Aretha Franklin is as real as it gets.  She put everything she has been through into her music.  Franklin was born on March 25, 1942 in Memphis, Tennessee.
 

When Aretha was 2, her family moved to Buffalo, New York and when she was 5 they moved to Detroit, Michigan, where she grew up.  Sadly, Aretha’s mother died when Aretha was 9-years-old.

Franklin was born to be a singer.  Her mother played the piano but that’s not how Franklin learned to play.  Aretha learned to play the piano by ear after her mother passed away.
