“A Rose Is Still a Rose” is a 1998 single written and produced by Lauryn Hill and recorded and released by singer Aretha Franklin off the album of the same name.
The video features Franklin, Hill and other female R&B singers such as Faith Evans, Changing Faces, and Amel Larrieux and featured Elise Neal in the video as the protagonist. Released in 1998, the song became a surprise hit for Franklin, 40-plus years into her career, reaching number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number-five on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart while also reaching the UK top 40.
The Queen of soul passed on yesterday at the age of 76 where she was surrounded by family and friends. There will be a special memorial service on Tuesday in her home town of Detroit which is expected to be attended by thousands around the world.
