Aretha was not poor by a long shot. She grow up around gospel and soul music royality and keep in mind that her father was a baptist [peacher early in his career. Baptist folks take good care of their pastors. Furthermore, he toured with her and developed her career at a very early age in her life. He also was instrumental in helping some other greats such as Rev. James Cleveland start his career, they housed many famous people. Even owned a guest home at one of their homes.
