Aretha Franklin: The Queen of Soul by Mark Bego
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Author Bego highlights the questions of Aretha's life: Who fathered her first two children born in her teen years and why does she cancel so many appearances? Is it fear or money issues? Bego can only surmise and though he has had a lot of personal access with the subject, comes up with nothing really revealing. Record collectors will appreciate the recording and session details on every album and we can chuckle at the KFC and Wal-Mart obsessions of the house-bound, ecceentric suburban recluse Queen of Soul.
