Loretta on Natural Woman

Loretta Chandler stated that growing up she wasn't very aware of Aretha Franklin's version of "Natural Woman"'. So interpreted the song in her own way when it was filmed for the Season 5 episode "Selling Out". When the producers heard it they commented "Oh you're doing it like that!" which concerned her that it wasn't what they wanted.

She also stated:

"Fame" gave me an incredible opportunity to pay tribute the "Queen of Soul" Aretha Franklin singing "Natural Woman". I remember Debbie letting me know how much she pushed for them to create nice gowns for me. She's amazing! The outfit and jewelry was too! All the people who worked so hard to put the productions together... "
