Aretha
Franklin, who died at
her home in Detroit, had
moved to the city from
Tennessee as a young
child.
“She was just special
and she always came
home and she always
gave back,” Pullin said.
“She really, really always
loved Detroit.”
The feeling was mutu-
al. Franklin is so beloved
in Detroit that not one,
but two streets bear her
name.
“Few people in the
history of our city have
been as universally
loved or left as indelible
a mark as Aretha,” May-
or Mike Duggan said in
a statement. “From the
time her father gave Are-
tha her start in the New
Bethel choir, it was clear
to everyone how special
she was. She was a per-
former without peers.
Throughout her extraor-
dinary life and career,
she earned the love —
and yes, the respect — of
millions of people, not
just for herself and for
women everywhere, but
for the city she loved so
dearly and called home.”
In 2010, she and former
U.S. Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice per-
formed a duet at Phila-
delphia’s Mann Music
Center to raise money
for urban children and
awareness for music
and the arts. “It is a joint
effort for the inner-city
youth of Philadelphia
and Detroit,” Franklin
said at the time.
She also worked with
the United Negro College
Fund and in 2005 held a
party in the Detroit area
for dozens of people dis-
placed by Hurricane Ka-
trina.
“Detroiters
realize
how deeply I appreciate
the city in which I was
raised,” Franklin wrote
in her 1999 autobiogra-
phy, “Aretha: From These
Roots.”
She continued, “And it
is in Detroit that I contin-
ue to cultivate my career;

Various Aretha Franklin compact discs are shown while being played
outside New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit, Thursday, Aug. 16,
2018. Aretha Franklin, the undisputed “Queen of Soul” who sang with
matchless style on such classics as “Think,” ‘’I Say a Little Prayer” and
her signature song, “Respect,” and stood as a cultural icon around the
globe, died Thursday at age 76 from pancreatic cancer. C.L. Franklin,
her father, had been pastor at the church that Franklin learned the
gospel fundamentals that would make her a soul institution.
it is to Detroit that I direct
most of my charitable ac-
tivities; and it is from De-
troit that I receive much
love and support, which
I reciprocate.”
Abdul “Duke” Fakir,
the lone surviving orig-
inal member of the Four
Tops, told the AP earlier
in the week about a re-
cent conversation they
had about the city.
“She was telling me she
rides around the city ev-
ery now and then — she
talks about how beauti-
ful it is again,” Fakir said.
Lisa McCall, whose
quarter-century career
working with Frank-
lin started at age 12 as a
dancer and continued for
many years as her main
choreographer,
said
Franklin was loyal to her
“camp,” many of whom
were from Detroit. They
had a two-hour conver-
sation when McCall was
diagnosed with breast
cancer 15 years ago, and
another heart-to-heart
came more recently.
“She heard I was ill and
she called me — she gave
me hope and inspired
me,” McCall said Thurs-
day, adding that she still
has the card that came
with a bouquet of flowers
Franklin had sent. “Then,
last year in the dress-
ing room she said, ‘Lisa,
you’ve been through this
— I hope I come out on
top like you.’ ... I knew
what she meant.”
McCall said Franklin
was an inspiration both
personally and pro-
fessionally. The singer
trusted the choreogra-
pher to assemble the
team of dancers and
make sure they were
ready to perform at ven-
ues across the country.
“I think that’s why I
always hire Detroit art-
ists — because of Aretha.
She kept Detroit artists
working,” McCall said.
“She always gave oppor-
tunities to Detroiters ...
because she said we have
great talent.
