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!

📘✍Author by Cedric Williams
✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ 📙🖋On June 7, 1958, Rogers Nelson was born to African-American parents, John Lewis and Mattie Della Nelson, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His mother was jazz singer, and his father was pianist and songwriter. He had violent episodes when he was a young child. His parents motivated him to pursue music when he was a small child. 📣📕📗 He taught himself how to play the piano, guitar, and drums and created his first melody when he was seven. His parents divorced when he was ten, and the following several years were spent continually swapping houses, sometimes living with his father and occasionally with his mother. 📣📕📗 When he was 14 years old, he started his first band, Grand Central (later known as Champagne). Prince was created to transform both music and the world. The perfect showman famed for his sexual shows and musical brilliance has forever changed the music business. Few guys could pull off what Prince achieved, pacing the stage in high-heeled boots and clothes with Edwardian styling that enthralled the crowd. He said that he made an effort to be "as flashy and noisy" as he could to make up for a tough childhood. 📣📕📗 The lyrics to legendary performers like James Brown and Aretha Franklin were hurriedly copied down by Prince when he was still a teenager in the basement studio of a nearby DJ. He soon started penning his own songs and developing his vocal abilities. ⭐️⭐️⭐️by Cedric Williams (Author) 💗💖" 🛒👉Available Instantly on Amazon – eBook and Paperback Order Now: The Purple Driven Life:- https://a.co/d/eHc3CeW 📣📕📗

ARETHA FRANKLIN
ARETHA FRANKLIN
1942-2018
QUEEN OF SOUL
            Aretha Franklin was born at her family home in Memphis, Tennessee, US. Her father was a Baptist minister and preacher who became wealthy and well-known. In 1979, her father was shot by burglars, fell into a coma and died. Her mother was a piano player and vocalist who inspired her musically. Her mother died in 1952 just before Franklin turned 10 years-old. Franklin was looked after by numerous members of the family and learned how to play the piano from an early age.
            At the age of 14, Franklin was singing gospels in churches and was just a teenager at the time of her first recording. In the 1960s she mixed gospel, blues, with pop music and became successful in the charts with her song ‘Respect’ (1965). Her first single, ‘I never loved a man (the way I love you)’ gained her instant fame. In 1968 she sang at Martin Luther King Jr’s funeral. In 1980 she appeared in The Blues Brothers (1980) and in 1985 she paired up with Annie Lennox to sing ‘Sisters Are Doin’ It for Themselves’ (1985).
            Franklin was married twice and had four children. She first became pregnant aged 12 and had her second child when she was 15, fathered by Edward Jordan who we know very little about. The children took her surname and Franklin wrote in her Will that Jordan should receive absolutely nothing and underlined this twice. She was married at the age of 18, and endured abuse from her first husband; she married her second husband in 1978 which ended up in divorce in 1984. Franklin lived in Detroit as well as Los Angeles. She wouldn’t perform overseas due to a fear of flying after going through a bad experience on a small plane due to turbulence in 1984.
            Franklin was involved in movements such as civil rights, rights for Native Americans as well as the rights for women.
            Franklin struggled with her weight during her life time; she used to be a chain smoker and struggled with alcohol. In 2013, she cancelled performances due to health problems and after treatment she continued to perform in 2013 and stopped touring in 2017. Franklin died on 16 August 2018, aged 76, from pancreatic cancer. She was interred at Woodlawn Cemetery, Detroit.
