Aretha Franklin
Aretha Franklin is a force of nature. She was the first woman elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the State of Michigan designated her voice a natural resource. Born in Memphis and raised in Detroit, she began her recording career as a gospel singer at 14. She's also an accomplished pianist. Franklin has 17 Grammys - winning every year between '67 and '74. She's set to perform with the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra as a part of the Clinton Presidential Library grand opening.
