Remembering Aretha Franklin – The New York Times
“Testing – can you hear me?” Aretha Franklin asks as she begins a 1968 performance of “Dr. Feelgood,” as seen in this remembrance from the New York Times. Jon Pareles, Time’s chief popular music critic, walks us through her remarkable career, which spanned five decades and symbolized immense cultural change. In the late 1960s, for instance, “Respect” became an anthem of the Civil Rights Movement; in 2009, she sang at President Obama’s inauguration. We heard you Aretha, we heard you.
