RIP Queen Aretha I saw this scene as a child and I'll never forget it. Seeing Murphy's eyes light up as she met her hero and got to sing with her, seeing Aretha so happy to interact with a fan and do a show like this. She seemed absolutely lovely, and her impact on music will never be forgotten.
I had to find this clip for the EXACT same reason. This weekend, mourning her lost, I feel like Murphy Brown. Just excited to sing along and remember the true Queen of Soul. RIP
I like the scene in another episode when Candace was "spying" on Colleen Dewhurst (playing Murphy's mother) singing. The joy on Candace's face watching this amazing actor belt one out was sweet. Her face lights up watching her idols.
I remember the original airing of this episode. My mom practically laughed until she cried at Candice Bergen's awful singing. It must have been an utter joy to film this scene.
"Your self control was much better that time" LOL!!!! I thank God for RU-vid because I can see and hear the Queen in all of her greatness. R.I.P Queen we'll miss you terribly
Candace Bergen is not acting here--she is truly enamoured with this. R.I.P. Aretha. "Murphy" did sing this to her baby, Avery, and that was fun watching that.
Thought of this when I had heard of her passing....she had the most amazing singing AND acting chops ( The Blues Brother's too ) she could make you smile and bring you to tears with the beauty of her voice and soul. 👑💞RIP Aretha 💞👑
I never realised how good of an actor Aretha was. The appearances I’ve seen her in have been so natural especially when cameos can be so wooden. I’ll miss this woman but we will always have so many ways to carry on enjoying her many talents.
I attended a taping of Murphy Brown yesterday. This clip was played in tribute along with her music throughout the taping breaks. Faith Ford (Corky) was very emotional. It was touching.
Khalid al-Masri it’s actually not her virtuosity, which was surprising, but the rhythmic intensity and innovation. Not many people would play this the way she does.
Ive never seen this! I bet Candice Bergen was in Heaven to be in presence of an angel! Singing with Aretha...well, trying 😸 How wonderful that would be!!
I got to see Aretha Franklin after an exhibition football game. When people were leaving I just kept getting closer and closer to her stage. It was the greatest show. My husband said he came back for me but I never say him. (X husband now) so I stayed until the concert was over and damn wasn't it worth it. I went to the security office and one of the officers said he could take me home. It was a win win as far as I was concerned. I don't remember what time I got home but my x wanted to know when I was. I said where did you leave me you moron, I just went to see Aretha Franklin. She was awesome! I couldn't care less how I was going to get home, I was there for the most important part and that was all that mattered to me!
Aretha’s voice and piano skills were just pure MAGIC! She was absolutely mesmerizing! Such a beautiful, graceful lady too. Her talents extended well beyond music, she was also a great cook. I saw her making delicious food with Martha Stewart and Emiril Agassi. Rest in Heaven, Queen of Soul.
I know. I remember this. Candice, You deserve all of those Emmys, but don't show up at the Grammy's LOL. What a lady Aretha was! It looks as if Candice is almost crying. I ain't Martha and you ain't no Vandella.
Vincent!!! Get it straight!!! Carole didn't write this for Aretha!!! She sang it!!! And Aretha did so "AFTER" Carole!! no disrespect to Aretha because she bona fide this song!!! But it's about the facts!!!
No Telly, you get it right! Carole King has stated herself that it was the last song she co wrote with Gerry Goffin and Jerry Wexler and that they were asked to write it for Aretha by Jerry Wexler. Carole King sang it later on Tapestry.

My mom was one of Aretha Franklin biggest fan that she even looked like her. Now I know why she used to like to watch Murphy Brown back in the day. It was because of this episode with Aretha Franklin on it😄
Definitely one of my favorite TV moments! There was an emotional connection between Ms Aretha and Candace Bergen as Murphy Brown. It was funny. I got a kick out of when she first plays the piano and says , "ooh Steinway, fancy".
Murphy Brown Aretha Franklin this was King dream to see people from two different colors getting along as one. rest in peace Aretha Franklin and the whole world love you but Jesus love you best Emmett house
This was insanely funny. Aretha had that Mr. Rogers type patience with Murphy Brown’s singing along. Aretha looked adorable here, she sang and played the piano beautifully.
I forgotten this episode of Murphy Brown . I love the fact that she loved rhythm and blues Murphy a little soul sister God bless Aretha wish I could go to her services
I so remember this episode and wish I had a recorder back then I would have played it over and over...instead I had to be happy with my memory until youtube...yay for youtube!!!
