520    Aretha was private. I respected this and she trusted me. 
       Linda Solomon met Aretha Franklin in 1983 when she was 
       just beginning her career as a photojournalist and 
       newspaper columnist. Franklin's brother and business 
       manager arranged for Solomon to capture the singer's major
       career events-just as she was coming back home to Detroit 
       from California-while Franklin requested that Solomon 
       document everything else. Everything. And she did just 
       that. What developed over these years of photographing 
       birthday and Christmas parties in her home, annual 
       celebrity galas, private backstage moments during national
       awards ceremonies, photo shoots with the iconic pink 
       Cadillac, and more was a friendship between two women who 
       grew to enjoy and respect one another. The Queen Next Door
       : Aretha Franklin, An Intimate Portrait is a book full of 
       firsts as Solomon was invited not only to capture 
       historical events in Aretha's music career showcasing 
       Detroit but to join in with the Franklin family's most 
       intimate and cherished moments in her beloved hometown. 
       From performance rehearsals with James Brown to off-camera
       shenanigans while filming a music video with the Rolling 
       Stones, from her first television special to her first 
       time performing with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, to 
       her last performance with her sisters at her father's 
       church and her son's college graduation celebration. In 
       the book's afterword, Sabrina Vonne' Owens, Franklin's 
       niece, honors her aunt, a woman who was an overwhelming 
       supporter of civil rights, women's rights, and fundraising
       campaigns that helped to benefit her hometown. There was a
       time in her career-when Franklin was more in demand than 
       ever before-when she insisted that if someone wanted her 
       to perform, they had to come to Detroit. During this time 
       all of her major concerts, national television specials, 
       music videos, and commercials would happen in Detroit. 
       Aretha Franklin showed her respect for the people in the 
       city who championed her from the very beginning when she 
       started singing as a young girl in the church choir. 
       Franklin used to say, "I am the lady next door when I am 
       not on stage." The Queen Next Door offers fans a personal 
       and unseen look at an extraordinary woman in her most 
       natural moments-both regal and intimate-and highlights her
       devotion to her family and her hometown Detroit-"forever 
       and ever."
