RIP Aretha Franklin

I read a few days ago that she was gravely ill, but it's now being reported she passed away this morning.

Wow. That is sad.

Just heard it on the radio here. The queen of soul died at age 76, too young.

Saw the news yesterday that she was very ill. Unfortunate.

A true legend and gone way too early. I am a huge Eric Clapton fan and he has said one of his proudest moments was playing on an Aretha album in 1967.

There was a reason why they called he the "Queen of Soul", just listen to her songs!..RIP

She really was the queen. Terrible news.

She died the same day that Elvis did.

Yes. This. A gift to music.

Wondered why my random setting popped up A Little Less Conversation (Elvis) followed by Respect this morning. Man the house band in the afterlife is just getting more and more awesome.
