The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin passes away


I saw the sad news tonight that the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin has passed away. Rolling Stone Magazine posted this tribute mapping her remarkable life - https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/aretha-franklin-queen-of-soul-dead-at-76-119453/
But Aretha is best known to me anyway for making Matt Guitar Murphy THINK in the Blues Brothers - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGXU7268Z50

RIP Aretha!

". . . when Atlantic Records sent her down to Muscle Shoals, Alabama to record . . . "
Yup! Watch this amazing documentary! Muscle Shoals. It revisits the creation of some legendary music. Aretha, Jimmy Cliff, The Rolling Stones, Paul Simon, Traffic and many, many more.
