“WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A DUO”

I saw this footage the past weekend at the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame, where I had a gig (which I forgot to list, oops) as part of a Tribute Night for Aretha Franklin.

I love this so many different ways, especially the obvious chemistry between Smokey and Aretha. And Don Cornelius is at his deep voiced best too.

BTW, I had a really incredible time. Not only did I get to DJ with MC Lyte(!) but I met some incredible staff at the HOF. To boot: I was on the same flight as Chaka Khan back to L.A. It’s nice to know that, after all these years as a DJ and music journalist, I can still be starstruck on occasion.

Speaking of Aretha…this is coming soon.
