Aretha Louise Franklin, born in Memphis in 1942, is a central figure in soul, R&B, and gospel music. Known as "Lady Soul" or "Queen of Soul," her influence on contemporary music is notable. In the mid-1960s, she established herself as a soul star, using her platform to advocate for racial rights in the United States and the women's liberation movement. In 1987, Franklin made history by being the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Rolling Stone magazine has recognized her on two occasions: it ranked her first on its list of the 100 greatest singers of all time and ninth on its ranking of the 100 great artists.
