Gone but never forgotten RIP Aretha Franklin, Fred Berry aka Mr Penguin, Greg Pope aka Cambellock Jr, Don Campbell aka Campbellock and Adolfo Quiñones aka Shabba Doo. The legacies of you all still live on.
Aretha Louise Franklin’s speaking voice is as beautiful as her singing voice. Very creative way in announcing the nominees. Her elegance and sophistication represented black womanhood in a very positive way.
....i remember when this 1st aired i was so proud of the Lockers....SHABBA DOO doing the BUMP with the QUEEN OF SOUL....AMAZING....a serious moment in black culture....i remember my mom laughing and smiling at this....
This was by FAR the best award show performance/nominations announcement I've EVER seen! The audience forgot where they were and went AFTER it...and how about that band?!!!
As evident in the video, disco sure had its own style and place in music. Aretha certainly sounded and looked great here, although most started seeing her and many others as aging soul singers at this point in her career. Thank god she was able to come back and reemerge as THE singer, and performer she is known for, Aretha Franklin.
I agree. If you look at Grammy history in the late 70’s, she lost to other female artist in the R&b category. It would be seven years since 1975 she won the Female R&b award.
@@beugene81 yep man. I think Natalie Cole broke Arethas winning streak and there was a sort of riff between them for years due to some reporters saying that Natalie was the new Queen of Soul. Natalie soon struggled too after she drifted deeper into drugs and eventually made a come back too.
In fact, Aretha was not nominated that year. She was nominated the following year and lost to Natalie Cole and then again to Thelma in 1978 Houston and Donna Summer in 1979. She was not nominated in 1980. In 1981, Aretha lost to Stephanie Mills. Finally, in after six years, she won the award.
It seems as there was a new crop of Soul Divas breaking out after 1975: Chaka Kahn, Natalie Cole, Donna Summer, Stephanie Mills, Teena Marie, and Minnie Riperton. Dionne Warwick made huge comeback in 1979 thanks to Clive Davis CEO of Arista Records. When Aretha left Atlantic Records to go to Arista Records, her career started to revive.
Yes I hear the logic of that!!! Does that mean I have to change the description again haha Yeah I will as soon as I'm back at my.laptop...had this for quite a while but no description other than it is the Lockers lol
Oh wow! Bummer she broke Aretha's winning streak lol I love Aretha lol But I also appreciate Natalie may she also RIP :( I'll have a look!! Thanks for that observation! :)

Very nice, thanks for posting. Does anybody remember another award show with dancers? I seem to recall a show where she and the dancers came from stage right and she started off with a loud, high note. Possibly 1973? Thanks.
I realised my mistake this morning - so I will correct it may not be able to do anything about the title on the actual clip - but I will correct it on the title - 1975 :) Thank you
Hi Jason, yes you are right, I didn't realise my mistake till this morning, definitely NOT 1978 - I can correct it on the description but not sure if I can on the title I attached, youtube does have a video editor now so maybe I can change the title description on the video by clipping it out - thank you :)
I think it's 1976. Van McCoy's "The Hustle" was popular in 1975. Plus, Aretha looks much like as she did on the cover of the "You" album (with the hair in that style).
Yes you are correct, pretty sure it is 1975 - I didn't realise that till after I uploaded it last night and saw Aretha in the footage, definitely not 78 - thanks for that :)
Yes it is 76 lol looks like I have to change the description again when I'm back on my laptop I had no description on this video which I've had for yes and didn't think much about the time frame tbh thanks for your help :)

I love the way she is announcing the nominees.
They should've given her a Grammy for that run at 2:46! Beautiful!
My thoughts exactly!
Luther learned that from her!
My heroes since 1973!!!! The Campbellockers!!!!

Wow!!! Ree has many gifts, and the little bit of ablibbing she did, made me feel soo good!! Thanks Barb!:)
People were getting down!!!!
Thank U for the upload
The only dance crew Ever to present an award...
Wish they would have done more routines.. It's gets boring after a while
That was pretty ku with the addition of Aldofo "Shabba~Doo" Quinones & Aretha Franklin doing the "Bump Dance". 😊❤
This is from the 1976 Grammy Awards ceremony. 1975 was the year she was given her Grammy by David Bowie.
Yes I hear the logic of that!!! Does that mean I have to change the description again haha Yeah I will as soon as I'm back at my.laptop...had this for quite a while but no description other than it is the Lockers lol

💘 this
It's from the 75 Grammys

Very Rare.
this looks more like 1976 (or 1975)...
I think it's 1976. Van McCoy's "The Hustle" was popular in 1975. Plus, Aretha looks much like as she did on the cover of the "You" album (with the hair in that style).
