With news that the "Queen of Soul", Aretha Franklin, has been hospitalized, let's look back at the video that introduced her to the MTV generation.
"Freeway of Love" was a single off Aretha's 1985 CD, "Who's Zoomin' Who", and, as shown in the video, sax ace Clarence Clemens, on loan from Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, is prominently featured, as are future American Idol judge Randy Jackson and co-author Narada Michael Walden is behind the drum kit.
"Freeway" topped the R & B chart, and peaked at #3 on the Hot 100, probably blocked by Madonna back then.....
