Aretha Franklin, Born: March 25, 1942 in Memphis, Tennessee, U.S. Years Active: 1956–2017 - She is a quintessential singer, with a voice that leaves no doubt whatsoever. With power and passion grounded in the gospel tradition, she has a rare voice type called "falcon" part soprano and part mezzo-soprano, a richer and more dramatic sound. She performs melisma with startling accuracy and nuance. She can hold notes so long, powerfully that you start to wonder if she's breathing.
