RIP Aretha!

Loved her Rescue me song.




Interested in getting a fairly used laptop, click on my username and check the links there.
it's not her that sang rescue me. Google it. when I first heard the song on a film sound track, I thought it was her until I googled. very strikingly similar voice
Re: Aretha Franklin Is Dead! by Octaves(m): 6:06am On Aug 17, 2018
my best song of hers is her version of bridge over troubled water and it hurts like hell. even though I enjoy using her other songs like respect, never loved a man, say a little prayer, spirit in the dark chain of fools, etc to exercise my vocal range.

Look like almost all her lineage is being wiped away by various types of cancer. All three of Aretha's siblings fell to cancer.
Her brother Cecil, who was also her manager, died from lung cancer in December 1989.

Her sister Carolyn died the previous year in April 1988 from breast cancer, while eldest sister Erma passed from throat cancer in September 2002.
May God rest her soul.
and all three sisters are so talented. there was a time I checked out their vocal ranges on YouTube. they've got mad talent.

End of a glorious era. RIP, Aretha.

As sad as it is, it is even more sad to think that they're no real replacements for the greats of the last century among the current crop of mediocres occupying the media spotlight today....


Almost all of the great singers...Legends of the last century had one thing in common.... their foundation was in the church....Aretha to Whitney. There are still singers...lots of them...potential legends...presently in the church...but they are not tapped...it's a New World Order. Pick the best of today's singers...they would be put to shame in many churches.

I’m very sure I’ve got Aretha Franklin’s tunes in all my cakes grin cheesy

You're very correct!
First of, I can't get to your level cos God has so blessed me that I'm up there...so I cant be on the same level with you when I'm above you!
Secondly, your grammatical composition says it all...
Lastly, unless your brain works in reverse or counterclockwise, I expect that you understand that we're really not on the same level
