Overview

Her soulful, soaring voice has earned Aretha Franklin mythic status. Now, in her own moving words, the woman behind the myth is revealed in this captivating self-portrait of one of this century's most fascinating artists. Aretha tells her story -- the glorious triumphs as well as the heart-breaking pain. Aretha tells it like it is, the way she sees it, the way she lived it. We meet the characters who lit up her life: her charismatic father, the Rev. C. L. Franklin; Sam Cooke, the man of her dreams; her singing sisters, Erma & Carolyn, & her manager-brother, Cecil; & Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, the Temptations, Luther Vandross, & Luciano Pavarotti -- as well as her rivals. B&W photos.
