Aretha Franklin is one of the giants of soul music, and indeed of American pop as a whole. More than any other performer, she epitomizes soul at its most gospel-charged. Her astonishing run of late-'60s hits with Atlantic Records--"Respect," "I Never Loved a Man," "Chain of Fools," "Baby I Love You," "I Say a Little Prayer," "Think," "The House That Jack Built," and several others--earned her the title "Lady Soul," which she has worn uncontested ever since.
This special tribute to Aretha will feature the incredible vocal styles of Ms. Chiquita Green and her accomplished band of session musicians who have played with the likes of Natalia Cole, Elton John, Lil Jimmy Scott, Luther Vandross, Mariah Carey, Michael McDonald, The Ojays, Cassandra Wilson, Patti LaBelle, Celine Dion, Richard Smallwood, Maceo Parker, Cecil Payne, Alicia Keys, Tom Petty and Marlena Shaw, Bill Cosby, to name just a few.
Ticket price includes the concert and a number of special wine flights paired with classic Aretha songs. Each flight will feature classic songs paired with a number of different wines that seamlessly harmonize the senses. Starting with Aretha's early music you will immerse yourself in the beautiful power and grace of Chiquita Green as she channels the Queen of Soul.
Get your tickets today for a great night of great wine and some of the most exquisite music ever created.
