Aretha Franklin was dubbed as the Queen of Soul. What were some of the contributing factors of the spirit, fire, and audacity behind one of the greatest voices in history?
"Aretha Louise Franklin" was an American singer who started singing at a young age. In the 1960s, she was dubbed the "Queen of Soul." This came about because of some contributing factors such as the following:
Her father was very good in delivering sermons and this inspired her.
At the age of 12, she started joining the "gospel caravan tours."
Unlike other singers, her music had a soul and was full of emotions.
Besides this, she was also good at playing the piano. Her pieces were very inspirational.
Her musical intelligence was also one contributing factor why she was distinguished from the rest.
She can also move people to tears whenever she sings and she was successful in embodying the essence of the American life (particularly, the African-American) in her musical performance.
