known for her non-nonsense attitude seems to have called out some Hollywood execs who allegedly tried to ruin the late artha Franklin's career so what exactly did she say for context there have always been speculations that artha and Patty Lael didn't get along that is the craziest thing I've ever heard of please what's going on with that nothing nothing at all we decided it just wasn't even waste it wasn't worth the time so no bad blood between you and and oh please are you kidding it all began when Franklin appeared to snub leel at the women of Soul concert at the White House in 2014 by refusing to shake lael's hand when she offered it label later downplayed the incident to Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live she insisted that didn't see the apparent snub and despite the video of it that the lady Franklin brushed by wasn't her I don't know who the lady was leel told Cohen I just know she had on a green coat the same year Franklin said Patty and I are cool and we always have been in response to a false story claiming that the pair physically brawled still even as both song stresses publicly stressed that they did not have a feud some pointed to evidence of a rivalry extending beyond the music industry in 2016 Franklin announced she would was launching her own food line following the success of lebel's sold out sweet potato pies at Walmart saying Miss Patty's going to have to move that pie to the side again both women denied a rivalry lebel told hotspots magazine in 2017 that quote unquote I haven't had beef with anyone she added I'm not going to be pitted against any lady in this industry anyway Patty eventually dispelled the rumors following the death of artha where she posted a moving tribute for the late queen of soul I am deeply sad about the passing of the queen of soul and my sister in song artha Franklin lebel said in a statement on X she termed Franklin a rare treasure whose unmatched musical genius helped craft the soundtrack to the lives of so many additionally in a 2019 Interview With The Breakfast Club Patty Lael corroborated the fact that Not only was there no bad blood and the two plan to work together shortly before artha passed Aretha is my Queen We were supposed to do a duet before she passed 3 months before she died she called me and we talked she used to remind me of times when we were in Detroit at the club I said girl what club but I remembered we did hang I said I want to record a song with you she said let's do it Patty she really wanted to sing a duet with me I said what song would you like to do she said anything with you Patty I mean we had a good relationship and while leel said that she and artha were good there are some younger artists who are on her ish list she didn't share their names on The Breakfast Club but she said the time is coming where all will be revealed in fact she said she plans on making a movie discussing all the people who dismissed or disregarded her in the industry she said you'll see soon she said I'm making a movie of people who dissed me she said the movie will be called Patty's sad days lebel provided hints claiming that some of the biggest girls in music right now snubbed her 2 years ago she said I said I walking in the hallway we were doing a bet special that Hyer looked at me and walked away naturally the host wanted to know who she was referring to and took a couple of guesses she said it wasn't lizo Rihanna or Beyonce who Patty called her babies Through The Years Franklin had steadfastly denied a rift between herself and the Philadelphia Soul Legend so much so that in 2014 she filed a $10 million lawsuit against the fake News website news nerd after they posted a story claiming that Franklin and lebel got into a huge brawl the website reported that leel was charged with assault and battery after confronting Franklin apparently upset over how the queen of soul threw epic shade at her clearly the outlet was sterzing the White House incident and there is a disclaimer at the bottom stating its posts are for entertainment purposes only but for Franklin it was no laughing matter in a statement to the media Franklin wrote I've never heard anything crazier regarding myself and Patty allegedly fighting on March 20th in Atlanta on March 20th I was in New York City readying for my birthday Patty sorry lol laughing at my typo error I meant party which we all had one fabulous time Patty and I are cool and we always have been I enjoyed her at the White House classic Patty for the record Franklin and leel are known for delivering major shade to other artists like the True Divas that they are so it's not out of the realm of possibility that they might have a competitive not vindictive Feud with each other in any case artha Louise Franklin fondly known as the queen of soul was more than just a singer she was a force of nature an icon whose voice resonated with Millions across the globe artha Louise Franklin who came into this world on March 25th 1942 was born to Barbara nay seagar and Clarence leavon CL Franklin aretha's birthplace was her family's home in Memphis Tennessee her father CL Franklin a Baptist Minister and circuit preacher originally hailing from Shelby Mississippi and her mother an accomplished piano player and vocalist were the pillars of her upbringing this family Dynamic was far from simple as both Mr and Mrs Franklin brought children from prior relationships into their Union in addition to the four children they had together at the tender age of two young ARA's life took a significant turn when her family relocated to Buffalo New York however this was just the beginning of their journey by the time artha celebrated her fifth birth day her father had made the decision to permanently move the family to Detroit Michigan it was in this VI vibrant City that he assumed the