I hope God doesn’t ever “Rest her Soul”. Sing on Aretha.
Long live the queen.

Update from link:
Aretha Franklin, the long-reigning "Queen of Soul" who sang with matchless style on such classics as "Think" and her signature song, "Respect," died Thursday at age 76, said her representative, Gwendolyn Quinn. The cause was advanced pancreatic cancer.

What a legend and powerhouse. She truly expressed the SOUL of America to the world and is beloved by so many around the world. Much R-E-S-P-E-C-T to her, her family, and the legacy of all her accomplishments. May GOD rest her bold and beautiful soul.

I was just driving home from the dentist. Turned on the radio, “Respect” was playing, and I thought, “she must have died.”
The song after that was also by Aretha, so then I was sure.

41 years ago today the “King” of Rock and Roll also died......

Sad day in the world of music. I remember reading here a few days ago that she was in grave condition.
She was from an era where there were true "divas", not these phony wannabees today who have to rely on auto-tune in order to sound better than a braying donkey.
A band I was in used to play several of her her tunes, including the obvious hits. One of my favorites, though, never made it that big: Tighten Up Your Tie, Button Up Your Jacket (Make It For The Door).

Ahhhhhhhh d@$%@*!
This really sucks. She’s one of those that you always feel glad to hear that they were still touring and selling out venues.
Keith Richards still survives, though.

One of a kind talent! Loved her.
