The world has lost another one.  Ms Franklin with her beautiful voice and sassy attitude will truly be missed.A pioneer who brought the soulfulness of gospel music from the Black church to mainstream music. Her voice is part of America's soundtrack and made a President weep.   Rest in peace

    ...sadly, pretty much was expecting to hear this after I read about her health situation last week.

    Heartbreaking.  A ledgendary queen of soul.  I remember when I was in junior high, I listened to Motown all the time and had every 45 rpm record she came out with.  I'd load the spindle up on the Hi-Fi and listen over and over. What a voice..

    Singing for the King alone now.

    'Until You Come Back To Me' has been one of my favorite songs ever, ever since I was a little girl. RIP Aretha.
