‘Queen of Soul’ Aretha Franklin
left legacy of music, activism
By MESFIN FEKADU AND
HILLEL ITALIE
AP Entertainment Writers
NEW YORK — Are-
tha Franklin, the undisputed
“Queen of Soul” who sang
with matchless style on such
classics as “Think,” “I Say
a Little Prayer” and her sig-
nature song, “Respect,”
and stood as a cultural icon
around the globe, has died
from pancreatic cancer. She
was 76.
Publicist
Gwendolyn
Quinn told The Associ-
ated Press through a family
statement that Franklin died
Thursday at 9:50 a.m. at her
home in Detroit.
A professional singer and
pianist by her late teens, a
superstar by her mid-20s,
Franklin had long ago settled
any arguments over who was
the greatest popular vocal-
ist of her time. Her gifts, nat-
ural and acquired, were a
multi-octave mezzo-soprano,
gospel passion and train-
ing worthy of a preacher’s
daughter, taste sophisticated
and eccentric, and the cour-
age to channel private pain
into liberating song.
She recorded hundreds
of tracks and had dozens of
hits over the span of a half
century, including 20 that
reached No. 1 on the R&B
charts. But her reputation
was defined by an extraordi-
nary run of top 10 smashes
in the late 1960s, from
the morning-after bliss of
“(You Make Me Feel Like)
A Natural Woman,” to the
wised-up “Chain of Fools”
to her unstoppable call for
“Respect.”
The
music
industry
couldn’t honor her enough.
Franklin won 18 Grammy
awards. In 1987, she became
the first woman inducted into
the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame.
Fellow singers bowed to
her eminence and political
and civic leaders treated her
as a peer. The Rev. Martin
Luther King Jr. was a long-
time friend, and she sang
at the dedication of King’s
memorial, in 2011. She per-
formed at the inaugura-
tions of Presidents Bill Clin-
ton and Jimmy Carter, and
at the funeral for civil rights
pioneer Rosa Parks. Clinton
gave Franklin the National
Medal of Arts. President
George W. Bush awarded
her the Presidential Medal of
Freedom, the nation’s high-
est civilian honor, in 2005.
Franklin’s
best-known
appearance with a president
was in January 2009, when
she sang “My Country ‘tis
of Thee” at Barack Obama’s
inauguration. She wore a
gray felt hat with a huge,
Swarovski rhinestone-bor-
dered bow that became an
Internet sensation and even
had its own website.
Franklin endured the
exhausting grind of celebrity
and personal troubles dating
back to childhood. She was
married from 1961 to 1969
to her manager, Ted White,
and their battles are widely
believed to have inspired
her performances on sev-
eral songs, including “(Sweet
Sweet Baby) Since You’ve
Been Gone,” “Think” and
her heartbreaking ballad of
despair, “Ain’t No Way.”

age 16 (she later had two

Reaction to Aretha
Franklin’s death
“Through her compositions and unmatched musician-
ship, Aretha helped define the American experience. In
her voice, we could feel our history, all of it and in every
shade our power and our pain, our darkness and our light,
our quest for redemption and our hard-won respect. She
helped us feel more connected to each other, more hope-
ful, more human. And sometimes she helped us just for-
get about everything else and dance.” — Barack and
Michelle Obama, in a statement.
“This morning my longest friend in this world went
home to be with our father. I will miss her so much but I
know she’s at peace.” — Smokey Robinson
“Aretha Franklin. The Queen of Soul. The Icon. The
ultimate singers’ singer. The greatest singer and musician
of my lifetime. The power of your voice in music and in
civil rights blew open the door for me and so many oth-
ers. You were my inspiration, my mentor and my friend.”
— Mariah Carey, via Twitter
“I can’t remember a day of my life without Are-
tha Franklin’s voice and music filling up my heart with
so much joy and sadness. Absolutely heartbroken she’s
gone, what a woman. Thank you for everything, the mel-
odies and the movements.” — Adele, via Instagram
more), she was often in tur-
moil as she struggled with
her weight, family problems
and financial predicaments.
