Aretha Franklin was born to sing. Aretha sang with a soaring voice that spanned more than three octaves. Her incredible talent and string of hit songs earned her the title 'the Queen of Soul.' This Queen was a multi-Grammy winner and the first female inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And there was even more to Aretha than being a singer, songwriter, and pianist: she was an activist, too. Her song 'Respect' was an anthem for people fighting for civil rights and women's rights.
