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; AP PHOTO/PAUL SANCYA cont’d from pg 9 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.
