Aretha Franklin - Get It Right (SanFranDisko Mix)

As you likely know by now the world is in mourning as we lost the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin to pancreatic cancer. Over the decades of her legendary career, her voluminous voice and preeminent productions have been used by countless artists ranging from Dimitri From Paris to Zeds Dead.

Today amidst the outpouring of love comes an edit of her chart topping 1983 soulful boogie song "Get It Right" from respected remixer Paul Goodyear, aka SanFranDisko. The original life Luther Vandross and Marcus Miller instilled in the six minute single still stands strong, like Franklin's legacy. Goodyear has put Miller's bass to good use, driving this extended edit throughout, while also letting the other instrumentation shine through especially in the second half. And there is no shortage of potent play in "Get It Right," as the plethora of percussion and more, come together in a dynamic delivery.

But of course this is nothing without the Queen. She is the leader. Her delivery is everything. It shimmers. It growls. It screams. It inspires. It cannot be understated. Just writing these words puts a frog in my throat. So I'll leave it there. Enjoy the free download here. Rest In Power, Aretha.FOLLOW SANFRANDISKO: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER
