Damn. RIP Queen. Sing another duet when you meet up with George again on the other side of veil, great lady. :cry:

And the river was deep I didn't falter
When the mountain was high, I still believed
When the valley was low it didn't stop me
I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting for me

When you're a genuinely nice person and great talent people tend to treat you with alot more love and R-E-S-P-E-C-T than if you were just a great talent who qualified as an as*h*le.

RIP Aretha. [B-o]

An absolutely unique and powerful voice. So talented and soulful. She will be missed but her music will live forever.

I saw a great clip of her when she first fell ill a few days ago. It's from the 1998 Grammys. Luciano Pavrotti was scheduled to perform but called in sick at the last minute. With less than two hours notice or practice, Aretha comes out and belts out Nessun Dorma as only she could.

In the past, many of the great singers like Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha were what my aunt would call 'no oil paintings'. Nowadays there's so much emphasis on good looks for the videos, e.g. Ariana Grande, you'd wonder whether these incredibly talented singers would have made it today. I guess Adele managed it so maybe there is hope yet.
