Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin was an American singer, songwriter and pianist. She's often referred to as the "Queen of Soul". Rolling Stone magazine has twice named her as the greatest singer of all time. She was born 25th March 1942, Memphis, Tennessee, US. She died on the 16th August 2018 of pancreatic cancer.

She got pregnant at the age of twelve, giving birth to a son who she named Clarence, after her father. She had sons later on. She got into singing through gospel music alongside her father. Famous songs by her are A Natural Woman, Respect, Chain of Fools, Ain't No Way, Say a Little Prayer, and Think, along with many others.

I drew this picture of her from a photo when she was young.

Today In History Aretha Franklin, the “Queen of Soul,” was born in Memphis, TN, on this date March 25, 1942. Universally acclaimed as one of America’s greatest singers in any style, Ms. Franklin brought the righteous fervor of gospel music to secular songs that were about much more than romance. Hits like “Do Right Woman — Do Right Man,” “Think,” “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” and “Chain of Fools” defined a modern female archetype: sensual and strong, long-suffering but ultimately indomitable, loving but not to be taken for granted. When Aretha Franklin sang “Respect,” the Otis Redding song that became her signature, it was never just about how a woman wanted to be greeted by a spouse coming home from work. It was a demand for equality and freedom and a harbinger of feminism, carried by a voice that would accept nothing less.

Recently, Nick Jr. uploaded a "Sing our Song" video that celebrates Aretha Franklin, an American singer, songwriter and pianist. Many Nick Jr. stars were featured in the video, including Marshall, who ended up getting quite a few lines and even got his turn to describe one of Ms. Franklin's accomplishments! How awesome! 😁

Of course, I can't resist posting some pics!

You can watch the video here.
