Aretha Franklin Performs In Dallas To Help Poverty-Stricken

In front of a packed house at the Winspear Opera House in Dallas, legendary singer Aretha Franklin wowed the crowd with her vocal abilities that can't be replicated.

 A fundraiser was held Saturday where Franklin performed for people who helped raise money for CitySquare, an organization fighting poverty in Dallas.
 
Before the show Franklin talked with NBC 5 in an exclusive interview about on the importance of giving to those in need. 
 
β€œI think if we help each other and we support each other nobody is going to come up short,” said Franklin. β€œWe have to [help].”
 
At the age of 72, Franklin talked about her future as a performing artist and says she has no time line as to when she will retire.
 
Editor's Note: There will be a longer, more extensive interview with Ms. Franklin on NBC 5 News after Sunday Night Football.
