As in life, strange things occur and Franklin migrated to Muscls Shoals Alabama. Maybe those damn racists could do something with her. Well, yes. 5 White guys were her band and Aretha released her first big hit. Many more were to follow and the legend of Muscle Shoals was born. Muscle Shoals was revered as "Hitsville" and if you lucky enough to get in you were money in the bank.

You never miss a f...ing beat do you, your warped view of the world permeates just about every post you make..
Another effort of revisionist history, the facts are that many people could not understand her music with was laced with gospel influence, Atlantic sent her to Muscle Shoals so they could work with her, there she did some very good work.. whether or not it was due to her time at Muscle Shoals o she became a musical star and a civil rights icon as well...
If you step away from your whitewashed view of how the world works, she released RESPECT in 1967 and for many that became an anthem not only for civil rights but for feminists as well.. It was one of the songs that galvanized several movements. It was not a coquettish version asking her man to let her be an equal, it was a loud forceful demand.. something quite different than mainstream america was used to. "Wear your hair just for him, do the things he wanted to do"... on and on..
Then there is the whole thing about how music was distributed and played and the difficulties facing a black artist.. oh never mind, the truth usually falls on deaf ears.
Do not minimize what she did or how she did it, the fact remains she did it and did it better than most..
I grew up with her and the whole Motown thing.
