“Aretha Franklin’s career spanned five decades, and she also was the first female performer inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. She’s had more than 100 singles that have reached the Billboard charts, and 17 of them have been top 10 singles. She’s won an impressive 18 Grammys, has sold more than 75 million albums, and she’s one of the most influential voices ever, inspiring and paving the way for acts such as Beyoncé, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.”
