The Queen of Soul’s Favorite Soprano–Audrey DuBois Harris
Our premier episode features the story of The Queen of Soul’s Favorite Soprano. Aretha loved Puccini as much as she loved church music and soul, and when she discovered Audrey DuBois Harris mixing classical and gospel on a TV show one day, she just had to contact her. Her heart-felt performance at Franklin’s funeral was one last request fulfilled for The Queen’s family, and when you rewatch with that in mind, you’ll know why she put her whole heart and talent into it. All the way from Montreal, Canada, don’t miss Harris’ story and what’s next for the Juilliard alumna…on the first episode of #theculturesouppodcast
