Aretha Franklin Rouses Crowd at Street Dedication for Dad

At 74, Aretha Franklin still has it.

Franklin brought a crowd of hundreds to its feet at a Friday dedication ceremony at the New Bethel Baptist Church at 8430 Linwood to rename a street outside after her father, the late Rev. C.L. Franklin, the Detroit Free Press reports.

After performing on stage,  Franklin "strode up the aisle, continuing to wail as a couple of worshippers shook a tambourine," Niraj Warikoo of the Free Press reports.

"I love Aretha from my heart," gushed Kim Harton, 64, of Detroit, after the ceremony, the article says. "God made her the queen of America. She's beautiful. Her father was a king, her mother was a ueen. And now, she's the queen."
