Aretha Franklin 1942-2016
Adrastos at First Draft has a nice remembrance while the BBC doesn’t forget to include a formal obituary.
The Queen of Soul took songs written by or for others and made them hers. Otis Redding could never top her version of his song, “Respect”, and Carol King lost “A Natural Woman” to the Queen.
She was only in one movie, The Blues Brothers, but she laid down my favorite version of “Think”.
She is missed.
