For Women's History Month, we are sharing a Morning Show that aired back in 2018, a few days after the death of singer Aretha Franklin. We begin with Meredith Ochs, author of "Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul: A Life in Photographs." After that, Dr. James Kinchen (Director of Choral Activities at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside) pays tribute to Ms. Franklin and her extraordinary career.

In today’s popular music landscape, instruments are used in more inventive ways than ever as the next generation of artists find new avenues to create. This session with recording artist Elise Trouw, radio personality and author Meredith Ochs, CEO of Fender Andy Mooney, and Ableton's Managing Director for North American Tony McCall explores the different ways musicians are adopting new music technology in live/recorded performance, while still embracing traditional musical instruments, like guitar, creating a marriage of classic and progressive technological tools. The result? A stronger connection between fans and bands than ever before…and great new music.

Laura sits down with Meredith Ochs, an award-winning broadcast journalist, author, musician, and photographer. She is a longtime contributor to NPR, the first female editor at Guitar World magazine, and the author of Rock-and-Roll Woman: The 50 Fiercest Female Rockers. They talk about the women who broke the mold of “girl singer” to become writers, arrangers, producers, and cultural icons, fueled by the power of unshakable faith in themselves. Tune in as Meredith explores the little known and often misunderstood pieces of Aretha Franklin’s journey that can empower women in any industry. Want more?

Shelley and Christian dig deep into friend of the show Meredith Ochs' latest book, Aretha: The Queen of Soul - A Life in Photographs.  Since the book is filled with photos, along with three essays by Ms. Ochs, we decide to play as many disparate songs by the Diva of divas to showcase just how amazing Aretha really was during her lifetime.Aretha Franklin's voice was legendary, unforgettable: deeply rooted in gospel, yet versatile enough to brilliantly interpret R&B, rock, soul, pop, and jazz standards, it fueled a six-decade career. Her vocal wallop was a mix of preaching, rebuke, and elation. From the languorous “I Never Loved a Man (the Way That I Love You),” to the funky “Chain of Fools,” to the fiercely feminist “Think,” to the definitive, demanding version of Otis Redding's “Respect,” Franklin's songs played out against the tumultuous sociopolitical backdrop of the late '60s like a soundtrack meant to set things right. Her accolades were many: she received the Kennedy Center honor in 1994, won 18 Grammys, was the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and performed for presidents and the Pope. Illustrated with 85 photos, and with insightful text from noted radio personality and author Meredith Ochs, Aretha explores the diva's life, from her formative years growing up in Detroit, to her singing and recording career from the 1950s until her untimely death in 2018, to her numerous honors, awards, and causes, including her advocacy for civil rights and the arts.Get the book hereDiggers, you can support the show by wearing cool rock n roll gear from TeePublic: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/rocknrollDisclaimer: The views expressed here by Shelley Sorenson are made in her capacity as a private citizen, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the San Francisco Public Library or the City of San Francisco.Call us at 650-822-ROCK or email at: info@rocknrollarchaeology.com
