I used to long to sing like her and was so sad that I didn’t. Then my husband pointed out that, at her level of excellence, I was being absurd. I might as well say I’m jealous of Michelangelo because I can’t sculpt like him. There’s no shame in not singing like Aretha. Nobody sings like Aretha.
Thank God for her talent, and that it was shared with the world.
Rest in Peace.

May she Rest in Peace but I wish she hadn’t paid the bond for Communist Angela Davis. Her father was against but Aretha, strong will, went ahead and did it.

RIP, dear lady...always loved you!

So sad. She was a great artist. I was at the FAME studios last year where she recorded some of her early stuff. When they were talking about her time there, they mentioned that she'd flopped badly before recording there. Apparently, prior to her time at FAME, they didn't know what to do with her. Afterwards, it was history.I have several of her tunes in my playlist. Time to queue it up. Some of what I have is pretty obscure.

Died on the 41st anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death. He died? I just saw him at a Las Vegas lounge a couple of months ago.