role of pastor at the new bethl Baptist Church setting the stage for aretha's musical journey and spiritual upbringing however the church would soon be described as a realm where Saturday night merged into Sunday morning and sin met salvation at the crossroads of African-American musical culture high on the Holy Ghost during church services people danced in the aisles celebrating the love of Christ however outside the sanctuary the atmosphere was entirely different marked by wild even caught the attention of legendary musician Ray Charles Hollywood may have wanted to keep this under wraps but it's a truth that's been hiding in plain sight for far too long Ray Charles himself couldn't help but be astonished saying in those days I had a thing but I had to be the only cat in the room with two or three chicks the gospel people didn't think that way the cats liked it with the cats and the chicks liked it with the chicks and no one minded mixing it up this way or that the contrast between the spiritual and the secular in her life was profound but it's a reality that Hollywood chose to ignore anyway aside from their spiritual journey the Franklin's personal lives were also marred by difficulties Mr Franklin's infidelities strained their marriage leading to their separation in 1948 during this time Barbara Franklin returned to Buffalo with aretha's half brother vau as they faced the challenges of a fractured family despite the separation artha maintained a connection with her mother she recalled precious summer moments spent with her mother in Buffalo and Barbara Franklin made frequent visits to see her children in Detroit attempting to bridge the geographical Gap and nurture their bonds tragically aretha's early years were marked by loss her mother Barbara Franklin passed away from a heart attack on March 7th 1952 a few days before arth's 10th birthday leaving an indelible mark on the young girl's life and things just went South from there on at just 12 years old she faced the tragic reality of teenage pregnancy Clarence her firstborn who was named after the singer's preacher father was born just 2 months before her 13th birthday and she had Edward her second child 2 years later at age 14 Franklin herself never revealed the identity of the father of either of the boys but a 2014 biography by David Ritz called respect the Life of artha Franklin claimed that the father of her oldest son Clarence was Donald Burke a boy she knew from school but there is no suggestion in the biography that the pregnancy resulted from a non-consensual encounter or as the movie SU gests and as critics have observed that she was the victim of statutory assault however even that detail was called into question in 2019 after Franklin's death when three handwritten Wills were discovered in her home including one in a notebook wedged between couch cushions when Franklin died in 2018 her family believed that she had no will and her sons have argued in court over the authenticity of those documents but one of the wills states that clarence's father was Edward Jordan senior with whom she also had her second son Edward in 1957 little is known about Edward Jordan senior and Franklin rarely discussed her first two pregnancies anyway at the age of 18 artha got married to Ted white the couple married quickly after less than a month of dating but friends and family specifically including Franklin's father CL Franklin were opposed to the union based on misgivings about White's character Franklin and white eventually divorced in 1969 amidst reports of white being physically abusive during their marriage instances of both public and private violence were cited by friends family and reporters Franklin's brother Cecil Franklin replaced white as her manager after their separation at the time aretha's sister-in-law Earline married to her brother cile revealed everyone knew that Ted white was a brutal man but artha she's always clung to this fairy tale storyline she wanted the world to think she had a storybook marriage she was having all those hits and making all that money she was scared of rocking the boat until one day the boat capsized and she nearly drowned anyway years after divorcing white artha Franklin married actor Glenn Turman in 1978 in addition to being an actor Turman worked as a producer writer and director throughout his career Turman and Franklin had both been previously married and entered their Union with previous children the couple are reported to have maintained a positive relationship however they eventually separated and divorced in 1984 the the main marital struggles are cited to be related to issues maintaining a long-distance relationship which makes sense considering both Stars had thriving careers that required extensive travel after her divorce from Turman artha Franklin remained unmarried her long-term friendship with William Willie Wilkerson garnered some public attention and speculation about their relationship much of which was solidified when the pair announced their engagement in 2012 after years of companionship the pair never married but remained close in any case despite all the chaos in her personal life artha Franklin wielded her unparalleled Talent like a scepter captivating the hearts and souls of millions in 1967 at the tender age of 25 artha Franklin exploded onto the music scene with her audacious rendition of Otis reading's respect this electrifying Anthem draped in confidence and empowerment not only established her as Lady Soul but also became the rallying cry for a generation it was a song that transcended mere Melodies it was a declaration of independence a call for equality and a testament to her unbridled Talent her meteoric rise was already underway when she collaborated with producer Jerry Wexler on her first Atlantic record single I never loved