in the first two "Godfather" films, but she was an accomplished singer with a four-octave alto range. We'll also hear the latest offering from Toronto quartet The Heillig Manoeuvre. A great two hours for a Sunday afternoon!

So how about Aretha singing standards? You can hear the Gospel background, but producer John Hammond never thought Columbia took full advantage of it while she was at Columbia.
