Relive when Aretha guested on “Murphy Brown”
The year was 1991 and it was season four of TV’s Murphy Brown.
Superfan Murphy Brown (Candice Bergen) had found comfort in “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” no less than three times during the original run of the sitcom.
The most memorable of those featured Ms. Franklin herself, who gave a gorgeous performance while accompanying herself on the piano in the episode titled “The Queen of Soul.” The moment was equal parts moving and playful, with the singer chastising Murphy for attempting to sing along with her: “Let’s get one thing straight: I’m not Martha, and you ain’t no Vandella.”
Enjoy!
