The fourth of five children, Aretha Louise Franklin was born on March 25, 1942, in Memphis, Tennessee, to Baptist preacher Reverend Clarence La Vaughan \"C. L.\" Franklin and Barbara Siggers Franklin, a gospel singer.

Largely self-taught, she was regarded as a child prodigy. A gifted pianist with a powerful voice, Franklin got her to start singing in front of her father's congregation. \n
