Despite significant emotional losses, including a second divorce and the death of her father in 1984, Aretha pushes herself artistically and triumphs. She begins a successful career at Arista, with the help of Clive Davis, and in an unforgettable Grammy performance in 1998, she solidifies her eternal reign as the Queen of Soul.
