Reine de la Soul, Aretha Franklin fut sans doute plus encore : la Reine des Chanteuses Américaines, un titre très disputé auquel son impressionnante discographie peut aisément prétendre. Ce double album contient les six premières années de ses enregistrements où, de vedette surdouée du gospel à quatorze ans, elle devint l’une des plus extraordinaires vocalistes de l’histoire avec l’intensité des renversants « Today I Sing the Blues » ou « Maybe I’m a Fool ». Bruno Blum raconte ici son histoire.
Patrick FRÉMEAUX
« Aretha a contribué à définir l’expérience américaine. Dans sa voix on a pu ressentir notre histoire, toute notre histoire et dans toutes ses nuances — notre puissance et notre douleur, notre noirceur et notre lumière, notre quête pour la rédemption et notre respect durement gagné. Que la Reine de la Soul repose en paix éternellement. »
Barack OBAMA

Aretha Franklin was the Queen of Soul and probably much more: the Queen of American singers, a much- disputed title her impressive discography can easily claim. This double album includes the first six years of her recordings, going forward from her beginnings as an exceptionally gifted gospel singer aged fourteen. She went on to become one of the most extraordinary vocalists in music history, thanks to the intensity of astounding recordings like “Today I Sing the Blues” or “Maybe I’m a Fool.” Bruno Blum tells her story. Patrick FRÉMEAUX
“Aretha helped define the American experience. In her voice, we could feel our history, all of it and in every shade — our power and our pain, our darkness and our light, our quest for redemption and our hard-won respect. May the Queen of Soul rest in eternal peace.” Barack OBAMA
