I’m still wrestling with a chest infection, but when I heard the news of Aretha Franklin’s passing, I knew I had to do a tribute post. She was a soulful lady with a mighty voice that was simply heavenly to listen to. She was a powerhouse performer and a queen of music. May this great lady rest in peace.

All the icons are going away, it seems. She was certainly one. 😕

I dreaded this as I heard she was sick as it’s a total bummer. I’ll be playing some of her music for a while. She is the Queen.
