Aretha Franklin

Description

Lady Soul, Aretha Franklin is coming to DPAC, Durham Performing Arts Center on February 9, 2012 at 7:30 PM. 

In 1987, Aretha Franklin became the first woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This was a testament to her impact on the world of music over the course of her impressive career. From her roots, singing gospel in her father’s church, to her ascendancy to rhythm and blues royalty, Aretha has expressed an unmatched passion and intensity that has never failed to move her listeners. Her astonishing four-decade run of hits- "Respect," "I Never Loved a Man,", "Freeway of Love" and "Pink Cadillac"--earned her the title "Lady Soul," which she has worn uncontested ever since. She has amassed 18 competitive and 2 honorary GRAMMY© Awards and is ranked by Rolling Stone Magazine as the Greatest Singer of all Time.
