Aretha Franklin (1942-2018)

[Eric]

The Queen of Soul has passed this morning. I understand that this stuff is inevitable, and I try to comment on every single passing, but some people (Aretha in particularly) really make their mark on society. They don't just blend in. They are a gift. Aretha stands out not only in the incredible Detroit music scene, but in the American music community. Class, style, and a voice that was second to none.

Condolences to her family. Society will be treasuring your wife/daughter/sister for many MANY more years.

And to lighten up the mood a bit, honestly once I get past the recognition of her amazing voice, this is the second thing I think of when I think of Ms. Franklin...

Rest in peace, Queen.

As I said in the other thread about this, two songs of her's that are my absolute favorite are Say a Little Prayer and Until You Come Back to Me.

She made the most of her time here on earth. RIP....

She will always be part of the soundtrack of my life. R.I.P. Aretha.
