国立アメリカ歴史博物館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (国立アメリカ歴史博物館Instagram)「Today in 1942, Aretha Franklin is born. As a singer, songwriter, civil rights activist, and cultural icon, Franklin participated in—and provided the soundtrack for—a number of historic moments. One example: photographer Karen Ballard captured this image of Franklin during her show-stopping performance at the the 2009 inauguration of President Barack Obama. 🎤 Our collections include more than 100 of Franklin's records, chronicling the vast expanse and depth of her recording career. In the wake of Franklin's death in August 2018, our music curator reflected: "There are few singers who shaped so many of our sacred and secular genres with as divine a force as Franklin. . .the depth of her songwriting and musical skill, as well as the wit, emotion, and charismatic draw of her voice, enabled Franklin to not only cross over but to transform and make new our most significant musical genres." 🎶 Visit the link in our bio to learn more: https://s.si.edu/ArethaFranklin #AmericanHistory #MusicHistory #WomensHistory #AfricanAmericanHistory #PresidentialHistory #EntertainmentHistory #MusicMondays #OTD #TDIH #BecauseOfHerStory #SmithsonianMusic」3月25日 22時39分
