[@runeigh91]

I love Aretha's voice more than anyone else's but what really gets to me is her amazing phrasing. It's not just the notes she hits but also where she sings in the song and how her emphasis on a particular word or syllable influences the emotion conveyed. I can be as happy as anything with not a care in the world but when her voice slightly breaks at "some love and care", it chokes me up.

[@WalterAbero]

The same thing happens to me, her voice reaches your soul, for something she will always be the Queen 👑

Mrs Franklin needed to have the room heated to keep her vocal cords warm. It's why in her later years she would perform with a fur coat on stage, she hated to be cold.

[@guillermogitz2224]

You're right!! But at her father's funeral she asked for the air conditioning to be put off so as to sing as appropiatelly and beautifully as she always did.
