Queen Of Soul Aretha Franklin

Sunday, June 25

Sunday on Soulsations hear “Rock Steady” a 1971 funky soul gem from Aretha Franklin.  The Queen of Soul recently took part in an inaugural Detroit Music Weekend festival with a street naming and a tribute concert as well as her own free headline show in downtown Detroit. The 75 year-old Franklin is working on a new album with Stevie Wonder, Elton John and Lionel Richie that she hopes to have out by January 2018.
