The Story of the Songs

Aretha Franklin  |  Season 1  |  Episode 7  |  SBS

The life and times of Aretha Franklin, who came to fame with the classic Respect. Franklin delivered an anthemic soundtrack signalling a time of great cultural change in 1960s America. In 1968, she effortlessly built on her gospel foundation and crossed over into soul, with her sublime rendition of I Say a Little Prayer. The 1980s marked a significant change for Franklin's sound, starting the decade with a bang this time with empowering feminist pop classic Sisters Are Doing It for Themselves.
