Aretha Franklin won a total of 18 Grammy Awards throughout her illustrious career. She also received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, which further recognizes her significant contributions to music. Franklin is often referred to as the "Queen of Soul" and is celebrated for her powerful voice and enduring impact on the music industry.
By most accounts, Aretha was a very close friend of the family, and when Whitney was growing up, she thought of Aretha as an aunt. It is not unusual for a close family friend to be asked to be the godmother. But it should be noted that after Whitney died, Aretha went on a TV program (the Today Show) and said she had never been Whitney's godmother, even though this had been reported in the media for many years.
Many media sources have reported that it was Aretha Franklin, but in an interview with Al Roker after Whitney Houston's death, Aretha stated that she was not Whitney's godmother, but rather, a very close family friend. That said, Whitney thought of Aretha as a member of the family, and there are reports she called her "Aunt Ree" when still a child. But after Whitney died, reports also surfaced that Aretha and Cissy Houston (Whitney's mom) had a dispute and became estranged from each other; this may explain why Aretha began to disavow any relationship to the family.
