    She was an amazingly talented artist. The dexterity it takes to play and sing is a feat in itself but she also played by ear as good as and even better than many people who can read music. This means her talent and her ear were natural and intuitive. She also never stopped honing her craft. All the way to the end she was learning and perfecting different techniques and skills and constantly growing and changing as an artist.

    Thanks for finding this and posting. Incomparable is not a good enough word to describe Aretha Franklin. Aretha is other worldly, from the heavens.

      That`s the very same thing Smokey Robinson said about Aretha "other worldly".

    That's a woman's anthem when she stressing to a man you know you lie.. I love Aretha and her music but she goes all in like a women's movement about to start at anytime now.😂❤❤❤. I love our Black Sisters. They can unite together faster than a speeding train and more powerful than a locomotive and able to to reach a man in a single bound
