Franklin, crushed barriers in the secular and gospel worlds, not to mention between “black” and “white” music. One of the most celebrated recording artists in American history, Franklin, who has amassed 18 Grammys and 20 number one singles, is the first woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
