(Born 25th March 1942 in Memphis, Tennessee) The fate of gospel music was forever altered in 1956 when a 14-year-old choir girl named Aretha first belted out "Precious Lord" for a congregation of 4,500 at Detroit's New Bethel Baptist Church. What followed this conception of the legendary "Lady Soul" is nothing short of amazing grace -- more than a dozen million-selling singles, 20 No. 1 R&B hits, a cover story in Time, a civil rights award from Martin Luther King Jr., a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, 15 Grammys (including a lifetime achievement award in 1995) and a role alongside John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd in the cinematic jewel,The Blues Brothers.

At present, together with two colleagues of mine, I am writing a book on African-American personalities in the fields of literature, music, and sports. My passion for African-Americans started in 1994, when I visited the University of Columbia, Missouri, as an exchange professor. My doctoral dissertation is on Alice Walker. And I also have in view to write (together with my ex-professor and his daughter) a second volume about African-American personalities in the fields of politics, arts and film. What do you say? Is it a good ideea? I'm looking forward to hearing some 'encouragements'from you, just in case you can afford waisting time for sending mails to your fans.All the best and I hope to keep in touch...my "Soul Lady"! FAVORITE SONG | Reviewer: Beverly Nelson ------ About the song Ain't No Way performed by Aretha Franklin This song continues to be my favorite song by my favorite artist. I was very young when I first heard it and it ministered to my heart. I didn't understand why until I became an adult. If you think this one is good, listen to "I can't see myself leaving you." These songs were made during the 60's and 70's and this is when she did her best work. Most of the songs she released were about pain and we all knew that pain too well. I played this song over and over again until I worked it out. I bet you did too. Aretha is and will always be the queen of soul to me. i love you | Reviewer: alena ------ About artist/band Aretha Franklin dear aretha franklin i love you. im only 11 years old, and the first song i heard from you i loved alot. im not the only one in my family who loves you my mom does too!! i would love to meet you one day!! your num. one fan alena Whom? | Reviewer: luvabaker ------ About the song Who's Zoomin' Who performed by Aretha Franklin I always thought she was saying "Who's whomin whom?" as in who's telling whom to use the word whom over who. Ha? Anywhoms...I belive Anita Baker could pull this song off with great finesse. She would make sound like pure milk chocolate and velvet landscapes. Her signature jerky dance moves would add her unique mysterious quality to the song. I am going to write to her and request that she do this tune. you should do the smae if you agree with me. Hi Aretha =) | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band Aretha Franklin I just believe that Aretha did not have the perfect life, but that is a (Phononmanal Woman)*.
