The soul of soul has gone. Thanks for all the music, Aretha.

I loved her work, both in music and in the civil rights movements. RIP

Absolutely hated her voice and living near Detroit meant seeing her sing too much. Oh they opened a new gas station, come see it sing. Oh it's a high school football game, come see it sing. Oh it's Wrestlemania III, come see it sing.

I call for Tak to handout reasonable bans/account restrictions for the disrespective comments made in this/his condolences thread. This isnt in the warroom?


reminds me of. but maybe worse!
the song he is screeching might have some mortality to it, just something I watch when I want to hate everything more.

yuck.

I had a party a few weeks ago where I had Think added to the party playlist. Love that video clip from a blues Brothers.

She fought the Big C for many years... much respect for putting up that fight. Hats off for the talent as well. RIP.

Got a bit emotional over this loss. Her singing at Obama's inauguration always gets me a bit misty.

What makes me sad is thinking about how she observed today’s America as she was leaving. Now that she’s gone, does she have insight to what our future has in store?
