Rerun: Aretha Franklin

Today, we are here to give a little Respect to a queen we think you’re really going to love. No, not our usual kind of queen, but just as fascinating. She may not have had a coronation, but she is regal through and through. Of course, we’re talking about the one and only Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin. Her story is one of ups and downs and lots… and LOTS of Katy and Nathan singing off-key (since we are far too poor to afford the rights to the actual music) (guys, we’re really sorry). And what’s a good sing-along without a fancy cocktail? Nathan serves up some diva realness with a drink called The Soul Kiss Cocktail. This episode is a rerun from 2021. but is such an amazing story, we thought it stood the test of time. Some sources we used are: This Rolling Stone article was instrumental in writing this episode. This Pitchfork review gave us a lot of insight into some of Aretha’s lesser-known work. Wikipedia because we’re only humans with day-time jobs. Aretha singing at MLK’s funeral. Thanks HelloFresh!
