The Aretha Franklin Story is back in Noosa

Australia’s finest soul singer Angie Narayan is back once again to bring the ’respect’ to Noosa.

Show producer Monique said the show was more than showcasing Aretha’s greatest songs.

“It’s a story about family, loyalty and victory, layered with glorious harmonies and sassy repartee,“ she said.

“Not only was Aretha the undisputed Queen of Soul, she also changed the landscape of R&B music.

“With her incredible four octave vocal range, and a hurricane of a voice – she is one of the most successful divas that has ever lived.

“I wanted to honour her legacy with the highest regard, so when I went looking for a singer who could connect with Aretha’s journey, and the voice to match, I couldn’t go past Australia’s finest soul singer, Angie Narayan.”

Angie’s extraordinary talent was showcased on the hit reality TV show, Australian Idol. Dubbed Australia’s ‘Soul Mama’ by Ian Dickinson, she has continued to blow people away with her ground breaking voice.

The show is a wonderful trip down memory lane for anyone who is an Aretha fan.

“We start in the 1960s, where Aretha’s career began, taking you on an intimate musical odyssey through her life,“ Monique said.

“The 1960s was all jazz and blues, the 1970s with disco, and 1980s with pop. Aretha constantly reinvented herself which is why she had career spanning over 50 years.”

Joining Angie on stage are performers Gideon Mzembe, Shelley Davies and Asabi Goodman, together with an energetic band.

You can expect all your favourite hits like ‘Natural Woman’, ’Think’, ‘Say A Little Prayer’, ‘Son of a Preacher Man’, ‘Chain of Fools’ to name a few.

You can catch RESPECT at The J Noosa on Saturday 17 July at 2:00pm and 7:30pm. Tickets are available at TheJ.com.au or the Box Office on 07 5329 6560
