018 Aretha Franklin and the Clark Sisters Part 1 featuring Allen J.

This week, we take a break from the regular format. I have my good friend Allen on to talk about the Gospel beginnings of Aretha Franklin and a deep dive into the catalog of the Clark Sisters.

This is a prerecorded episode so apologies for the sound issues. Thanks for listening.
