The Queen Of Soul Returns To The Stage

Some R-E-S-P-E-C-T, ya’ll! The Queen has returned!

Last night, Aretha Franklin performed for the lucky attendants of Candies Foundation’s “Event To Prevent” gala in New York. The benefit Cipriani 42nd Street was to kick off National Teen Pregnancy Month and Aretha did the audience proud to help raise awareness for the cause.

Looking good, girl! So happy to see your healthy and back in the game!
