This book for me was so-so everything was everywhere in this book one happy scene than it would quickly switch to a intense scene. I'd still read it when I get bored for nostalgic reasons 6/10 for me.

For the people who have read this book you'll understand.

The daughter of a pastor and a gospel vocalist, her musical prowess manifested early in her life within her father's Detroit church. Her series of chart-topping songs earned her the revered title of “the Queen of Soul,“ multiple Grammy Awards, and a distinguished place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. However, Aretha's impact extended beyond her melodic expressions; she also used her voice to denounce injustice and champion civil rights.

“B-L-E-S-S-E-D Cradled by the church, rocked by an ebony sea, Aretha says a little prayer each night on bended knee.“

The book's title and theme revolve around the concept of respect. It can serve as a platform for discussions on the importance of treating others with respect, regardless of differences. Aretha Franklin's life story can be used to inspire discussions about empowerment, perseverance, and the pursuit of one's dreams.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T: Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul by Carole Boston Weatherford is a great biography. The title of the book is a reference to one of Aretha Franklin's most famous songs, “Respect.“ The book explores Aretha's life, starting from her childhood and tracing her journey to becoming a groundbreaking artist. It highlights her powerful voice, her impact on the civil rights movement, and her contributions to the world of music.

In my classroom, I would use this book to talk about people who made a difference in the black history movement and who are well-known.

This book is a biography because it is about a specific person and its main point is to inform the reader about that person. The book also is clear that there was research done on Aretha Franklin before making the book. The information is accurate!
