Family Tree
Aretha Franklin’s voice wasn’t just good; it was exceptional. Not everyone is born with god-given talent, but Aretha was blessed with the voice of an angel. It’s possible that Aretha’s talent is genetic and that she inherited it from her mom. Her mother also had an incredible voice, and she earned her own recognition for her singing talent from a very young age.
When Aretha started singing, it was at her dad’s church in front of her father’s congregation. Sometimes, she would even play the piano. Her father was well-known for his distinctive and commanding voice, and of course, so is she. Aretha Franklin is so musically talented that she even taught herself how to play the piano. No wonder she had such a skyrocketing career.
