The Queen Of Soul was honored with the Recording Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award that same year, in 1994
In 2018, the music world was shaken by the loss of one of its barrier-breaking godmothers, the one and only Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin.

Below, in the latest edition of GRAMMY Rewind, you can watch Franklin stun the audience at the 36th GRAMMY Awards in 1994, the same year she was honored with the Recording Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award.


Donning a regal all-white look, Franklin commanded the stage with a powerhouse performance of her 1967 GRAMMY-nominated hit, "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman."
During her illustrious career, the "Respect" singer took home 18 GRAMMY Awards and performed at the show eight times. She received her first GRAMMY nominations at the 10th GRAMMY Awards in 1968, including Best Contemporary Female Solo Vocal Performance for "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman," and three nods for "Respect." The latter classic saw her earn her first two golden gramophones, including Best Rhythm & Blues Recording.

Additionally, Franklin received the Recording Academy's GRAMMY Legend Award in 1991 and was also honored as the 2008 MusiCares Person of the Year. Five of her recordings now live in the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame: "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman," "Respect," "Chain Of Fools," "Amazing Grace" and "I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You."
