Aretha Franklin is a musical and cultural icon who created an
amazing legacy spanning six decades! Born in Memphis, Tennessee, in
1942, Aretha got her start singing in front of her father's Baptist
congregation and found minor success as a gospel singer. She then
set her sights on becoming a pop music artist and used her powerful
voice and impressive skills on the piano to get a record deal.
Aretha released her first of many celebrated albums at the age of
18. In 1987, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
making her the first female artist to grace the prestigious list.
With iconic hits such as "Respect" and "Think," and countless
awards to her name including eighteen Grammys, Aretha Franklin is
one of the bestselling artists of all time.

Before there was hip hop, there was DJ Kool Herc.
On a hot day at the end of summer in 1973 Cindy Campbell threw a
back-to-school party at a park in the South Bronx. Her brother,
Clive Campbell, spun the records. He had a new way of playing the
music to make the breaks--the musical interludes between
verses--longer for dancing. He called himself DJ Kool Herc and this
is "When the Beat Was Born." From his childhood in Jamaica to his
youth in the Bronx, Laban Carrick Hill's book tells how Kool Herc
came to be a DJ, how kids in gangs stopped fighting in order to
breakdance, and how the music he invented went on to define a
culture and transform the world.
