There's only one Aretha Franklin, but the Queen of Soul plans to hold auditions for singers to portray her. A musical based on her 1999 autobiography, "Aretha: From These Roots," will tour nationally, the Detroit Free Press reported Wednesday.
The production will tell Franklin's story of growing up in Detroit in the church headed by her father, the Rev. C.L. Franklin; of having family friends such as Sam Cooke and Dinah Washington; of her personal struggles; and of her rise to international stardom.
Hits by Franklin, 64, include "Respect," "Chain of Fools" and "Freeway of Love."
The Grammy winner is completing an album for release in February. (source)
