From our Photographic History Collection comes this photo of Aretha Franklin performing at the 2009 inauguration of President Obama, taken by Karen Ballard.
What will our Music Curator John Troutman listen to today as we reflect on the legacy of the Queen of Soul? "First Snow in Kokomo" from the album "Young, Gifted and Black," released in 1972. It's one of her lesser-known masterpieces. “Written while contemplating a winter's day in Kokomo, Indiana," said Troutman, "the song is absolutely breathtaking in its quiet celebration of the profound grace, awe, and joy of life. She had a special skill for crafting incredibly intimate scenes of the everyday." On this sad day as we reflect on Franklin's legacy and profound imprint on American culture, which song will you most remember her for, and why? #QueenOfSoul #ArethaFranklin
