Happy Birthday Aretha Franklin (March 25)!
The voice is instantly recognizable for there is truly no other voice like it. A national treasure, a voice that has brought joy to countless millions the world over through a distinguished career filled with accomplishment and achievement. When you get right down to it, her appeal is – as it has always been – her ability to bring realness to each and every song she sings. Whether or not she has personally experienced the situations expressed in the material she chooses, Aretha can relate and for sure, so can the record buyers who have been enjoying the majesty of her talent time after time.
