It would be hard to deny the poster's claim that Aretha Franklin was "The World's Greatest Female Singer" in 1968, as she was awarded her very first Grammy award trophies a mere two days prior to this appearance at Chicago's Auditorium Theatre. The blockbuster hit "Respect," one of four RIAA certified million-selling singles for Franklin during 1967, earned the Queen of Soul honors as ‘Best Rhythm & Blues Recording' and 'Best Solo Vocal Performance, Female.' By year's end, Franklin would rack up four more millionsellers; a remarkable achievement. Who knows when an opportunity to acquire another boxing style poster from her hit-making peak will find its way into the marketplace as Franklin posters from the 1960's rarely appear in the marketplace. Produced by Tribune Press of Earl's Park, Indiana, this 14" x 22" gem exhibits three age-toned borders and several non-intrusive smudges. Estimate $1,000-$1,500.
