August 25th, 2018 – Music Program
Tonight’s music program includes selections from the “Queen of Soul” Aretha Franklin who passed away last week.
“Aretha helped define the American experience. In her voice, we could feel our history, all of it and in every shade—our power and our pain, our darkness and our light, our quest for redemption and our hard-won respect. May the Queen of Soul rest in eternal peace.”
– Barack Obama
