About this listen
Discover the remarkable life of Aretha Franklin...
Aretha Franklin stands out as an artist who not only sang beautifully but also lived life authentically by her own rules. She was not just a performer; she was a mesmerizing presence that seemed to speak directly to the soul. A mere glance from her seemed to exude the very essence of “Respect,” a word that became synonymous with her name and her stance in both her career and personal life. She was an undeniable icon, and her songs would become anthems of self-empowerment for millions.
But although her voice is known by many, her story is not. When Aretha commissioned a memoir of her life, it subtly navigated around many pivotal milestones. These included the heartbreaking loss of her mother at the age of 10, her first pregnancy at just 12, and her purported struggles with alcohol and food, painting a picture that, while authentic, only skimmed the surface of her complex life and experiences. This book attempts to rectify that by telling the full story of an American superstar gone supernova—Aretha Franklin.
