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!

Obviously an larger than life figure, aptly named the Queen of Soul.  May she rest in peace 
Sad to see her go. 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
true genius
heaven must be rolling in the blues today, blues with eternal soul....
If I ever get to heaven I am looking forward to hear her with Ray Charles on piano singing duets .
