Who's the first lady of rock and roll?
I'm inclined to say Janis, but I feel as though I'm overlooking someone...
Thoughts?

Laughter is much more important than applause. Applause is almost a duty. Laughter is a reward.

Posted: 8/13/07 at 2:31amWhat about Aretha Franklin? She's the "Queen of Soul," and she was the first woman inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Posted: 8/13/07 at 2:37amThat title was awarded to Miss Tina Turner after her huge comeback in the 80s. I believe there was big MTV/Rolling Stone thing. Who takes those things seriously anway....I mean Elvis is the King...what about Chuck Berry?

Posted: 8/13/07 at 2:50amI think also there was a fuss over Debbie Harry being the Queen of Punk. I'm sure in couple of years all of these titles will be given out again. Mary J. Blige the new Queen of Soul.

Posted: 8/13/07 at 1:48pmI would say that it is Cher, since she's had top-selling albums on the pop charts, for 5 decades.
