Despite being born in Memphis, Tennessee, Aretha Franklin has long called Detroit home. Her father would move his family from Memphis to Buffalo for a short time before finally settling in Detroit when Aretha was two years old.

Throughout the years, she would continue to call the city home, and when she passed, it was in her Detroit home. The city always had a close association with Frankin, and their musical legacies will forever be linked.
