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.

Rough Trade Essential

Aretha's Franklin's position as soul music's premier female vocalist was consolidated by this album. Her strident reading of Don Covay's Chain of Fools set the tone for a collection on which the singer unveiled several stellar original compositions and reinterpreted a batch of classic songs. Franklin's gospel roots were clearly displayed on the anthem-like People get ready while her interpretation of Natural Woman showed both vulnerable and assertive qualities. Lady Soul captures a performer at the peak of her power, restating her ability to take material and make it uniquely her own.
