Default RIP Queen of Soul

Aretha Franklin will be remembered for an unbelievable career bringing her music into our lives.

Sorry to hear this. She was a wonderfully gifted artist. I enjoyed her music very much.

She was one of a kind. An amazing woman. The world will not soon see another like her.

I saw her in concert a couple of years ago. She still had it.

I will miss Aretha being in the world. Her music has been a part of my entire adult life.

My baby danced in her playpen to Aretha on the big stereo singing —

“R-E-S-P-E-C-T” and “Chain of Fools”

It was my baby who took me to that concert to see Aretha, for my birthday — not that long ago.

I too, am terribly sad that she suffered so much in her last years and will miss her amazing talent.

For those who subscribe to Sirius XM, channel 49 has dedicated today to playing Aretha Franklin’s music.

Absolutely!

Those of us women who are "of an age" can certainly relate.

When I came home as a teenager from my job at Shoprite, N.J’S answer to Publix minus the cleanliness and friendliness my Mom would have Aretha cranked up which meant it was house cleaning day. The only problem was it was on 8 Track and looped over and over and over but just another happy memory shook loose courtesy of TOTV’S.

Same loop for 8 to 10 hours was a bit much. Sorry Mom!
