  • Aretha Louise Franklin, The Queen of Soul (1942-) She started her career in the early-1960s. Her breakout hit was "Respect" (1965), a song originally written and recorded by Otis Redding. This song helped define her persona: since it was originally written for a guy, its narrator is naturally more assertive than most female singers were before. Her appearance in The Blues Brothers and its sequel as the wife of Matt "Guitar" Murphy revamped her career in the 1980s. She has never entirely gone away, still puts out hits, and draws crowds even today.

  • Peel was a fan of Aretha Franklin's soul type of music from the 60's and early 70's. She made her breakthrough to commercial success in 1967 and although her hits were not Perfumed Garden material, they were played on Radio London's daytime shows and the strong blues feel of her work made her more popular with late '60s rock fans than most other soul singers of that time. Peel apparently saw her live in London at the end of the 1960s, having gone at the insistence of Johnnie Walker. File:You'll Never Walk Alone - Aretha Franklin, Gospel Greats 1999 album
