Hello, Aretha Fans,

There is a new book coming out soon entitled "Songbirds, Greatest Female Singers of Our Time." Guess where The Queen resides on the list? I am the author. I will let you know when it is released.

Here is an excerpt:

Aretha Louise Franklin was born on March 25, 1942, in Memphis, Tennessee. Captivating listeners with her powerful vocals, Aretha was referred to as the “Queen of Soul.” She has sold more than 75 million records, including favorites “Respect” and “I Say a Little Prayer.”
Said fellow singer Mary J. Blige, “Aretha is a gift from God. When it comes to expressing yourself through song, there is no one who can touch her. She is the reason why women want to sing. Aretha has everything – the power, the technique. She is honest with everything she says.”
