Royal rock/pop/soul nicknames.... Here's what I've come up with... I'm sure there are more:
James Brown -- The Godfather Of Soul Aretha Franklin -- Queen Of Soul Elvis Presley -- The King Of Rock 'n' Roll Michael Jackson -- King Of Pop Madonna -- Queen Of Pop (not used reguarly, but i've seen it creeping into articles in the last few years) David Bowie -- The Thin White Duke Elton John -- The Queen Of England 
Prince -- His Royal Bandess... and I've seen His Purple Highness before as well. any others? surprised people like Cher, Tina Turner, Ray Charles, and other old people haven't had the press or their PR people bestow them with royal monikers.
