See Cynthia Erivo as Aretha Franklin In Brand New Image From 'Genius'
Cynthia Erivo looks so much like Aretha Franklin in this brand new image from the upcoming season of Genius.
The new pic shows the actress on stage in 1967 at the Regal Theater in Chicago performing “Save Me” with her sisters Carolyn (Rebecca Naomi Jones) and Erma (Patrice Covington) supporting her.
The image was released in celebration of what would’ve been the singer’s 78th birthday.
National Geographic is also making a donation to Feeding America in her name, in recognition of the difficult times we are currently in.
The series will explore the legendary singer’s life and musical genius as well as the immeasurable impact and lasting influence she has had on music and culture around the world.
Genius: Aretha will premiere on Monday, May 25 and air over four consecutive at 9 p.m. on National Geographic.
