Aretha Franklin's gift of music speaks for itself. Her music lives on. She does not have to suffer longer in ill health. She will be missed.

I knew she was the Queen Of Soul when Steely Dan said so, in Hey 19. I'm too young to remember Aretha back in her prime in the 60's, to me, her prime was in the 1980's. Her performance in The Blues Brothers was fantastic with the song Think, and her 80's hits like Freeway of Love, and Who's Zoomin' Who were a good fit for the 80's. I like the last big hit she had with George Michael, whom we lost back in 2016.

RIP Aretha Franklin.

The greatest pipes of all time. Her voice was a force of nature. Like a volcano.
