Aretha Franklin, the iconic 'Queen of Soul' who passed away in August 2018, continues to be remembered through tributes to her legacy and the artists she influenced. Multiple retrospectives highlight her profound impact on music, including her collaborations with legends like Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, and Neil Young, as well as her early activism and cultural significance. Her estate remains a subject of legal dispute among her children, while unreleased projects, such as a planned album with Lenny Kravitz, remain unrealized.
