    Queen of Soul' Aretha Franklin dies, aged 76

    Aretha Franklin has died, aged 76.
    A publicist for the US singer said the ‘Queen of Soul’ passed away on Thursday at her home in Detroit, Michigan.
    Franklin had more than 20 US number one hits over a career that spans back to 1952.
    Known for hits like ‘Respect,’ ‘Think’ and ‘Chain of Fools,’ she gave her final performance November 2017 at a New York gala in aid of the Elton John Aids Foundation.

    Gospel sound is where Aretha started.. Old school Gospel sounds I get and feel.. It's a black thing and it's got it's own sound.. I love it...

    Fast forward half way through this video below if you don't wanna hear the story and listen, listen to this old women sing.. The song picks up.. I approve!!! Touch me lord Jesus!!! I don't expect you boys to really get this but the feel is there.

    Man, we all mourn different ways.

    Venom is taking this one pretty hard, lashing out.

    Take care Venom.

    Respect, Say a Little Prayer, let's appreciate her message and be thankful she is no longer suffering here in this world and have hope that she is in peace with the Lord.

    Nah im not taking it hard, its just stupid to talk shit bout a good person that actually brought something good(in the form of great music) to this world, that died of cancer, saying they "gave up" or "she was fat" like wtf?? Why even bother saying that shit??? Anyways though i agree with everything else you said bro

    Hey, I also like white Gospel as well. I start off my day listening to this every morning.. It gets me going in the right direction and frame of mind daily.. This is good gospel stuff right here... Aretha might even approve of this... This old bald white dude gets it going!!!!!
