Beyonce says it鈥檚 Tina Turner, but should Aretha Franklin be stripped of her title?

Aretha Franklin is demanding a little more
R-E-S-P-E-C-T after young pop star Beyonc茅 Knowles described Tina Turner, not Aretha, as the Queen of Soul at the recent Grammy Awards. Needless to say Aretha did not take kindly to being stripped of her long-held royal title, accusing Beyonc茅 of taking a 'cheap shot'.

But who truly deserves the title of Queen of Soul? Music writer Lucy O鈥橞rien and soul singer Ruby Turner join Jenni to debate the Aretha-Tina controversy, and discuss which of the current soul princesses will follow in their wake.

'She Bop: The Definitive History of Women in Rock, Pop and Soul' by Lucy O鈥橞rien is published by Continuum International, ISBN: 978-0826457769.
