One of the most subtle yet iconic reads of my lifetime. She will be deeply missed!

Aretha is the first woman to be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame. A powerhouse of talent. RIP

May she rest in peace. She was a true icon who managed to be entertaining not only on the stage but also off the stage. She's got a ton of legendary interviews.

Not just the Queen of Soul but the Queen of Music. Started playing some of Amazing Grace (God Will Take Care Of You) as I was waiting to get off the plane and didn't want to cry, so I had to stop. Such a fucking legend. Incomparable. She is home now.

WOW. Never seen this! She was so damn funny and quick-witted. I was hoping and expecting it would be her on Wendy's show shading the fuck out of Wendy the whole time, but she seemed like she had a genuinely good time with Wendy.

I was reading this thread earlier and I had to relive the fax she sent to the AP about Dionne. Let's relive this again:

What a talent. Damn. Even at the end she was killing it. Such a loving grandma, too. God bless her and her family.

Amazing Grace is one of the best albums ever made. Young, Gifted, and Black is also up there. Those vocals. I legit cannot understand. I don't even feel I can mourn because a) I truly believe she is at peace in Heaven and her body doesn't hurt any more and b) she left such a ridiculously amazing legacy and catalog of music tnat will be cherished forever and ever. At least, no one waited for her death to canonize her. She was given her crown pretty much at the onset - proving that she was the true Queen. What a powerful Black woman!

Patti's voice was everything here. Look at Aretha's face. Wow.

It's interesting that despite her legendary status and decades worth of hits, she only had a handful of Top 10 albums on the Billboard albums chart.

Actually this one is more epic: poor Diana anyway thank God Patti saved us from that mess Jesus what a hot mess. This is why I'll never fawn over Patti Labelle. This is why I'll forever favor Diana who is dainty, a lady and knows how to act in a group performance; she may not have Labelle's vocal power, but she uses what she has amazingly well and always will be the bigger artist and star (but that's beside the point). Oh well, at least Patti didn't serve a "Isn't It A Shame" mess there! Anyways, back on topic - I love how this remains Aretha's last performance in the eyes of the GP (I don't think the average Joe ever caught up on her vocal deterioration). Truly a phenomenal moment that got her a rightful standing ovation.

That was performance was in the midle of her vocal decline and I remember thinking it would be a hot ass mess, but it was amazing.

I find it hard to believe that she had no will. She's been sick for a long time.
