History of Soul

Aretha Franklin, born on March 25, 1942 in Memphis, Tennessee, was an American singer, pianist, and songwriter. Widely regarded as one of the best female vocalists of all time, she earned the nickname 'Queen of Soul'. In 1987, she became the first woman to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Aretha was the daughter of Reverend C.L. Franklin and sister to Carolyn Franklin, Erma Franklin, Vaughn Franklin, and Reverend Cecil Franklin. Her brother served as her business manager until his death in 1990. She had four sons: Clarence Franklin from Donald Burk; Edward Franklin from Edward Jordan; Teddy F. White (also known as Teddy Richards) when she was married to Ted White; and a Christian rap artist named Ken Cunningham.

Glynn Turman was Aretha's last husband before her passing on August 16th, 2018 at the age of 76 in Detroit, Michigan.

When Aretha Franklin passed away on August 16, 2018 we lost the Queen of Soul, acknowledged as the foremost female singer of her generation, someone who sold over 75 million records in her glittering career. The sadness that so many soul fans felt at that time was most acute knowing that we would never hear her beautiful voice on any new recordings. So it is with great pleasure that we present a live set from Aretha never before heard on a commercial CD. And it is with pride that we can say that the recordings, made in a TV studio in Cologne during her first European tour in 1968, are smack in the middle of soul’s Golden Age. The musical quality - the great artist at her peak – is so high that this issue can only enhance her reputation. This is prime Aretha Franklin – and soul music doesn’t get much better than this.