Her best known producer,
Jerry Wexler, nicknamed her
“Our Lady of Mysterious
Sorrows.”
Despite growing up
in Detroit, and having
Smokey Robinson as a
childhood friend, Franklin
never recorded for Motown
Records; stints with Colum-
bia and Arista were sand-
wiched around her prime
years with Atlantic Records.
But it was at Detroit’s New
Bethel Baptist Church,
where her father was pastor,
that Franklin learned the gos-
pel fundamentals that would
make her a soul institution.
Aretha Louise Franklin
was born March 25, 1942,
in Memphis, Tennessee.
The Rev. C.L. Franklin soon
moved his family to Buffalo,
New York, then to Detroit.
C.L. Franklin was among the
most prominent Baptist min-
isters of his time. Music was
the family business and per-
formers from Sam Cooke to
Lou Rawls were guests at the
Franklin house. In the living
room, young Aretha awed
Robinson and other friends
with her playing on the grand
piano.
Franklin was in her early
teens when she began tour-
ing with her father, and she
released a gospel album in
1956 through J-V-B Records.
Four years later, she signed
with Columbia Records pro-
ducer John Hammond, who
called Franklin the most
exciting singer he had heard
since a vocalist he promoted
decades earlier, Billie Holi-
day. Franklin knew Motown
founder Berry Gordy Jr. and
considered joining his label,
but decided it was just a local
company at the time.
Franklin recorded sev-
eral albums for Columbia
Records over the next six
years. She had a handful of
minor hits, including “Rock-
A-Bye Your Baby With a
Dixie Melody” and “Run-
nin’ Out of Fools,” but never
quite caught on as the label
tried to fit into her a variety
of styles, from jazz and show
songs to such pop numbers
as “Mockingbird.” Franklin
jumped to Atlantic Records
when her contract ran out, in
1966.
“But the years at Colum-
bia also taught her several
important things,” critic Rus-
sell Gersten later wrote. “She
worked hard at controlling
and modulating her phras-
ing, giving her a discipline
that most other soul sing-
ers lacked. She also devel-
oped a versatility with main-
stream music that gave her
later albums a breadth that
was lacking on Motown LPs
from the same period.
“Most important, she
learned what she didn’t like:
to do what she was told to
do.”
At
Atlantic,
Wex-
ler teamed her with vet-
eran R&B musicians from
FAME Studios in Muscle
Shoals, and the result was a
tougher, soulful sound, with
call-and-response
vocals
and Franklin’s gospel-style
piano, which anchored “I
Say a Little Prayer,” “Natural
Woman” and others.
Of Franklin’s dozens of
hits, none was linked more
firmly to her than the funky,
horn-led march “Respect”
and its spelled out demand
for “R-E-S-P-E-C-T.”
Writing in Rolling Stone
magazine in 2004, Wex-
ler said: “It was an appeal
for dignity combined with
a blatant lubricity. There
are songs that are a call to
action. There are love songs.
There are sex songs. But it’s
hard to think of another song
where all those elements are
combined.”
Franklin had decided she
wanted to “embellish” the
R&B song written by Otis
Redding, whose version had
been a modest hit in 1965.
“When she walked into
the studio, it was already
worked out in her head,” the
producer wrote. “Otis came
up to my office right before
‘Respect’ was released, and I
played him the tape. He said,
‘She done took my song.’ He
said it benignly and ruefully.
He knew the identity of the
song was slipping away from
him to her.”
In a 2004 interview with
the St. Petersburg (Fla.)
Times, Franklin was asked
whether she sensed in the
‘60s that she was helping
change popular music.
“Somewhat,
certainly
with ‘Respect,’ that was a
battle cry for freedom and
many people of many ethnic-
ities took pride in that word,”
