    Hi!

    I've seen clips but never the whole thing. Thanks.

    P.S. I wonder how she felt about the photo of Nina Simone hanging in the background? I've seen that photo mistakenly attributed to Aretha many times.

    The band was led by Aretha's music director at the time, Donald Townes. The musicians are listed in the cd version of her ARETHA IN PARIS album which I don't have in front of me at the time. But I do know that the pianist is Gary Illingsworth.

    Thanks Reese, on the record only the back-up singers are cited.

    In France we had a different cover :

    Great find and great performances but I'd be livid about the Nina Simone pic
