Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin, the Legendary Queen of Soul, Performs Live

Imagine a world without Aretha Franklin. There would be no "Chain of Fools," no "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman," no R-E-S-P-E-C-T. There would be no Whitney, no Adele, no one to sing at President Obama's inauguration, giving voice to the hopes of a whole nation. Luckily, Aretha has been making music for more than 50 years, and now you can hear the voice that changed American music forever perform live at Oracle Arena. Many singers go by only one name, even more style themselves "legends" -- but Aretha is the genuine article, a talent so profoundly influential that it's hard to imagine the world without her.
