Aretha Franklin's career was marked by numerous milestones that showcased her talent and influence. Born in 1942, Franklin began singing in her father's church, quickly
gaining recognition for her vocal prowess. Her breakthrough came in the 1960s with hits like 'Respect' and 'Chain of Fools,' which solidified her status as the 'Queen of Soul.' In 2005, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and in 2010, she received an honorary doctorate from Yale University. Franklin's posthumous induction into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 2020 and the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2012 further underscored her lasting impact on music and culture.
