• Aretha Franklin and Bi... - BEAUTY AND THE BEAST DUET WITH BILLY
Beauty and the Beast performance duet is on my channel here too - check it out I want to give Billy a big hug - jeez he make's me feel sad for him - he really loved Aretha - Billy Always in an emotional interview remembering Aretha Franklin who he refers to as 'His Sister' - they really do have a history - his mother being Lola Moore who was a big part of Aretha's life growing up a very much loved mother figure to Aretha and her siblings - and a good friend of Rev CL Franklin - she speaks of Lola in her book From These Roots with great affection - never knew Billy was her son. Billy was also Aretha's backup singer for many years as well - he says 22 years I suspect it could be a little longer than that - great interview - this is how it was provided in segments - so this is all of it - just a bit choppy

She helped alot of people over the years and never spoke a word about it. That's what i call gracious.

It’s in our nature Aries people we are like that we love helping others and don’t expect anything from them
I could listen to him talk about her all day🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
"She knew who she was as a person and as a singer so she wasn't intimidated by anyone." OKAY!!!
Absolutely was just posting to another friend in here and we were discussing that ...I believe she just wasn't into living her life in the public eye..aloof... Maybe...but that's fine with me I love that mystery about Aretha.. Was just saying on another post its hard to speak of her in the past tense isn't it :(
@@MrsMattMurphy It is! When he said "I didn't expect her go", I felt that because that's how I feel. I truly thought she would pull through.
@@anjelheaven yeah Babe me too...I never expected her.to go also because of the grandeur of Aretha thought she would pull through she endured so much during her life ..I hate this hideous disease took her from us...hope.her sons are okay and they got through Christmas as best as can be expected can't imagine what it is like for them..having initially a funeral that was going to be private to one that was televised around the world I thank them for that but during the service I kept thinking how are they feeling having to grieve in such a public manner...Prince's I say they are!
@@MrsMattMurphy What really shocked me is how long she had been suffering. 8 or 9 years is a long time! So when she did the interview with Wendy Williams, after her surgery, was that when she was told she'd only live a few months or was it prior to the surgery? She seemed to be doing fine up until about 2016.
I researched pancreatic cancer on google of course lol but seriously she last beyond any I had read about the usual life expectancy was like 12 months if you're lucky! She far exceeded that how strong she was pancreatic cancer is one of the really nasty ones..yes 2016/seemed to be when things started deteriorate as far as her health from really 2017 that's when I started to become really concerned when I saw videos and photos of her at that open air concert at Detroit I knew then things were not good...then we heard nothing about her not even a news article..I tell you those people of Detroit must've really loved this woman they never sold a story they never blabbed to the news media I'm sure many regular people in Detroit knew of her condition so for them to respect her like that is beautiful.. I'll post this other video I have where a everyday member of new bethel.speaks of her I was flawed at what she did and how much she was loved an amazing woman her sons should be so proud
She had to get off Columbia records. Her move to Atlantic with I NEVER LOVED A MAN was the best idea.
One of my favorites!!!! Omg!!!
Columbia Records wanted Aretha Franklin to be a younger Nancy Wilson.
Capital Records wanted Natalie Cole to be a younger Aretha Franklin.
The music business comparison of Artist is never ending...
@@ask4theupgrade359 I can only imagine. It's funny you mentioned Nancy my favorite jazz artist. Aretha is in a category all by herself. Natalie Cole was well rounded and could riff to no end. Nancy and Aretha had the gift af telling the Story completely. It is amazing, from beginning to end. Natalie could reach inside and grawl when needed. Amazing I must say. All three were unique. But, Aretha had an unbelievable talent.
Good choice of vocalist.⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘
Aretha definitely knew who she was as a singer. Her musical gift as a pianist was under rated and that she may not have known the quality of her gift, but as a singer and her legacy as of singer and her contribution to the musical industry, Aretha was very clear of it. I am glad this young man shared his relationship with Aretha. Everyone that has spoken about Aretha have one common theme. Aretha didn't just sing about respect, she embodied it. Long live the Queen.
