MUSIC MONDAY: Happy Birthday to The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin

    There's a little less than a week left of Women's History Month. We've been celebrating Queens everywhere all month. We couldn't let the celebration end without wishing a very happy birthday to a living musical legend and The Queen of Soul. Today singer, Aretha Franklin turns 71. Franklin has won numerous Grammy awards and the respect of musicians and music lovers alike all over the world. As a soul music fan and music fan in general, I declare my admiration and acknowledgement of the tremendous contributions Franklin has made to the music industry with more than 5 decades in the business. Aretha Franklin is a Queen in her own right and deserves props on top of props, on top of props. Happy Birthday, Aretha!
