The one and only Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin celebrated her 66th birthday in high style. She and a group of intimate friends took up an audience at Broadway's Broadhurst Theatre on March 25th to see the Debbie Allen-helmed all-black version of Tennessee Williams' classic play 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.' Backstage, cast-members (l-r) Anika Noni Rose, Phylicia Rashad and Terrence Howard showed Franklin much love and R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

BRIAN DAVIS - you are a simpleton. Everyone knows that Aretha Franklin wears Faux. Instead of slithering your way through the internet looking for something stupid to say, maybe you should try getting an education. You should kill yourself. Seriously. Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARETHA !!!!!

I have not liked Aretha Franklin ever since she buthered Bridge Over Troubled Waters at the Grammys. I believe that was 1972. She was half way through the song before I realized what it was. Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel were both in the front row that year and when the camera was on them they both looked like they wanted to puke on their shoes from the way she buthered their hit.