I totally agree especially about the singing part. I think about the interview with CBS when they were telling her that she was underrated and not recognized for her songwriting and she was like, "That's alright. I'm recognized for what I always wanted to be recognized for and that's a singer!"
I like how he said She knew who she was as a singer and as a person. People seem to think she didn't. Most recently some entertainers said that Aretha didn't know what she had as a singer. Billy thanks for acknowledging that she did know.
Oh she knew who she was..its the same when people say she was shy...Aretha wasn't shy..she may not have liked living her life in the public eye! But she was not shy she would hate people saying that only.people who don't know her tbh I've seen Gladys Knight on a few occasions say that Aretha would not be impressed was quite surprised over Gladys's involvement in her home going and other events as I really don't think they were close in her bio Gladys was not her favourite person even at one time Aretha sued a newspaper that printed something that Gladys had told them no point suing Gladys because at that time she had a raging gambling addiction and had nothing...the settlement was done off shore apparently and had a silence clause I do remember reading about it and what it was about jeez over fifteen years ago...people who say they knew her really didn't know her...at her home going her fans could've written a better eulogy than the one that was given..I love her mystery I love that about her...its so hard to speak of her in the past tense isn't it :(
@@MrsMattMurphy yes I remember this. I was amazed Gladys was at the home going. But at the end of the day they probably made peace with one another. All people including celebs can be messy. We don't know what lies behind their relationship. And the secrets are just that secrets.
@@majorboyce123 true that! Aretha is a much better person than I..she was truly as they put it many times 'a child of the church' which made her forgive maybe not forget but definitely forgive.. Such a strong woman of faith quite a role model I love the stories we never heard about her before so many stories of her Generosity and the things she did for.people going thru crisis her community her church..wow she was so special
Thank you for this interview, these types of interviews from her inner circle help ease the pain of missing the Queen, knowing she was a real person with unshakeable Faith, have been a blessing to help me deal with this great loss of my favorite singer. Somedays I can't believe she is no longer with us, but I am thankful for her artistry and her magic while she was on Mother Earth. It is comforting knowing her voice will never be silenced thanks to the rich musical legacy she left behind.
Aaaw that's beautiful I feel the same way I'm still grieving her loss and I don't care who knows about it..its hard to speak of her in the past tense its just a great great loss to all us fans who adored this woman not only was she the premier female artist ever she was a great humanitarian.. I always knew she was a charitable woman but the stories that have emerged since she left us just flaws me..she truly was a Queen.. Thankyou for your lovely comment..subscribe if you like because I only post Aretha Franklin and yes I love the interviews and the stories from those who loved her giving us an insight into this most private of private mega stars
@@MrsMattMurphy
I love Aretha my cousin calls me Aretha Franklin because i listen to her music an wear her tee 👕. I don't care who knows how i feel about her, an i was defending Aretha i don't like people talking about her i tend to go off if any body do. I have to control that
@@sammierandall5634 Same here Babe - I bought a t-shirt off her neice - Im in Australia - but I wanted something special to wear although I love some of the ones I saw at her homegoing - but I thought coming from her neice that makes it special to me - she sent me a memorial card too - which I cherish more than anything - have it framed - I'm the same I started my own fb group only a few days ago because I don't know why some people start or go on aretha groups when the run this amazing Queen down - miss her terribly shed many tears still over her - if you're on fb come and join and have a look - its just starting off - and i have some amazing members who love her as much as me - facebook.com/groups/ArethaEternalQueen/ we talk about the loss because it is good to get it out - and of course her wonderful music that I can't get enough of! She's the best - nobody will ever come close to her talent!
Close friends knew her well and other's thought they knew her. Miss Ree fought hard but she was tired of being sick.
