A little more than three years ago, a publicist called to say Aretha Franklin wanted to be interviewed by me (I think they meant Variety but were trying to make me feel good about it) before her first L.A. show in 21 years (weblogs.variety.com...._franklin/)
It didn't matter that Variety didn't do profiles or concert previews or that Aretha's biographer David Ritz had told me that she is not very forthcoming. I figured, how often do I get a chance to speak with Aretha Franklin , the single greatest female voice of the rock 'n' roll era? (weblogs.variety.com...._franklin/)

Just the joy of the duet, the joy of meeting and getting to work with other artists that I would like to meet, which I don't often get a chance to do. Usually when I'm in concert it's an evening with Aretha, so I don't get a chance to meet and see a lot of other artists. Usually when I'm on, they're on. So it really was just the joy of getting to know them and then getting to the music (www.spinner.com....ens-crown/)
Let's be honest, Tina Turner , Beyonce, Whitney, Donna Summer , Janet Jackson . Lump em together and they don't equal one Aretha. (Note: this is not a fat joke). I would know; my ghost played with her often (see her splendid rendition of The Weight) (idolator.com....han-we-are)
@ lucasg Splendidly said! If Aretha's career had ended after "I Never Loved a Man The Way I Love You," she would still be the undisputed Queen of Soul (idolator.com....han-we-are)
Aretha Franklin was in a great mood, but she didn't have enough solos for herself. I know it was "duets," but Franklin only had one solo, her then current single, "Honey." Obviously, there wasn't a lot of rehearsal for the show, but Aretha is not used to singing with other people, especially those that can't keep up with her. She tended to "help" her partner along during all the duets. Gloria Estefan is so mechanical, she didn't realize that Aretha was trying to relate to her during their song together ("Alone in the Dark "). Rod Stewart was so intimidated by Franklin that he started acting like a haphazard rock star , jumping around and acting silly to make up for his nervousness. (www.lycos.com....nklin.html)
Aretha Franklin was born in Memphis in 1942, but spent most of her childhood in Detroit , where she learned to sing in her father's church.

Since then, Ms. Franklin has produced 52 albums and won 17 Grammy Awards, along with being the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. Aretha Franklin tickets take you on an in-person journey through her life, her influences and her music that has stayed popular for decades (www.lycos.com....nklin.html)

Beyonce said "The Queen" not "The Queen of Soul". and it doesn't matter that B said queen cause Aretha doesn't earn that title, shit her name ain't Elizabeth , in that case she'd have a right to be mad. and fat ass Aretha ain't mad when people call Mary J. queen cause she is "The Queen of RnB". maybe B meant "Queen of Rock n Roll" because they do sing 2 totally different styles of music. anyway, she maybe called "The Queen of Soul" but B may like Tina Turner 's style better than hers. i know that i prefer Natalie Cole , Diana Ross , Patti LaBelle, and Gladys Knight over Aretha 'fat-ass' Frankli (rhymeswithsnitch.blogspot.com....yonce.html)

This is the stupidest, most unfounded attack on Aretha Franklin I have ever seen. It made me sick to read it. Miss Franklin has more class in her left pinky fingernail than the author of this article has in his/her entire body. Franklin is a genius who has contributed enormously to this world. The author of this article is a nobody trying to make a name in the worst and most shameful manner possible (www.styledash.com....-franklin/)
To the author of this article,Aretha Franklin is not e-v-e-n worried about your comments.She has been here on this earth 65+ years and she has got her respect since making it to the big times.She has integrity,respect,and pride in herself.She doesn't need anyone to try and tell her what she needs.She has enough money to do what she wants or don't want to do. Believe me,what ever her weight is ,it's not any of your business.Age has a way of just making our bodies have a mind of it's own.Things don't snap back when we are older like it did when we were young.So I assume that you are not very old,because you made comments like this.But,one day you will be her age and there is something that is not going to be as perky and in shape for you either.Then what are you going to say then (www.styledash.com....-franklin/)
