*******************
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.

[@aadderley]

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!

[@Mehki227]

She already said she sang better when she sat and played the piano.

Aretha has been a great vocalist for a very long time and has inspired many people to do things that they thought they couldn't

[@sanctuary70]

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.

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.

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👸🏽❤️🕊️💐🎤

And I am celebrating along with you. Lady Aretha has always and will forever be my go to Lady of song. As a young girl my Aunt Icie would invite me to spend the weekend and what a treat. Ice cream, potato chips, and hot dogs were our drugs of choice. I was the DJ. She would wash and braid my hair and let me play as many 45s as I wanted. I would sometimes fall asleep at the record player. She’s been gone for decades but I will forever remember just how special she treated me. I’ve learned that nothing in life remains the same. We have our music.... it’s universal and it lives on as do our memories.

Hello Gwennyth..

[@jlusk999]

What lovely memories Gwennyth. It's funny how little things like that which happen to us as children make such a huge and lifelong impression on us and shape who we become later in life.

[@arianagm2332]

Am I the only one that hears Michael Jackson when I listen to her for long enough?! He had to listen to her a lot! Man what an era. How sad is it that we're still struggling with so much that they fought so hard for?! ❤️💔❤️

Mama Aretha Franklin my queen.

[@wynonajohnson3937]

Aretha was just ONE of the best of ALL the musicians in the world. I never get tired of listening to her or Tina Turner💖💖💖

[@dorlisabryant1479]

Regretting that I let an opportunity to see her "Live" go past. Our true music legends are leaving us. I will try to not that happen again. I am thankful for memories of listening to her on the radio as a young girl and repeating some lyrics I had no idea of its meaning. It was funky and so beautiful, so I guess my mother let it slide. Rest well, Queen. You still reign!

Love way back Mrs queen &always will. I usually 💎 to 🍻 and start my own memory's of listening to her. Well worth listening 👂 to the 👑 of soul

[@DrKim-ul1qr]

Ree Ree with the Rah Rah! I love her voice, phrasing and the way she can work a song! She can even hum better than some vocalist sing. She was a true genius. She could write, arrange, produce and orchestrate. She could deliver a song in a unique way. No wonder very few attempted to sing her songs while she was here. She made it seem so easy. But she's hard to imitate. Undisputed Queen of Soul! RIP!

[@valleriewesco716]

Miss Aretha Franklin was the Queen of Soul. May You Rest in Peace. I thank GOD for you. There was every one else and then was Miss Franklin. She's singing in Heaven's Choir.

Enjoyed the movie Respect. Jennifer did a great job as well as the other cast members. I will see it again and again. aAretha was my favorite artist of all time. I had just graduated high school in 1967 and have been a fan all these years. She was also one of my Honorary Delta sorority sisters.

Ms, Aretha Franklin an Original! Singing in the Heavens above! She earned the Title of Queen of Soul. We love you Ms. Franklin. Thank you for the memories. I’ve listened to her songs since childhood! Had a record collection. Every Saturday morning we played her records . I’m 70 s years young. No one comes close to her talent. Notice, I said records. That’s old technology but was still Enjoyable.
