Aretha Franklin is the epitome of Soul. She is the Queen of Soul. And for that she deserves our r-e-s-p-e-c-t. Known for Soul classics like “Chain of Fools” and “Think,” her roots are in Gospel music. She displayed her great singing voice as a member of the Detroit church where her father preached. In 1965 Checker Records released the album, “Songs of Faith,” by Aretha Franklin. A copy can get you $200.00 today.
