Queen of Soul is gone

[Fatdog]

I'm sure by now we have heard the news that Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul, has died. I am sure I heard her on the radio as a kid, but her scene in the Blue Brothers movie was the first time I remember seeing her. My dad took me to see the movie when it came out in 1980.

The word legend is pinned on too many people but Aretha Franklin was the real deal.

This is how i most remember her, in the blues brothers, that was a great movie, born in memphis, but she was a true detroiter.

Just as Bobby stated about the movie The Blues Brothers I was a young buck when I saw the movie and I got hooked on her energy!!

Most of her B-sides are truly gems and this sister will always be the Queen of Soul - Rhythm & Blues!!!!!


Here's something special from this beautiful person!!!!!
