The Queen has gone to heaven. Going to be some amazing music up there now.
 
I just blasted Think loud on my iPhone. There will never be another like her.
I was going through her catalog yesterday. The reports earlier in the week were not good. I don’t think anyone can come close to replicating her voice. There is a reason she was the queen.
 
I had read earlier in the week that she was unwell, and a report yesterday said that she had received visits from old friends while in a hospice, which suggested that the outcome would not be positive.

A great artist with flair, integrity and soul and style. A superb singer and classy lady.
 
I was just watchin her the other day, singin in the snack bar in the Blues Brothers film.
 
Aretha Franklin. Respect! For her soul.
She will return, moving on, in some way or the other.
She's not dead, just in metamorphosis.
 
I'd been expecting her death for awhile now, but it still comes as a shock. Sad that we won't get to see any more live performances from her or hear a new album. We'll have to make due with the amazing legacy she left behind. My favourite music blogger put up a great mix of her covering other peoples songs. She took them and made them her own.
