Being a relation of the famous comes with its own weird sort of curse. As the son of a popular president, the daughter of a Nobel Prize winner, or, for example, the sister of the Queen of Soul, your accomplishments and aspirations are invariably judged against the fame which preceded you. We'll likely never know whether Erma's relative obscurity was due to the comparisons to her ebullient sister, or simply to the whims and injustices of the music business, but it can be fairly said that having Aretha Franklin as a sister probably didn't make one's own ambitions as an R&B singer much easier to realize.
