Aretha is a cave creature who sings along with Gobo on "Only Way Home" in Fraggle Rock Episode 209: Sir Hubris and the Gorgs. Soul singer Sharon Lee Williams performed Aretha's voice for this song; Aretha's name is a reference to Aretha Franklin.
Possessing orange eyes, protruding teeth, and a moving brow, Aretha was reused in many subsequent productions, in both male and female roles: as a female chorus member in The Muppet Christmas Carol, a townsperson in Muppet Treasure Island, and a member of the Flying Monkeys motorcycle gang in The Muppets' Wizard of Oz.