So true my Major
I love this authentic interview!🥂🥂💖💖
This guy looks young!🤔to have known her since Aretha was a teenager.
Aretha Franklin a beautiful woman a beautiful soul❤️❤️❤️
This is gold.
She certainly earned a few honorary doctorates. Billy is awesome too. He has been through so much and he is still fighting. Be blessed my brother.
Awesome interview. Billy Always is the real deal. My late Uncle Darryl played with Ms. Franklin for years and always spoke highly of him.
Interesting that people and fans wanted her to reveal personal things about her life and she never would. As hurtful as people were to her about revealing things about her whether true or false She Never Told their business. That's a true friend and heartfelt person. People wonder why she had a small circle of friends. People are not trustworthy. Aretha was not a dummy. Its very possible a will was created and maybe destroyed. Illness and death can bring on a different character out of family and friends. I truly hope no family member robbed her and it's a mishap or mistake. This Legend and her Legacy should not be clouded by the very thing she held dear FAMILY.
Well said as always my Major!!
That could also be a possibility too!! About the will!
Hey major were you on either of the old Aretha groups back in the day,,? AOL and Yahoo? You seem so familiar to me :)
I so hope its not a family member but I have a bad feeling over this I hope Edward Franklin gets the information he is seeking the police said there will be a paper trail let's hope so whoever it is should do time over this..who would want to do this to this beautiful Queen? :(
The old school term "will take it to my grave"
I love Aretha and I love you for loving her. I visited her Church New Bethel some time ago. Sang in the pews with Pastor Smith. Her music is eternal, timeless! Words can't express
THE QUEEN OF SOUL WILL NEVER DIE
He did a great job singing angel at the funeral.
That he did! Ill have to watch that again actually
I did the best that I could....with Laryngitis and heartbreak....we were breaking down continuously holding trying to hold each other up....
@@alwayspublishing I understand and you did a great job.
I used to be tickled how she would say " Mister Billy Alwayssssss " during her show's 🌹
Oh my goodness Sir U was a blessing to Aretha & to us for speaking so wonderful about Aretha. Thk U for sharing. I've never met her but real people talking about real people is heart felt, it's real & U can feel it. God bless U
Thanks for the video. I always wondered about her background singers as well. Many of them toured with her for decades as he did. I remember him and I would see him with other artists occasionally. He has a certain way of getting the song out of him.
Thank you Mrs Matt Murphy.
You're so Welcome - Feel sorry for Billy in this interview - I got it off a newspaper site - this was all there was unfortunately - Im still looking to see if there's more though
Thanks so much I can feel his love and his pain Mrs Murphy I don't think anyone thought she was going not even Aretha she was on the phone making plans a week before concerning her career and she wanted to help and spend time with her grandchildren.
I don't think Aretha was shy she had a deserning spirit. She was a minsters child. Gladys said when she first met Aretha she was not warm to her but yet people on the street talk about how nice she was.
Lovely, generous, articulate man. Feelin the Love 💕
Y’all I have always loved Billy Always.
He sang backing vocals at the Divas Live in 98, right? I think I remember her personally introducing each singer at the end of "Natural Woman" but it's been a while.
Yeah he has been with her a long long time - but yes you're correct he was introduced on Divas LIVE in 1998 - he has appeared or backed her on a lot of hee concerts - a lot
ruclips.net/video/0_w6ZZrJlGw/видео.html THIS IS BEAUTY AND THE BEAST DUET HE WAS TALKING ABOUT ITS HERE ON MY CHANNEL :)
Yes. I remember it mostly because people thought Aretha was disrespecting the other divas by introducing them. I didn't get that. He also did Oprah with her once when she was trying to "dance" lol
WOW, we are from The Westpullman area! Chi- town is with y’all!!
Big up’s to Princeton Park!💯
I will share this..Thanks for sharing!
Wanted to hear more. Perhaps he will help promote the movie RESPECT.
what a very nice and touching interview, thank you Barbara. Love you my Queen!
