Aretha Franklin begain life as the golden daughter of a progressive
and promiscuous Baptist preacher. Raised without her mother, she
was a gospel prodigy who have birth to two sons in her teens and
left them and her native Detriot for New York, where she struggled
to find her true voice. It was not until 1967, when a white Jewish
producer insisted she return to her gospel-soul roots, that fame
and fortune finally came via 'Respect' and a rapidfire string of
hits. She has evolved ever since, amidst personal tragedy, surprise
Grammy performances and career reinventions. Again and again,
Aretha stubbornly finds a way to triumph over troubles, even as
they continue to build. Her hold on the crown is tenacious, and in
RESPECT, David Ritz gives us the definitive life of one of the
greatest talents in all American culture.
