Aretha Franklin recording "This Is for Real"
Aretha Franklin was recording her "Jump To It" album with Luther Vandross producing when I spent some time with her in the studio for a Today Show "On the Record" segment. She played the piano & sang some gospel tunes for me, told me about the first song she learned to play, and then we filmed her laying down the vocal for "This is for Real". Either I screwed up the title in the story or the song had a different working title at the time. We all looked a lot younger in '81 or '82 when this was recorded including Chris Wallace who was hosting the Today Show then.