a man the way I love you a man this Soulful Masterpiece recorded at Rick Hall's Fame recording studios in muscle schols Alabama marked not only the birth of an extraordinary talent but also the dawn of a new era in Soul music fast forward to 1987 a year that would etch aretha's name in history once again she became the first woman ever to be inducted into the hallowed Halls of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this historic Accolade was a testament to her Monumental influence and her tireless dedication to her craft alongside Legends like Marvin Gay BB King and Smokey Robinson artha Franklin solidified her place as a true musical p P ER however the competitive music industry added to her inner turmoil making it hard for her to connect with other female artists due to feelings of jealousy towards some of them icons such as Diana Ross and Barbara strand along with competitors like Natalie Cole Anita Baker and Whitney Houston were often seen as potential challenges to aretha's status as a prominent figure in the music world despite this Hollywood tended to ignore any tensions or conflicts between them preferring to portray a more harmonious music industry but for many these rivalries were just par for the course when you held the title of Queen of Soul however this wasn't all for her she faced even bigger challenges especially when she became close to none other than the Hollywood Mogul Clive Davis like all granddaughters do she got nervous she was a Perfection since artha Franklin left Atlantic Records in 1979 Clive Davis has been the force behind many of her most successful albums he first worked with her as the founder and president of Arista records and now in his role as Chief creative officer of Sony Music Entertainment Clive has been friends with artha for about 40 years Clive shared how their bond began and eventually became stronger while working in the industry he said the first time I met her was when she called after I had found at Arista so we're talking late 1970s she was at the end of her career at Atlantic she was working with producers who didn't quite have the right handle on the material I went to her house in Los Angeles and she cooked dinner for me we spent the evening getting to know each other and establishing the bond that we have this taken CL the bevle hills hotel so this is literally the beginning of your friendship recently Clive Davis has been the Talk of the Town due to his Connections in Hollywood and his activities in the industry many speculate that some of his associates may not be immune to his actions fans have alleged that artha Franklin could have been a victim of Clive's actions in Hollywood particularly citing his introduction of her to Quincy Jones for those who are unaware all of this ties back to the well-known rapper and Mogul Diddy who is currently facing numerous lawsuits Clive Davis is a big deal in music he's had a huge impact especially when he started Arista records there he signed a bunch of really important black artists like Patty Smith The Outlaws Eric Carmen expose Ace of Base Air Supply Dion Warwick Ray Parker Jr and radio artha Franklin and Alicia Keys Davis also helped Puffy get his start with Bad Boy Records as new news about Hollywood celebrities has begun to surface many fans have learned that Clive Davis has a history that's been in the spotlight especially regarding drug dealings in a civil suit filed against him there was evidence indicating that he allegedly misused the company's funds as a result he was summoned before the nework grand jury and was later let go by Colombia on April 10th 1973 Colombia's investigation into Mr win Shaw's actions eventually LED them to Anthony Rubino who was in charge of approving expense vouchers and then to Mr Davis himself a major figure in the recording industry Mr Rubino was fired on May 25th followed by Mr Davis on May 29th 1973 according to Columbia's lawsuit Mr Davis allegedly used company funds to renovate his Central Park West apartment and to throw a lavish Bar Mitzvah reception Mr winshaw was also implicated in the misuse of funds according to the suit several music industry insiders interviewed recently mentioned an executive at Columbia Records who was known as the house pimp among colleagues Clive was Mr super straight Mr dignity while this other guy was gotcha the one who got whatever an artist wanted a former Columbia records employee said if an artist came to town and wanted a hooker or grass or whatever he went to him there's somebody like that at most pop record companies said a leading executive in the industry I don't know how many companies are involved but if one is they're all doing it when somebody says we need six broads or eight bags somebody's got to do it in any case Clive Davis is not the only Elite that artha unfortunately found herself entangled with she had a brief encounter with the queen of talk shows Oprah Winfrey and to this day fans have always questioned how the encounter left Aretha feeling you see when Oprah Winfrey and artha Franklin sat down for a chat audiences anticipated a meeting of Titans both women revered in their own right brought Decades of experience and wisdom to the table however what transpired during their conversation left many viewers scratching their head wondering if there was more to The Exchange than met the eye from the outset it was evident that Oprah's questions carried a subtle Edge when she inquired about the type of man it would take to handle artha her emphasis on a man that could handle you added a layer of shade to the conversation we were talking before about would you get married again what kind of man would it take to handle you now W does he exist oh of well artha responded with her trademark Grace it was hard to ignore the undercurrent of tension lingering in the