[post_page_title]Aretha Franklin demanded to be paid upfront[/post_page_title]
Aretha Franklin may have been the Queen of Soul, but money was the king of her life. The artist would refuse to go on stage or perform until she was paid in cash upfront. She would then put the money in her bag, which she would never let out of her sight.
The bag would either go on stage with her, or she’d give it directly to her security team. Franklin became known for this bag, and fans would know her shows were done when she walked off stage with it.
