I haven’t heard a voice yet that can touch her Falcon Soprano in her early days. I hope she pulls through but if she doesn’t I pray she go easy and rest peacefully. You are so appreciated and loved Aretha.

Not a week goes by I do not listen to at least one of her songs. Simply the greatest female singer of my life.
Peace and comfort to her, family, friends and thank you for bringing joy to millions of people around the world. |

The Queen is at home in the care of hospice. They are making sure she is comfortable for her transition.

Last Call: Aretha Franklin, an underrated pianist
Quote: |
Tributes will pour in surely, but I wanted to point out that while her voice is unparalleled, her virtuosity on the piano is severely underrated. Those who knew Franklin called her “a child prodigy” on the keys, who knew how to play fully formed, lush gospel chords without being taught how to voice them. Watch her perform with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra from 2015 and be blown away. (Go to 7:11 of video below). |

The greatest voice in American popular music has been stilled. Our beloved #ArethaFranklin has gone. For me, she was a musical lighthouse, guiding and inspiring with every note. I loved her so and love her still. Goodbye, Queen of Soul.

Same day as Elvis.
I would hope that we could take the occasion of Aretha Franklin’s passing to remember as Americans who we are and what we can be._________________ Every woman who has ever been presented with a career/sex quid pro quo in the entertainment industry should come forward and simply say, “Me, too.” - jammer The New York Times 10/10/17 |

Not religious nor an Apple fanboy but I thought this was a moving sentiment from Tim Cook.
We mourn the passing of Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul. Her voice will keep lifting us, through the music she gave the world. Our thoughts are with her family, her loved ones and fans everywhere. Take her hand, precious Lord, and lead her home. 🎶_________________ Every woman who has ever been presented with a career/sex quid pro quo in the entertainment industry should come forward and simply say, “Me, too.” - jammer The New York Times 10/10/17 |
