The Queen of Soul is in Hospice Care (Update: RIP, Aretha)
Quote | Reply
Aretha Franklin, one of the greatest soul singers -- nay, one of the greatest singers -- of all time is listed in grave condition and has been in hospice care for a week.

"In February 2017, Franklin announced she was retiring from touring and would be spending time with her family and working on a few projects. A few months later, Franklin performed at the Detroit Music Weekend, where she gave a moving, celebratory concert while appearing frail in health. She ended by telling the crowd, “God bless you, God keep you. Keep me in your prayers.”"

Nobody could belt out a R&B tune like her. This is probably my all time favorite Aretha song.

You weren't considered a great R&B or Soul singer until you covered a song that had already been done by Aretha Franklin, that's for sure.

The Queen of Soul has died at age 76. She was truly one of the greatest, not only in Motown but around the world. Gospel, Soul, R&B... none of it was hard for her and her list of timeless classics is seemingly endless. RIP, Aretha Franklin. :-(
