Default Restful Peace
May Her Soul forever rest easy . . .

My favorite song was smooth and easy, as like the Restful Peace I wish upon Her:

God rest her soul. Condolences. Her roots were in the church. She sang as though trying to rouse listeners from a Sunday morning church service.

I'm sorry to hear about the passing of Aretha Franklin. Also, she lived a very accomplished life and left the world some really great music that will endure forever.

Plus, in addition to some of the songs already mentioned, here are a few more of my favorite Aretha songs.

Aretha Franklin - Day Dreaming

Aretha Franklin - You Are All I Need To Get By

Cause we got our love and some R-ah-E-S-P-E-C-T ohh!

Voted greatest voice of all time. Not sure I agree with that, although she was very good.
RIP
