I love the way Aretha spoke. Intelligent articulate and focused. She knew what she wanted to say and she said it with verbal precision. Since her passing, I've learned so much about her to admire, things I never knew while she still walk this Earth as we do

All of her songs have that triumphant, transcendent feeling to them! They just make everyone happy! Love this lady forever! Long live the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin!

Wow, What a pioneer, she put in work, nothing phony or watered down with this woman...RIP Aretha

RIP Aretha. Thanks for the wonderful memories. God gave you to us as a blessing for many years. Now, He has called you home!

She'd always have this healing effect on me for over 55 years now. Even remember hearing respect on the radio the first time in '67. Bought the record same day! On the flipside was Dr. Feelgood which was just as hot as respect.. From that moment on l was her fan and always bought everything fom her. She lives on, in love..💗

You defied the turmoil of the 60' s.Cevil rights,Viet- Nam war,etc.You established your kingdom under fire.RIP🇨🇺🇨🇺🇺🇸🇺🇸🇨🇺🇺🇸💮🌹🌹🌹🏵️

I think we will be shedding a few tears for a while. This woman touched our soul and became an intricate part of who we are, this is why we mourn her as we do. She is truly our Mom, sister auntie friend and as she would say the lady next door. RIHP dear heart, my forever Queen, Queen of our hearts and the undisputed Queen of Soul. You are eternal, for as long as man shall live so shall your legacy we love you and miss you always and that's for ever and a day.

Oh hell yes! Unspeakably beautiful!!! Indeed!!! :-)

When one is eulogized ..its always about their legacy..the good life they led.This is not about her father..its all about Aretha's life. She truly earned her crown. BTW...GOD sent His son Jesus to save sinners...not the self-righteous!

R.i.p.

You will be missed

5:50😂

Where is the rest??!!

Wheres part 3

It may be a lot of not so good things people said about her father. So what people also talked bad about JESUS CHRIST. The day we enter the pearly gates to HEAVEN it will only be one judge. So regardless of what people say it don't matter. Only GOD himself will be judging and it's only up to him.

Are those instant grits? Are they regular or el-dente?

Why do so many people praise her father? There are so many very bad reports about him and his church.

Freddie Davis That’s good enough for me too Freddie. All of his children spoke very highly of him and they didn’t negate his faults either.

Do you know facts presented by the leading Chinese investment channel 57 yesterday....The period between mid Aug and Sep there is a 80% occurrence of gold price bull run based on historical records on gold prices. The experts on the program everyone to buy gold and silver immediately. Yes buy silver futures or cfds for more massive upside. Japan has the biggest retail pool of forex and cfds traders. They account for 40% of retail cfds and forex volume. Millions of these cfds traders in Japan shifted to crypto trading last year and they being late in the game lost big money. Now they are returning to cfds trading, attracted by the silver price play. They are rushing to buy long on silver under fifteen dollars.

The thing that really saddens me is that Aretha never got control of her weight. It was up and down but mainly up. I think that contributed to her many health problems.

Do you have everything in your life under control, do you not have any habits,as humans we all have something in our lives we wish we could change for the better, so think about that the next time you make negative judgements towards anyone and take Michael Jackson advice and start with the man in the mirror.

She was almost 80 when she passed. We should all be so lucky, heavy or not.

Aretha was the Elvis/Jimi Hendrix/ Beatles of singing what i mean is you couldn’t figure how she could do it.She was kind of magical and everyone else just sucked and seemed kind of mediocre. There are people like that

Diane Sawyer seemed so arrogant...I could never stand her💯

No disrespect to Aretha she is the Soul Queen, and I love her music, but in the larger world of the past 70 years music many of her Sisters matched or passed her in range and tone such as Sarah Vaugn, Ella, Whitney, Gladys Knight, Billie Holliday .......just trying to level this out we are blessed with all
