Queen Of Soul Aretha Franklin has 44 GRAMMY nominations and 18 wins to her name, winning her very first in the '60s at the 10th GRAMMY Awards.

By 1972, she'd racked up a few more, but that didn't stop her from looking delighted as she took home the golden gramophone for Best R&B Vocal Performance, Female for her classic cover of "Bridge Over Troubled Water."
