So much to be said about Miss Franklin. Not enough room to say it in.
Aretha Louise Franklin was born March 25, 1942 and went home August 16, 2018.
She's been admired, studied, praised and copied and she will continue to influence future generations of performers.
She was the 1st woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
She never was contracted by Motown. Atlantic Records and Capitol Records was where the magic happened. An unbelievable catalog which SHE owned! Not some third party with an agenda.
“Do Right Woman, Do Right Man” and “I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You)” were born. “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” “Ain’t No Way,” and “Chain Of Fools” and on and on.
In life, she didn't do things by halves. So in death expect no less.
Her funeral will be in her hometown of Detroit, MI. on August 31st, 2018. I predict it will be several hours long. Whatever the length of the service, please don't invite Madonna to speak.
Rest In Power, Queen.
