Aretha Franklin, came into this world March 25, 1942 in Memphts, TN and assented August 16, 2018.in Detroit MI.  Her music span the genre’s  of Gospels. R&B, Soul, Pop and Jazz.  Aretha’s death came as a surprise to some and to other it wasn’t. A lot of people knew that it was coming.

I say God takes them in threes. When Aretha, Senator John McCain and former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan all died around the same time, weeks apart I look for answers and realized that they all had an innocent looking face that knows. Aretha is in good company.

Aretha Franklin had the voice of an angel. It was distinguish and no one could  mistake it for another. When you see her footage’s they look sensational. Grace and dignity is what she’s all about and then you hear that voice,  power house; pack with reliant and confident and showed a face of genuineness.  Smokey Robinson said it best, he knew since Aretha was nine years old, that she would become someone to be reckoned with.

Her fashion statements were statements one had to pay attention when she walks onto a stage. Weather its her gown, her hair or her hats they were gonna be talked about long after she leaves the stage.   Yes, her presents made the day which is why she “The Queens of Soul” got a day long funeral send off. No one surrounding her along with friends and fans was going to miss her send off which was in style, as it should be nothing less.

The Queen of Soul, was here for a short time but she blessed us for eternity. her music will lives on through the ages for generations to come. Yes,  she was also one of the best/a creme of the crop that the music industry had to offer. Stellar! comes to mind when one thinks about who she was.  The Queen of Soul is merely resting but she lives. She was heaven sent.

Mrs. Franklin left behind four children : Teddy Richards, Kecalf Cunningham, Clarence Franklin and Edward Franklin.

Spouse: Glynn Tunman and Ted White. RIP
