#ArethaFranklin—the Queen of Soul and first woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, whose songs like “#RESPECT” and “Natural Woman” still move audiences decades after their release—died on Aug. 16 at 76. Franklin passed away at her home in Detroit, her representative confirmed, according to the Associated Press. She had battled a spate of health problems over the last few years, forcing the cancellation of multiple concerts this year. One of the most iconic #musicians of the twentieth century, Franklin said last year that she planned to retire soon from touring. Born in Memphis in 1942, Franklin was widely considered one of the vocal greats of the last half-century, getting her start singing in #church before finding her place in the studio and in stardom’s spotlight. During her decades-long career as an artist, Franklin released more than 40 albums, plus a number of live and compilation albums. She performed at events like the 2009 inauguration of President Obama and the 2005 Super Bowl XL, and received accolades spanning from the Presidential Medal of Freedom to 18 Grammy Awards (and 44 nominations). Franklin also made history as the first woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. “I didn’t think my songs would become anthems for #women. But I’m delighted,” Franklin told TIME. “Women probably immediately feel compassion and relate to the lyrics. We can all learn a little something from each other, so whatever people can take and be inspired by where my music is concerned is great.” Read more about the life of #Aretha at TIME.com.
