Photographer’s Caption: “ARETHA FRANKLIN, 1987. She invited me up to the stage at Music Hall while she was making a TV special. I wanted to get her in profile, because you don’t see that view so often. I first photographed her maybe 20 years ago standing in front of her father’s church, where she got her start singing gospel.”
