Unless you've been under a rock somewhere, a premier artist, musical royalty has passed. Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul. I was surprised no one posted anything here (yet).
She was a major foundation of gospel, soul and r & b during most of our lives and influenced MANY musical artists.
Here is a song that influenced me as a teenaged boy, "*I* want a girl like THAT."
