Born on March 25, 1942, it could be said of Aretha Franklin that music was woven into the fabric of her being.
Not only was her birthplace — Memphis, Tennessee — one of the most important cities in the history of blues and rock ‘n’ roll, but her father, C. L., was a Baptist minister and gospel singer is known nationwide as “The Man with the Million-Dollar Voice.” He moved the family to Detroit — another musical hotbed — in 1944.
 
 
Aretha’s mother, Barbara, was a singer as well. By the middle of the 1950s, Aretha had learned to play piano and, along with her sisters, was singing in her father’s church choir.
 
She also toured the gospel circuit with C. L. during this time and became acquainted with the likes of Clara Ward, Mahalia Jackson and Smokey Robinson, as well as civil rights figures such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Jesse Jackson, who were among her well-connected family’s many notable friends.
