Aretha Franklin - 1942 - 2018
I am so sad to hear the world has lost one of its most powerful voices.
She was always unapologetically Black, sexual, powerful, and at times, fat. This has always been one of my favorites:

May you rest in eternal peace now, Aretha Franklin! The light of the world just got dimmer & a very huge void will be left with your passing! Go sing in the heavens now, beautiful, elegant, classy lady! The music world will never be the same again! Sadly, you will be sorely missed. Fly with those angels, Aretha!!

In true Aretha fashion, she left the hospital to pass where she wanted. With those who loved her by her side.
Aretha, safe travels into the Universe- your music and your RESPECT demanding self will live on forever.

This isnt an Aretha Franklin track but I feel it is a poignant tribute to her. Rumer wrote this song to honour the comfort Aretha`s songs bought to her as she coped with a difficult childhood. A young girl walking to school drawing solace in the voice of Aretha Franklin. I`m certain very many have sought comfort in her songs, I know I have. She will be greatly missed.
"It's a very soulful ballad about a little girl who goes to school listening to Aretha Franklin on her headphones. She's having trouble at school and her mother's suffering from mental illness and she hasn't got anyone to talk to, but Aretha Franklin comes to life and encourages her and speaks to her through her imagination."
