I have a few of her albums and they still get played every now and then. Sheer quality. America has lost a little bit of its soul today

Tragic; I have always loved her appearance in the Blues Brothers. Just classic.

I have always held a soft spot for her even before my music tastes had matured to fully appreciate her just because we share the name of Franklin!

Aretha Franklin was a wonder. Much missed.

Respect was a song that crossed boundaries. You couldn't help but respect Ms. Franklin.

 

[BAYLOR]

She was one of the greats. R.I.P

 

[Stephen Palmer]

Amazing voice, and attitude, did lots for civil rights.
RIP.
