    *******************
    An icon of 20th and 21st century music, the voice of the civil rights movement, and the undisputed Queen of Soul-there is only one Aretha Franklin. In her incredible six-decade career, Aretha evolved from teenage gospel star to reigning pop and R&B diva, recording classics like “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” “Chain Of Fools”, “Think” (lyrics by Aretha Franklin), definitive versions of the songs “Respect” and “I Say a Little Prayer”, and global hits like “Freeway Of Love,” “I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)”, and “A Rose Is Still A Rose.”
    Altogether, 112 of her singles reached the charts, with 20 No. 1 R&B singles, the most ever by a female artist. She won 18 Grammy Awards (including the first eight trophies for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance) and, out of recognition for her for indelible contribution to American music and culture, received both the Presidential Medal Of Freedom and a Pulitzer Prize.

    Saw Aretha at a little club in Philly in the 60’s. She sat at the piano, played and sang. The club held less than 50 people at individual tables. Boy, did she take off! Sistah Queen. She and I born same year!

    I grew listening to Aretha. My mother was a big fan. I comprehend the lyrics based on what mood my mom was in based on my stepfather behavior. Especially if he messed on payday (like chain a fool or me oh my😮)Back then children were only interested in dancing to the beat. As I listen to her lyrics as an adult. Aretha was romantic at heart(Daring you send me)❤)and she didn't have problem stalking a brother if need be( Until you comeback to me😅)Thanks for the great memories. There's not artist living or dead worthy of being called a QUEEN. Aretha was multitalented, classy and she wrote her own lyrics. Aretha never needed an entourage. Aretha stood alone. RIP👸🏽❤️🕊️💐🎤

      I just saw the movie too! I went through a gambit of emotions; angry when the guy went into her bedroom, also when her husband beat her, cried when she heard about MLK, Jr being shot, (still get tears when I think of him being shot) cheered her on when she kicked her husband to the curb and laughed with her as she lived in victory after healing from the pain in her life.

    After watching the movie Respect Which ushered in wonderful memories and harsh realities of the past laced with the hard to swallow darkness which many females face. I am inspired with the feelings of the power and motivation of both pessimism and optimism to do more to help make the world around me a better place with equality justice unity and peace for all. I believe God’s way is the best way. Aretha gave much, she certainly gave her all during the good bad and ugly against all odds. God in His faithfulness made all things work for the good. Yes, after watching Respect with The amazing Jennifer Hudson I have a much deeper love appreciation and respect for our Queen of soul Aretha Franklin…

She sings I'm Eleanor Rigby. I died in the church.

    There's no DOUBT, the QUEEN, but this VOICE sang with & set loose on the world, the White SOUL SISTER FROM ABERDEEN- ANNIE LENNOX.
    " SISTERS ARE DOING IT FOR THEMSELVES!"
    Years later ARETHA would call ANNIE back to the States to do ," Chain of Fools." ANNIE flew in from London & did just that.
    European singers were heavily influenced by ARETHA.
    Does anyone remember Lisa Stansfield?
    These singers today ,CANNOT hold a candle to ARETHA, but ARETHA DOESN'Tsing with just anyone; that honor was granted to ANNIE LENNOX, my favorite singer/songwriter.
    I speak as a professional recording artist myself and a fan.
