This topic can probably fit into the "useful trivia" or "boring b@stard" category. But I've just finished reading the biography of Aretha Franklin written by Mark Bego and there are a few things that I didn't know before (not exactly Einstien material !)
1. Erma Franklin who sang- Whispers getting louder on Duke, is Aretha's big sister.
2. Whilst exiting a Chicago limousine in 1968, Aretha was confronted by a 14 yr old runaway girl, Aretha gave her a $100 bill, that young girl was Oprah Winfrey.
3. Chuck Jackson, is actually the brother of Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Now, I never knew that......
And that's why I get a huge thrill when reading about this fantastic Soul scene.
