If a night of powerhouse vocals in tribute to the queen of soul is what you want, then baby you've got it as Respect to Aretha comes to venues in East Anglia in 2019.
Respect to Aretha is a new concert show that celebrates the extraordinary career of Aretha Franklin, featuring all her biggest hits including Respect, A Natural Woman and I Say a Little Prayer.
The show has been produced by Sweeney Entertainments and is coming to the King's Lynn Corn Exchange, Marina Theatre in Lowesoft and The Mercury Theatre in Colchester.
The show will be lead by Letitia George, who starred on series four of The Voice with The Kaiser Chief's Ricky Wilson as her coach, and she will be joined by a seven-piece band.
Letitia said: 'I've talked about wanting to tribute to Aretha for a few years.
'I initially planned to do a solo show but decided I couldn't possibly do something this special without my boys.
'If you're coming to the show expecting to see someone who looks, sounds and acts like Aretha Franklin, you're not going find it.
'In fact, you won't find that anywhere.
