Aretha Franklin, the undisputed Queen of Soul, defined American music with her earth-shattering voice and unparalleled ability to blend gospel, R&B, and pop into something transcendent. Her live gospel masterpiece Amazing Grace stands as one of the best-selling gospel albums of all time, while Respect, the album that gave rise to her iconic anthem of the same name, cemented her status as both a musical and cultural icon. Her new holiday collection, Christmas Essentials, is available now for pre-order and set for release October 30, 2026.
