LIFE-long Aretha Franklin fan and power-house vocalist Letitia George will be coming to Redditch next month.

Respect to Aretha is a heartfelt and uplifting dedication to the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin.

Her extraordinary career as a singer and songwriter spanned more than 60 years.

She rose from church gospel singer to international stardom at a young age and is widely accepted as one of the finest female soul singer of our time.

A spokesman said: "Massive hits including A Natural Woman, Say A Little Prayer, Chain Of Fools, Until You Come Back To Me, Think, I Never Love A Man, and of course Respect, will ensure that Aretha’s legacy will continue forever."

Letitia George rose to the spotlight after featuring on series four of BBC 1's The Voice UK.

The show is on April 11.
