Favorite song? Mine's probably "Think."

She is right there with Bessie Smith, Billie Holliday and Ella Fitzgerald when it comes to the greatest Afro American female vocalists. Like those I mentioned she made a huge impact on the music world.
I was mixing her with other soul icons James Brown, Solomon Burke, Percy Sledge, Otis Redding just a few days ago. Love that genre.

“Until you come back to me” I can listen to over and over and over again.

Didn't see it was pancreatic cancer til reading this. That's a death sentence. She may as well have done a farewell tour right when she got the news; gone out on her terms.

“Franklin's music quickly climbed the iTunes charts Thursday, with her "30 Greatest Hits" album reaching the No. 1 spot, replacing Nicki Minaj's new album "Queen." (https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2018/08/10/nicki-minaj-releases-new-album-queen/955722002/)”

I get that it's a classy person vs. a narcissist. But I still don't know that I have a dog in the fight. At least Nicki has a nice ass, tbh.

My comment wasn’t really a commentary on Minaj. But more to the title of her album, “Queen”.
But it does add a little something that it is NM.

Aretha Franklin was a giant in the world of music. Her contribution as a singer and pianist was incredibly great and will be deeply missed. There is no debate when you’re talking about “The Queen Of Soul.”
