Portrait of the Queen

From New Horizons, 5:30 pm on 27 October 2024

The recent and handsome boxed set of five Aretha Franklin albums from the 70s with the title 'A Portrait of the Queen 1970-1974' is all the excuse William Dart needs to dedicate a half-hour to the undisputed and much missed Queen of Soul.

Booklet image from 'Aretha Franklin: A Portrait of the Queen 1970-1974'. Aretha poses with feather boa.
