Respect: The Life of Aretha Franklin by David Ritz

informative slow-paced

3.5

An interesting read with a lot of direct quotations from interviewees, but I wish it had delved a little more into personal details. We got a detailed play-by-play of her career and touched on the important moments of her life but it never felt like we went into depth on her personally - perhaps because she is so adept at drawing up the wall around herself?
