Aretha Franklin 1942-2018

Voice of an angel our wonderful queen of soul sending out her amazing message of respect to build a freeway of love her ultimate goal, I knew you were waiting (for me), without neglect, she'd say a little prayer, with amazing Grace she thought Dr. Feelgood was young gifted and black mend a bridge over troubled waters, or replace, melodic vocal power showed in every track, this is just my tribute, my small way of thanking this natural woman, god bless Aretha Franklin.

Great tribute Roy - I loved all her music and that unmistakeable voice. Very fitting. One quick question- please can you tell me the secret to importing a picture, such as Arerhas above a poem. Best, Dennis
