Aretha Franklin the Queen of Soul Obituary

Here's space to remember, honor and pay tribute to "the Queen of Soul."

Aretha Franklin (1942 – 2018) was affectionately called “the Queen of Soul.” Blessed with an incredible voice, she was a giant of soul music. Franklin’s signature song was her version of Otis Redding’s “Respect,” released in 1967. Her many hit songs included “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Women,” “Freeway of Love,” and “Rock Steady.”

We invite you to light a candle in her memory, or share a condolence for Aretha Franklin in the Guest Book section.
