The Queen Of Soul
My favorite thing about American culture is our interpretation of royalty. To me its the most altruistic thing about our so called "land of opportunity" that one can earn the title Queen or King through achievement. It's widely held that Blues, Jazz, and Soul are the USA's most important exports in USA's short history.
No one's life can be condensed to one word — but Aretha Franklin came close when she sang one word: "Respect."
