“Being the Queen is not all about singing...it has much to do with your service to people. And your social contributions to your community and your civic contributions as well.”

Aretha Franklin

In her voice, we could feel our history. Aretha Franklin spent the turbulent 60s building her career, and in 1967 released “Respect”, her most famous song, and one that became inextricably linked to the civil rights and feminist movements of the time. Take a musical journey through the life of the anointed “Queen of Soul”.
