Others will say many things
i can only say as i knew
this lady sang her soul into my life
and with her i grew
Our first lady of soul
Aretha Franklin's great heart
was beyond all compare
r.e.s.p.e.c.t. from the start
sadly missed

I am only vaguely aware of her and I'm a bit surprised at all the coverage her death is receiving on the news channels - she obviously touched a lot of people.
Aretha was THE voice of soul music from 1960's onwards... most well know track of hers was 'Respect' .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FOUqQt3Kg0 yes she most definitely touched many with her beautiful ballsy delivery of virtually anybodies song
Wonderful tribute to a wonderful lady who is respected by all in music and beyond.
She is now singing in heaven.
Thanks Goldfinch. The spirit and emotion this lady gave us was beyond compare.
Dusk,
I totally agree with you!
Thank you for your wonderful words about the First Lady of soul!

I'm still getting the effects of anaesthetic out of my brain so my words for Aretha aren't me at my best. I really wish i could find something finer to write for her today but i can't let her last day pass without tribute.
You did a great job! Thank you for sharing!
Nicely penned tribute poem to Aretha Louise Franklin. May she rest in peace. Great write here dusk arising.
Thank you sir!
a delightful dedication and am sure many share your point of view.... N
I was a soul teenager way back when. As William Bell sang in 'tribute to a king' (Otis Redding) 'without her soul voice singing this old world dont seem the same'.
Thank you.
my pleasure, I can relate.... cheers
