This "comprehensive and illuminating" biography of Aretha Franklin, titled "Respect," delves into the life of the Queen of Soul, tracing her journey from the daughter of a progressive Baptist preacher to a gospel prodigy overcoming personal challenges. Despite early struggles in New York, it was a return to her roots that led to her breakout hit "Respect" in 1967, launching her into a remarkable career filled with reinventions and triumphs. David Ritz offers an insightful portrait of Franklin's complex life and enduring legacy as one of America's greatest musical talents.
