She's the best! The undisputed Queen of Soul. Here's the video. YouTube - Inauguration Aretha Franklin Inauguration Musical 2009
Here's another ditty that always comes to mind when Aretha is on stage: YouTube - Aretha, Sing One for Me - George Jackson
A living national treasure whose work is a valuable contribution to American culture. She's already in the history books.
Her work in the 60's just towers above anything ever since. It's why Rolling Stone named her the best singer ever.
Was very sorry to hear on the news this evening that she has Pancreatic Cancer! I hope she can beat the odds!
Awk! Miss Thing has pancreatic cancer?! Tell me it's not true. Please! I was sitting in Cafe Madeleine on Avenida Santa Fe this morning, which is a major hang out for uppity gay society in BsAS. While sucking down a cappuccino Love on the Freeway played on a giant HD TV screen (VH1) and my eyes welled up with tears of joy as she wailed on about "making love in a BIG PINK Cadillac!" Miss Thing simply cannot die! That would be one of the signs of the Apocalypse, for sure!
