The Queen of Soul

lol

that was Patti Labelle

I think it's because I thought she was 75 when I was a kid in the 80's

No, she just slowed down a little then. :-)

i didn't know this until i seen this meme! i was chatting to an American friend online earlier today and sent her a video of the Stereophonics doing a cover of Aretha's "First time Ever i saw your face" weird timing!!

She's been in the news for a couple of days so I knew it was coming. I heard she was suffering from pancreatic cancer so at least she's out of her misery. Now her family has to deal with her loss. Her fans, too.

Actually, "First time ever I saw your face" was Roberta Flack's hit, not Aretha Franklin.

I did the same in the 90's when people started burning cd's! A friend gave me a copy of a "supergrass" album and for months I thought they were the best band I'd ever heard....turned out I'd been listening to "the bends", by Radiohead!! :-P Thanks for putting me right

Some years ago, my sister told me she really liked Roy Orbison. Especially the song she considered his best, "This magic moment." I hated to have to tell her it wasn't Roy doing that song, it was Jay and the Americans. But the singer sounded a little like Roy.

Never heard that song before, but if i heard it without knowing i would've thought the same! you can hear a difference, but they're very similar!

And 41 years to the day that Elvis Presley passed away

Time to rewatch. RIP, soul goddess.

This is my favorite Aretha moment. Great picture - thank you! :-)

A huge loss in the music world.

yes, a great loss, a beautiful soul, a courageous woman who was herself, with no apology. A Christian in the truest sense of the word.

may she rest well

She will be missed!

Very nice
