The world held its breath when the cause of Aretha Franklin 's canceled tour dates was said to be cancer .

Gaby Moreno defies categorization with a unique voice and stunning style.
Detroit Free Press (MCT) -- You know the Aretha Franklin classics, the hits and the chestnuts, perhaps even the deeper album cuts from her soul years with Atlantic Records and pop period with Arista. But unless you're a diehard Franklin devotee, odds are you haven't spent much time amid the nooks and crannies of her earliest work, the six years at Columbia Records that have taken on almost mythical status.
