Title: Too many "More on this later" comments, piques your curiousi
Review: This is a poorly written book on a subject, Aretha Franklin, whose talent I greatly admire. The book doesn't do her justice as she has a great deal more class than the book would leave you thinking. Why include a street fight that she had as a child? We know more about the food she ate than important details that are glossed over, such as the men in her life and a certain diva that she didn't get along with at a White House appearance. Aretha seems to be defending herself from so many comments made about her mother and what others said about her in the press without giving us enough of her side of the story. Many instances are brought up about various people in her life without giving us enough information and leaving us dissatisfied. Will someone please write a definitive biography about this fascinating woman? This one doesn't add anything to our knowledge of her.
