Yes, I have been feeling pretty bummed today...
Thankfully, I was able to see her perform many years ago; she put on a fabulous show! And we'll always be able to listen to her recordings.
Although I'm sad, I'm also happy that she was here and I was able to witness her talent.
There's a new singer in the heavenly choir!...R.I.P.

Sucks. Matt "Guitar" Murphy from that famous Blues Brothers scene with her also passed away recently in June.
I just read on Monday that doctors ordered her to stay home from any tours. Illness must have been further along. Sad day.

Cancer of the pancreas. Very low survival rate. Moves fast and shows no mercy. It is what got Patrick Swayze. It's what got my sister----diagnosis, 4 months of suffering, then its over.
This is the kind of stuff you’ll find at the pinnacle of Western culture:
RIP to a genuine one of a kind talent, we probably won’t hear anyone else this uniquely great in our lifetimes.
Quoted from Gryszzz:Cotton I'm sorry about your sister. It took my Aunt too, but that's not like a sister. Sorry for your loss bud.
Thanks. It's all cool. She been gone for 32 years. The sting of the loss has long past.
Quoted from Tuna_Delight:Some final classic Aretha for the night:
Thanks; I really needed that.
Man, she could really bring it, couldn't she?
