2:30Now PlayingOn this day in 1987, Aretha Franklin became the first woman inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
During a revolutionary career, the singer-songwriter won 18 Grammy Awards and sold more than 75 million records worldwide.
Many of Aretha Franklin’s iconic songs became anthems of the civil rights movement and perhaps the most notable is her 1967 hit, “Respect.”
Former President Barack Obama once said, “Aretha helped define the American experience. In her voice, we could feel our history, all of it in every shade — our power and our pain, our darkness and our light, our quest for redemption and our hard-won respect.”
All this and more on “Prime.”
