RIP. She’ll be missed.

Forty years ago, she would regularly visit a Texas death row inmate. Don’t know if he was a relative or what but he was an old timer who was at Attica. She was polite and nice to the inmates and the guards. A kind lady.

I was never a fan, but she was important in her time. They'll probably work Aretha's death into the new old and fat Murphy Brown reboot rehash.

RIP. Never a big fan of hers but her performance in The Blues Brothers was one of the best seen in any performance format, let alone movies. It really carried the show IMHO.

Queen of Soul is a moniker she earned and deserves. Anybody who listened to the radio in the 1960s and 70s knows this to be true. RIP Ms. Franklin.

One of the greats. Not many like her today. She’ll be missed.

She had an incredible voice. Nearly perfect control. My voice instructor told me once that what he loved about her was that she wasn’t a show off. She simply sang a song how she thought it should sound and if that involved doing something impossible for us mere mortals so be it.
