This beautiful, rare original concert poster features the Queen of Soul, the late great Aretha Franklin! It advertised her performance at the Portland Coliseum on November 1st, 1968. Portland mayor Terry Schrunk declared Friday, Nov. 1st "Aretha Franklin Day" due to this event. Ask anyone who loves radio and they will tell you, there is one common denominator in Aretha's music. Every song she sings makes you feel good.

Franklin became a star in the late 1960s with a number of hits. She remains one of the best-selling musical artists of all time, and although she passed away a few years ago, her legacy will continue to live on. This poster is absolutely gorgeous and is a very scarce relic from the glory days of music and pop culture. We believe this poster has serious potential.
