Did you know one singer’s voice became a roar for respect? Meet Aretha Franklin—the Queen of Soul!
Born in 1942 and rising to fame in the 1960s, Aretha Franklin used her amazing voice to sing blues, gospel, and soul that shook the world.
Her single most powerful moment? Recording “Respect” in 1967. Those four letters—R-E-S-P-E-C-T—became an anthem for civil rights and women’s empowerment.
Aretha won 18 Grammy Awards and was the first woman inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. Her voice still inspires us today to be proud and stand up for what’s right.
Aretha Franklin showed us that music can change hearts and history. Remember her roar whenever you say R-E-S-P-E-C-T!
