Yesterday, the Queen of Soul huddled with two different Oscar caliber directors about turning her autobiography into a movie. It’s really going to happen. And the big names are being mentioned, like maybe Denzel Washington to play the famous Reverend C.L. Franklin, Aretha’s dad, and any number of actresses–from Halle Berry to Jennifer Hudson– to play Miss Aretha. Of course, Aretha’s incredible sisters, Carolyn and Erma, will be represented as well. (I did suggest that Miss Franklin check out Viola Davis for her movie, too.)

Should be interesting especially if they go in depth over her tenure with Atlantic (particualrly 1967-72 when she made her best work).


Lets see who would play Ted White
Better yet I wonder who they will get to be Jerry Wexler

Please tell me Beyonce won't be playing the title role!!!
