People in the 50s and 60s, dressed so beautifully and looked so classy.

Baby when i tell you her song "A rose is still a rose" is also my favorite song from her!!! Well it's actually the only song i listen to from her, thanks to my mom. I was 11 years old crying to this song!! I was a short chocolate fat girl with a Jerri Curl! The one boy that i liked only liked me for my snacks. While my brothers were playing with Pokemon cards, I was in the living room with my momma, in my feelings listening to this.

Chile yes. Those two are a force to be reckon with. When you've been traumatized it can make you or break you. Hurt people hurt people 💔😭😢

So sad about the rampant abuse of kids and all the things that happens in families + even in the church. Thank you for your great bios - you always do a wonderful presentation. My favorite song is « Deeper Love » because I could dance to it in the 90’s 😄 🎶

I have the utmost respect for Aretha she was a "Sanger Sanger" young to her end. My fav are: Until you come back to me, Jump (Sparkle), Jump To It (Luther on backgrounds), Rose is still a Rose, her version of Amazing Grace get the sheet and smelling salt, her voice can NEVER be matched. Who steps in for the most reverent opera singer and slays. Yet sometimes I just wonder would it any different if those with deep rooted trauma such as Aretha, Marvin, MJ, Whitney so many others were healed. What she experienced... this why parents need to healed from there own trauma and vises. Even though I don't completely blame them, because she did have destructive ways. Yet she will always be a the Queen

It's strange that, in the movie "Respect," Aretha was 10 when a man snuck into her room and also that age when her mom died of a heart attack. Then her father didn't go to his wife's funeral. Sus... Also, when Aretha was 12 she started touring with her father on the gospel circuit, and that was the same age that she got pregnant. Then her father was suddenly ok with her being promiscuous.

Flowers for Aretha! Very troubled life...her Dad was a trip and thats unfortunate smh. I'd like to see Luther Vandross get his flowers. I hear he was a bit of a Diva himself and had a long standing fued with Anita Baker. That would be a good one to cover Karine 😀

My favorite songs are "Jimmy Lee" and "I Knew You Were Waiting for Me" with George Michael. I also like a deep cut called "United Together". The air conditioner demand wasn't diva behavior tho. Singers shouldn't be sing in the cold. Those vocal cords was Aretha's bread and butter. She made sure she protected them.

Running out of time is my favorite song of hers it reminds me so much of my mom who recently passed. She also loved that song and sang it for me when I was young.

I don’t think her mom abandoned her. It was said that her mom tried to take the kids but since she was a stay at home wife and he was a pastor with money during a time where it was hard for women to live on their own, Aretha’s father threatened her. That was after her father graped and impregnated a 12 year old. Her mother also died before she had her first son

I came across your first video, around 2020 maybe when you were sitting outside in a park environment with trees, I believe, creating content. I seriously thought about posting this response before doing so, however the rabbit hole goes sooo deep your head would spin. Aretha's mother was planning on taking her away from her father's custody and was mysteriously unalived under different circumstances and it was masked as a heart attack, while I am only three minutes into your video it's public knowledge that not only had her father consistently molested her--but the first child she gave birth to is his --- Adrianna--NYC
