Aretha Franklin gossip
Rev.C.L. Franklin was a closet case. That's what I know. And he had a taste for little boys. Not kids, but boys who were around 16-17. One night a young boy he had relations with tried to plunder him in his house, and shot him. He was kept alive artificially for years.
The part you say about him getting his wife locked up is true. He was also physically "strict"(abusive) to his kids, Carolyn, Erma, Aretha and Cecil. To my information he never sexually abused his kids, he was just a mean assed bastard.
From a adolescent age, Aretha, prefer Whitney, was a star in church. People would show up from all over to Rev Franklin's church to learn Aretha and that choir.
