Dear Donna,
I hope this letter finds you in good health and I hope you are doing really well. I have been extremely busy with my college classes and a lot of work is still to be done in that regard. Time for me is very precious right now however I cannot wait to be meeting you for your birthday next month and also I hope you write back to me really soon. As we were discussing the other day about Aretha Franklin it took me back to this video (link: https:
youtu.be/6FOUqQt3Kg0) where her original songs are shared (Denise). I hope you would take a look at the same and get back to me about great she sounds even without no knowledge of the fact that she had on Fe

One of her most beloved songs was ‘Today I Sing the Blues’ which is still considered a classic. She was however not so much known as a crossover artist and had a hard time getting success at that.
Columbia Records made a lot of sings featuring her as an artist that catered both to teenagers and adults. She claimed to have a fear of flying and hence could not do shows a
oad which may have been why she did not enjoy much success as a crossover artist (Dargis). In 2021 a novel movie by the name of ‘Respect’ which stars Jennifer Hudson takes on to be exploring Aretha Franklin and her rise to fame that also involved time away from the stage and with her children. Aretha seems to have had 4 children namely Ted White Jr (Teddy Richards), Clarence, Edward along with Kecalf Cunningham (Pinke). Her eldest son known as Clarence Franklin was birthed when she was just f the mere age of 12. This child had been named after his biological father who was one of her classmates as assumed by many and her biographer...
