Aretha Franklin Remembered; Rhythm, Love and Soul; Soul Rewind Vol. 2 (3-DVD Set)
From her youthful gospel singing in the Detroit church, Aretha Franklin was destined for a life-long legacy of song. Expanding into popular music in the early 1960s, Aretha quickly earned the title Queen of Soul as she enjoyed a succession of massive hit records, many of which crossed over onto Top 40 rock stations. Songs such as “Respect,” “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” and “Chain of Fools” helped Aretha become a household name.Over her long and illustrious career, Aretha Franklin earned an impressive 18 Grammy Awards for recording excellence in addition to being the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Franklin was a presence on television in both the United States and in Europe. Specially selected performances from the best of her appearances — many of which have never been seen in America — are featured in this retrospective along with heartfelt remembrances from Aretha’s friends and colleagues Smokey Robinson, Clive Davis, Mary Wilson, and others.Ru
