New Urban Sounds- Remembering Aretha Franklin: Seminal Songs & Live Performances from An Illiustrious Career Spanning SIX Decades


In continuation with NUY 40 + 's weekend tribute to Aretha Franklin,  our NUY 40+ SOUNDS post for this week highlights some of the seminal songs and live performances in Ms. Franklin's globally renowned music catalog spanning six decades, with tunes we hope you know and love.   With  42 studio albums,  over a dozen live albums, and nearly 40 + compilation albums to her credit, it is impossible to capture the breadth and depth of her entire catalog here,  but we hope this mix of audio files, classic music videos, and rare live performances  curated here as a video tribute inspires your own trip down memory lane with The Queen of Soul - with the voice and music that has underscored not only black American life, but the lives of a young nation, and people around the world for over 60 years.

Happy Listening,  NUY Divas.  ❤️
