Happy Birthday Aretha Franklin

Happy Birthday Aretha Franklin, Queen of Soul, Still Reigning

by Roger Friedman

It’s Aretha Franklin’s birthday. She’s got a party in New York tonight, and then two dates in the tri-state area. She is still the Queen of Soul, with a catalog that shows her immense range and diversity as the greatest singer of our time. No one comes close to matching Franklin’s tone and delivery although there some amazing singers out there. No one working today will ever match what Franklin’s done in part because they simply don’t have the songs, the hits, the arrangements. There’s no “Respect” for Beyonce, or any of the others. How many of Aretha’s records just make you want to start dancing in your car, in your seat, down an aisle in the grocery store?

Happy, Happy 70th B-Day ReRe..I saw the Birthday Bash Pics and she's looking Good & Happy..

RnBAmbassador....If you're constantly having to convince people ReRe is the Queen and who she's better than & who isnt better than her, then you've LOST sight of who Aretha is as an Icon and American Treasure...

Let that go and just wish the woman a Happy B-Day...

^ I dont see a problem with what the poster said. Pointing out that there is never going to be another Aretha Franklin and acknowleding her accomplishments is not losing sight of anything.

Happy Birthday to the QUEEN cool

I guess you are referring to journalist Roger Friedman, the article is his. I just copied and pasted it and the link. WTF?


BTW, ARETHA FRANKLIN IS THE QUEEN OF SOUL!

71 years old... and still working at a good pace. Most legends her age don't make it that long. God bless her.
