Re: Aretha Franklin has passed

RIP Aretha Franklin Queen of Soul.  I will never forgot when you stood in at the last minute for Luciano Pavarotti when he was sick; I was never an opera lover but what you did was beautiful and me like other people in the audience were misty eyed by the time you finished.   I'm sorry I never got to see this great talent live.  I am also grateful that she was able to keep her illness private from the paparazzi the lengths they go to to get that photo when celebrities are dying is so inhumane.

Thanks @Mz iMac I listen to it occasionally on Youtube I'm at work so my ugly cry and this project I am trying to finish will not go together too well.

I was introduced to Aretha Franklin as a 5 year old in Detroit thanks to CKLW Radio (AM station in Windsor Ontario).

 

Aretha, thank you for the artistry and the honesty in your songs.

Rest in Peace

@Mz iMac  Thanks.  That worked.  That song always gives me goose bumps.
