The 2003 BET Walk of Fame honoring Aretha.

Aretha had been sitting in the place where it was held for two hours while people like Mary J. Blige and the Isley Brothers serenading her.

When Aretha finally took the stage (now remember it was hot inside), she did, I believe, three numbers, she did "Respect" and then did one of her early R&B hits, "Today I Sung the Blues", the moment it got to the end is when she starts doing what you see in the clip and then takes the weave off!

She then went on to finish with a gospel song.

Aretha has been known to flip her weaves off at concerts.

You have to watch the entire vid, it's funny, just wait until she gets to the end of "Today I Sung the Blues".

You saw the Clark Sisters' one.

Dude did Twinkie, Karen, Dorinda and Jacky. Did them nearly perfect too.

Timmy84 said:

you bet your life i did
you know when she started moving slowly to the side i truly believed she was on her way to pick up the hair and put it back on

i also loved how she forgot about the strap of her dress falling off her shoulder the whole time bless her heart. she really did take me to church

oh and i almost forget, check out the dude nodding his head at exactly 7:00 (front seat)

that bastard is the reason i've never been able to hear them again without busting out laughing the moment they open their mouth

PricelessHo said:

Yeah I saw him. Comedy. That's why I love Aretha and Patti, they don't give a fuck. You can tell if they were still just gospel singers, they'd be like the Clark Sisters are now, hell they influenced the Clark Sisters!

PricelessHo said:

They do be having the tendency to "act a fool" when they sing. You see the other gospel ladies be looking at 'em like "mmm-mmm-mmm " Especially the elder gospel ladies like Dorothy Norwood and Shirley Caesar.

Timmy84 said:

goddammit i'm sweating my face off from all the laughing here

Timmy84 said:

Yes, I did.
