What a joy to have heard her for so long!

 

Yes, sad to see her passing. She, Lena Horne (Cleveland) and Billie Holiday are reported to be a trio in Heaven. Can't wait. Maybe it is not too late to start being nice.

 

Pancreatic cancer. RIP Aretha.

That would be so much better than harp music at the pearly gates.

 

Touche.

Add Ella Fitzgerald to the list of greats. Lena had too short a life.

 

Aretha Franklin brought a lot of class to everything she did. I loved her performance in the 1980 movie The Blues Brothers.

Her part in the entire movie was about 5 min and was one of the most memorable parts of the movie. Hard to figure that movie was released in 1980 38 years ago.
