Jerry Orbach?! I didn’t see any of his work except for Law and Order, and he was terrific. It’s nice to see him in his younger days.

Aretha's speaking voice is so soft and sweet and her singing voice has such power and strength, I think her using her real voice is what threw them off! AMAZING!
@mdiggs63652 жыл бұрын
I get the impression that she was so famous at the time that the panel didn’t think a singer of her stature would be there so none of them thought to name her.

She was by far the biggest singer of the day, universally acclaimed, and she made no attempt to disguise her voice! They were obviously not attuned to Soul and R&B music.

Arlene would have been 67 here, and probably didn't spend much time listening to "current" music, but one of the other three should have guessed, other than, as others here have suggested, maybe they didn't expect someone of Aretha's stature to appear on WML

@AJB3 Aretha was on many talk shows and other TV programs in the late 1960's and early 1970's (the height of her carrer) where she was interviewed and also spoke with the hosts of TV shows. In addition, the panelists are in the entertainment business. It's mindboggling they didn't recognize her voice

Remember this was a time before social media. Unless a singer was on TV or radio in interviews, there's no reason why people would know what they sounded like in conversation.

Yes, the show in its original incarnation left the air in 1967, but a five-night per week syndicated version began airing in 1968, and would run until1975. As this was listed as September 1974, it must have been the final season.

I have never seen Aretha Franklin answer so many questions, her speaking voice was sultry in this video. She usually popped right off the stage. She turned into a huge diva. Perhaps that was her reaction to the baloney she dealt within the industry and among the general population. IDK
