Aretha Franklin

Yesterday the Queen of Soul transitioned. Aretha Franklin had such a beautiful, powerful voice. I remember every time on tv she walked on stage whether it was for the Kennedy Center Honors with President Obama in the audience or hundreds of her fans, she commanded "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" with her very pressence and gave you goosebumps when she sang. Thanks for sharing your gifts!
