    RIP the Queen of Soul

    Aretha Franklin passed away this morning at the age of 76.

    May she ride in her Pink Cadillac on the Freeway Of Love.

    Too bad she lost her fight to cancer. She was a legend in her own time. RIP

    She was one of a kind. Definitely will be missed.

    An icon of my youth. I don't want to get too Madonna about it, and make it all about me. But I always thought the whole "Queen of Soul" thing was a bit of A&R hype, something Jerry Wexler might have thought up, and the story behind it would be really cool to know.

    Still, it stuck and for a pretty good reason. The lady knew how to wail, a natural woman for sure, totally worthy of respect. There was no one else on her level, and she broke a lot of ground for those who came afterward.
