Ok so I'm listenin' to the Queen's Greatest Hits CD and in the intro to one of live performances this dude says something like she was a Washington DC schoolteacher but is better known as the Queen of Soul.

I was like WTF? When in the hell was Ree Ree a schoolteacher? I thought she was a superstar in her teens and has been performin' since then. Did this guy mix the Queen up with someone else?

Aretha was never a school teacher. He got it confused with singer Roberta Flack, whom at one time was a school teacher.

Yeah Roberta Flack.

Sting and J.T. Taylor from Kool & The Gang also started out as teachers.

Damn, I wonder if Aretha kicked his ass for getting her confused with Roberta Flack, like she did when Beyonce called Tina Turner the Queen at the Grammys a few years ago.
