I'm sure by now we have heard the news that Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul, has died. I am sure I heard her on the radio as a kid, but her scene in the Blue Brothers movie was the first time I remember seeing her. My dad took me to see the movie when it came out in 1980.

Just as Bobby stated about the movie The Blues Brothers I was a young buck when I saw the movie and I got hooked on her energy!!

Most of her B-sides are truly gems and this sister will always be the Queen of Soul - Rhythm & Blues!!!!!


Here's something special from this beautiful person!!!!!

The word legend is pinned on too many people but Aretha Franklin was the real deal.
Rest in peace sis.
I can't say it much better than this, RIP Aretha.

I also was introduced to her in the Blues Brothers at a young age
I think the only movie she ever appeared in
but so grateful she did and made me a fan
RIP
