RIP to The Queen of Soul. She was awesome! Loved the way she placed those raspy sounds in all the right places... 100% soul!



gosh...one more....

ok... just one more... loved Aretha Franklin's performance of "Think" in the Blues Brothers movie....thus is my favorite part.... love her pink house shoes. I heard they could never get her to perform it the same way when they did different tales....lol... that's awesome...she sang it the way she felt it every time!!!!



here she a few yrs ago singing in front of Carole King, Clive Davis ad the Obamas. Incredible performance!! Carole king was being honored and she co-wrote it....You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman

RIP

Also one of my favorite lines of all time in the beginning of the scene, "...We got two honkies out there dressed like Hasidic diamond merchants.."

Her expressions and delivery in that scene were incredible. Still cracks me up no matter how many times I watch it.