air as the interview progressed Oprah ventured into more personal territory mentioning the rumored relationship between artha and Dennis Edwards from The Temptations it was a moment that seemed to borderer on intrusive as Oprah probed into aretha's romantic past yet Aretha remained composed downplaying the significance of the relationship and deflecting any attempts to sensationalize her private life I did not know until I read this in the B about Dennis Edwards the other Temptation and that whole that that's who the whole day I can say that in any case Franklin and Edwards dated in the early 1970s and Franklin was apparently so Smitten by Edwards that she wrote a song about him on daydreaming released in 1972 Franklin lauded a lover who's the kind of guy that you give your everything anyway throughout the conversation there was a palpable sense of unease as Oprah's questions veered into territory that felt more like tabloid fodder than genuine inquiry even when discussing aretha's iconic song you make me feel like a natural woman Oprah's line of questioning seemed to lack depth as if she were fishing for a scandal rather than seeking to understand the inspiration behind the music despite the tension Aretha Franklin remained a picture of poise and dignity refusing to be drawn into Oprah's game with each probing question she offered measured responses never allowing herself to be rattled by Oprah's attempts to stir the pot in any case artha Franklin the Undisputed queen of soul left an indelible mark on the music world with her powerful voice and Timeless songs her iconic career and influence on the industry are celebrated around the globe but beneath the surface of Fame and success Aretha grappled with a multitude of internal demons and external challenges that often went unnoticed by The Glitz and glamour of Hollywood one of the most profound struggles that haunted artha throughout her life was her deeply rooted insecurities despite her exceptional talent and countless accolades she battled with a nagging feeling of not being good enough as a singer this self-doubt cast a shadow over her personal and professional life making her question her abilities and worthiness artha also wrestled with doubts about her physical appearance constantly feeling that she fell short of societal beauty standards as a mother she carried the heavy burden of not being devoted enough plagued by guilt and self-criticism these insec ities LED artha down a path of belittling others and engaging in conflicts as a defense mechanism to mask her vulnerability Hollywood often preferred to portray her as a Flawless Diva but the truth was far more intricate aretha's internal struggles were an integral part of her Persona shaping her interactions and decisions in ways that were not always flattering even in her later years as the queen of soul Aretha remained fiercely protective of her title refusing to share the throne with anyone else her conflicts with fellow artists such as Luther vros were evidence of her unwavering determination to retain her Reign she insisted on being addressed as Miss Franklin an emblem of her unyielding ego Hollywood may have preferred to depict her as a gracious Diva but the reality was far more complex and at times tumultuous aretha's life wasn't solely defined by her personal struggles her professional career was also marred by challenges she became Infamous for cancelling concerts arriving late and even neglecting to pay bills her business Acumen lagged behind her immense musical Talent leading to financial difficulties that were rarely acknowledged by Hollywood the glossy portrayal of her music often overshadowed the gritty details of her professional life one aspect of aretha's life that couldn't be concealed was her love for food which resulted in significant weight gain however after a health scare in 2010 Aretha made a radical lifestyle change and shed a substantial amount of weight while Hollywood preferred to focus on her voice her struggles with weight were an undeniable part of her life that could not be ignored aretha's journey is undoubtedly legendary but it is also marred by these Hidden Truths and struggles that Hollywood chose to gloss over the unauthorized biography by David Ritz provides a candid and unfiltered portrait of a woman who confronted the darkest depths of life and fame it challenges The Selective storytelling of Hollywood where the polished exterior often conceals the painful realities of the lives of our beloved icons artha Franklin was undeniably a musical giant but she was also a human being with flaws and challenges and her story deserves to be told in all its complexity the news of artha Franklin's passing at the age of 76 reverberated around the world leaving a void in the music industry and the hearts of her countless fans the queen of soul had a busy schedule of performances planned for 2018 but health problems forced her to cancel her management announced artha Franklin has been ordered by her doctor to stay off the road and rest completely for at least the next 2 months it was a somber reminder of her mortality a stark contrast to the Larger than Life image often projected by Hollywood all in all artha Franklin's life was a remarkable Journey filled with both triumphs and tribulations Hollywood may have been inclined to romanticize and sanitize her story but her true narrative as revealed in David Ritz's unauthorized biography is a testament to her strength resilience and the complex Humanity that existed Beneath The Glitz and glamour Martha Franklin was not just the queen of soul she was a Survivor who confronted life's darkest corners and emerged as an enduring icon her Legacy serves as a reminder that behind every Legend lies a multifaceted individual with a story worth telling warts and all anyway that's it