I know.you.love her Andre your a real long time fan of the Queen's xxxx
a pitty it's not the full interview but thanks anyway. Love you my Queen!
Yes I know I searched all over the internet to find any more or the complete interview I don't think this was televised couldn't find a television network connected to it only a newspaper associated to it I'll keep checking though it would be nice to find more this was all there was and it was cut up into four little clips :(
God let me see this!!! THIS 9 minutes is the BEST INTERVIEW about Aretha on the entire internet!!! So real and personal. Different when you hear people who KNEW...her.
For sure!
God bless Billy Always. May the lord be with him.
Thanks for this Diva Murphy. The interview to see is Brenda Corbett Bryant. Brenda was there for years. Billy seems to have a Sweet Spirit and genuinely loved her. I like this interview cause a lot people don't know the people side of Queen. People know the folklore and the myths. Aretha was human. Where is the rest of interview lol.
I want.to give him a big hug he really looks like he wants to breakdown speaking of her poor sweety he always seemed to have such high regard and love her our darling
@@MrsMattMurphy you're so right. Thank God for you and these uploads for me insight on this Great Lady and Legend.
Hey major was it you who wanted to see the video respect with cissy Toni braxton kennyg ?
@@MrsMattMurphy I wasn't aware there was one. Sure let's see it.
@@majorboyce123 okey doke
Love my sista from Detroit.
Aretha was a true Aries woman. She would never hold her tongue or mince her words. Chaka is another one. Love them for that.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
No I never was with or on any fan club rooster. I wish I had been. I might have gotten access to more memorabilia.
Aretha from the old school, they said what they meant and meant what they said IN LOVE! If you were humble and willing to grow, their advice got you where you supposed to be in life!
I've always wondered why Aretha didn't talk much about the Amazing Grace album or perform any of the songs (outside of "Amazing Grace" and "Mary Don't You Weep") after the project was released? She hardly ever mentioned the album at all.
angelheaven4 , Actually during her concerts over the years Aretha would often perform either Precious Memories or Old Landmark from the Amazing Grace album... She sang `Precious Memories ` at the White House a few years ago and at the McDonald`s Gospelfest she actually sang `Give Yourself to Jesus` from the Amazing Grace album which was the first time I`ve her sing that since she recorded it..... I`ve heard her do Mary Don`t You Weep` in concert a very few times and `Amazing Grace` occasionally ... She would always say "From the Amazing Grace Album"......and then go right into whatever song she was going to sing from the album.
She was the real deal
Great interview, but it’s the commentary from the woman for me. 😂
This is a BEAUTIFUL story! I FEEL the LOVE that they SHARED! I LOVE how he Continue to say “ this is FAMILY “!
He DIDN’T EXPECT her to go! I DIDN’T EXPECT my baby brother to go @ 27yrs. of age, so I get it! I DIDN’t EXPECT my PRECIOUS 28yr. of age ONLY “ SUN” to go last year either!
We LOVE Aretha! GOD BLESS her cause my 4 brothers and I grow up in her, LOVELY MUSIC!♥️🖤💚
❤
where is part 2
there is no part two this is it - this is all that was available
Billy had a few good songs himself back in the 80s two wrongs don't make it right didn't we do it back on track and emergency love and the lady sitting next to him is my former boss Josephine Wade of captain hard time dinning aka a mother wade Josephine's cooking in Chicago
Some media outlets seem to think Sabrina or Will are the ones that did the theft. Sad people who don't know are pointing fingers. Bills needed to be paid and it's quite possible that's where monies went. As for the homes with things in them when someone of this magnitude dies or is dying everything stops. That means something as personal as furniture being left behind is not that important. Making sure affairss are in order for transitioning takes center stage. Watching Aretha slowly lose her battle had to be very hard on all of them. Especially since she kept it hid from them for along time and she was in denial also.
