The impromptu performance occurred during a tribute to Aretha Franklin, who was promoting her new album entitled La Diva. Soul Train paid tribute to Robinson earlier on that day’s taping. So since he was still at the studio while Franklin was taping her segments, he agreed to do a duet with her of “Ooo Baby Baby,” a huge hit he had with his group The Miracles in 1965

Don Cornelius adds a good and awkward interview to the beginning of this clip as well if you want to skip head a couple minutes.

Sorry, the mix is really bad for this the song. No, your speakers aren't screwy, that saxophone is clipping way the funk out. Sampling several videos for this performance leads me to believe this is the fault of that sneaky Dick Cavett...

We are all so much richer for it. The list of contributions are far too long to try to tick off, and I'm sure many words far more meaningful than mine will be spoken in the coming weeks, but I can imagine how cathartic it was for all those kids growing during his rise to have someone to turn to and think, hey, I don't have to fit into a box. This isn't weird. This is cool.

If you want a tie in with yesterday's video, I guess both Lennon and Gallagher were pretty big assholes. Does that work?
