The Queen of Soul: A Tribute to Aretha Franklin featuring Damien Sneed
With special guest Valerie Simpson of Ashford & Simpson
An homage to one of the most beloved singers of all time, created by accomplished musician and composer Damien Sneed, who toured with and was mentored by Franklin herself. Sneed gathers a superb group of jazz, gospel and soul musicians to accompany six-time Grammy Nominee Valerie Simpson in soaring performances of Franklin’s timeless hits, including Respect, Think, Freeway, and Natural Woman.
Valerie Simpson is half of the songwriting-performing-producing entity known as Ashford & Simpson. Their award-winning collaborations began in the late ‘60s, and she along with her late husband Nick Ashford have penned classic hits such as, “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” “You’re All I Need to Get By,” “Reach Out and Touch Somebody’s Hand,” “I’m Every Woman,” and many others that were made famous by Aretha Franklin.
