Aretha Franklin revisits church and childhood home in Detroit
The family of Aretha Franklin continues to plan memorial events following the legendary singer's death on Thursday at the age of 76. Back in 2011 for "CBS Sunday Morning," Anthony Mason had the chance to visit the church that sowed Franklin's roots with the Queen of Soul herself.

And her sisters Carol and Erma and her brother Rev Cecil L Franklin.
Everyone in Detroit knows this house was the Franklin home. Always down to earth, real, humble woman. Full of love.
Simply the BEST female artist of our time...”Who’s Zooming Who” 👏👏

I loved both of those songs🌷🎵🎶🎤
I used to be a young security guard at the apartment complex where she lived up until her death. I also Stephanie Mills, too who also live there as well.
She seemed like such a down-to-earth woman, with a lot of great stories to share.
When she got upset about her dad...😢😢
Those back up singers though! Pure class and soul!

1:29 Listen to her voice. It has inspired generations of singers, from gospel to country to R&B. Her father, who was a legend in his own right, never would've imagined that his daughter would be requested to sing at the inauguration of our first black president. 3:35 RIP Queen.

She even sang opera a couple times. Her last minute substitution for Pavarotti at the 1998 Grammy Awards is legendary. She sang the same Puccini aria again in Philly for the pope's visit in 2015.
THAT VOICE ❤️
I am mourning and feeling hurt about Aretha Franklin passing although I did not know her personally. I suppose I am hurt because I am going to miss her representation of Soulful music or her legacy or perhaps the idea of Good music to enjoy. Aretha music can bring back the cherished memories I have of my mother or make my soul peaceful and tranquil when the chaos of the world seems too much. Aretha I will miss you and I thank you for sharing your music, your legacy, your soul! Rest Easy Queen

How lucky are we to have lived when she was alive and her treasured voice graced radio and television. Long live the Queen of Soul.
That run at 1:42 was NUTS! Pure Aretha.
I love you Aretha! You touched so many lives. We women cried to your “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman”... your beautiful voice will be with us forever! I hope you are up there with Luther, Ella, and the many other gospel, soulful greats. You will be sorrily missed. Rest in eternal peace, our Queen of Soul.

If you grew up listening and dancing to her Music you did. I feel like I knew her too.
She looked so beautiful here. 2015, before the cancer came back full force I would assume. God rest her soul.
I would be crying too if I was approaching a sign on a park that had my late father's name on it. I would be crying uncontrollably like a baby.
Mama Aretha looks so much like her mama I know she missed her mother a great deal she loved her mother so much I can't imagine the pain that she has gone through in her life but I know that shes with her mom,dad sisters and her brother now in heaven
Aretha looked like her mom.

Walk In The Light: Our favorite song of Aretha Franklin. Great interview
I am a Jamaican fan of Aretha Franklin. I am not a dancer but when I hear her songs - gospel or otherwise - I have to do some movement. My deepest condolences to her family and friends. She is just resting. She lives on in her soul touching songs. Lots of love!
Speaking of amazing moments -- to be with Aretha in that church as she sits at the organ and accompanies herself singing . . . THAT would remain imprinted in my mind for the rest of my life.

Rest in peace my sister you will be missed so please submit it by the Washington family in Philadelphia Pennsylvania I will never forget you I enjoyed your music since I was a kid now and I'm grown and I still enjoy music I love you but God loves you best
She aged very well so graceful and she was just a such a small woman but what a gigantic powerful voice long live the queen of soul may she forever rest in power.
Live on Queen. You will never be forgotten. We love you!*
Thank-you Ms. Franklin for the beautiful 🎶 you shared with the world and may you 💃 with the 😇.
We will continue to cherish her life. People live your life to the fullest. Ms. You Queen.
beautiful tribute for a deserving human being. We were blessed by her existence and God Given gift. Praying comfort and love to all her family, loved ones and those who were touched by her life. God Bless!!!
I grew up right in my childhood home right down the street from Ms. Franklin on LaSalle Blvd . I cried with her when she started crying because that park is named after her father and my father walked with me to LaSalle Park and played ball with me he taught me how to train to run track around that park. I miss you daddy Mr. Nunley. Everyone on the block knew him. RIP
Thanks Mr and Mrs Franklin for teaching Community and Service to your children's and also Helping people in Detroit
Such a beautiful woman with a powerful voice. Love the queen

I Remember when I visited the church when I was a young man, my pastor was the guest Preacher, Rev, Willie James Saunders, Trenton New Jersey
She looked so much like her late mother..and her childhood home ,,,I wonder if it is still in family hands..? If not the current owners are doing a lovely job at up keeping the grounds..
what a wonderful woman. and her father and mother and her were Rock s.
Ree was a Class Act. Her parents separated when she was young and her mother did keep in touch with Ree and her siblings through telephone calls and letters and during the summer, Ree and her siblings Erma, Cecil and Carolyn would spend their summer with their mother and their brother Vaughn until her unexpected death from a heart attack. After their father was shot, Ree paid lots of money for his medical care until he died 5 years after he was shot. Ree loved her parents.
She was truly a Angel sent by God
She was touched by the love the city of Detroit showed in dedicating a city park to the name of her father. Now there will be a park dedicated to her honor as well as well as a number of other city landmarks I'm sure. She was an integral part of the city of Detroit. Her entire family was. She was so real and affectionate. And a fathers daughter. She loved her father so much.

One of THE greatest singers that ever lived. And I’m so glad that she had the awesome honor so sing for our nation’s first black President 🙏🏾 And I’m sure Barack Obama was honored as well.
I love Her and I am crying
Indeed the greatest voice of our time.
I can never forget the first time hearing her record with James cleveland...i was in a psych hospital and it played on the radio...what a powerful gospel album!
I hope you at peace and up there with the some of the greatest artists that ever grace this earth with their talent like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Prince, James Brown, Rick James, Luther Vandross, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Aaliyah and so on hope there is peace.
RIH Aretha and entetain the angels.❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
