The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin passes away

I saw the sad news tonight that the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin has passed away. Rolling Stone Magazine posted this tribute mapping her remarkable life - https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/aretha-franklin-queen-of-soul-dead-at-76-119453/
But Aretha is best known to me anyway for making Matt Guitar Murphy THINK in the Blues Brothers - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGXU7268Z50

RIP Aretha!

It would be great to see and hear people based on their talent, like Ella was, instead of what we have nowadays with everything being focus group tested. Her voice was a gift we all shared. All the best, Nonoise
