#REPOST @eltonjohn with @get_repost__app The loss of Aretha Franklin is a blow for everybody who loves real music: Music from the heart, the soul and the Church. Her voice was unique, her piano playing underrated – she was one of my favourite pianists… https://t.co/qbYR1z9KIn https://t.co/SP1wtFuNKN

Piano player? Fuck yeah! Watch the second video in this clip. It brought Carole King to tears and she wrote the song…
Aretha Franklin, Queen of Soul, Dead at 76
“Dubbed the Queen of Soul in 1967, Franklin loomed over culture in several monumental ways. The daughter of a preacher man, she was born with one of pop’s most commanding and singular voices, one that could move from a sly, seductive purr to a commanding gospel roar. From early hits like “I Never Loved a Man” and “Think” up through later touchstones like “Sisters Are Doin’ it for Themselves” with Eurythmics, there was no mistaking Franklin’s colossal pipes. As one of her leading producers, Jerry Wexler, said of her simmering gospel-pop classic, “Spirit in the Dark,” “It was one of those perfect R&B blends of the sacred and the secular … It’s Aretha conducting church right in the middle of a smoky nightclub. It’s everything to everyone.” Source: https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/aretha-franklin-queen-of-soul-dead-at-76/ar-BBM0Hau?li=BBnb7Kz

Aretha Franklin dead: Watch how she stole the Blues Brothers film with her sass?

“Aretha Franklin wasn’t dubbed the Queen of Soul for nothing – but the late singer was also the Queen of the classic 1980 Blues Brothers film, thanks to her standout scene in which she sang Think in an apron and slipper.
The scene was one of several that featured high profile musicians at the time – others in the film included Ray Charles, John Lee Hooker and James Brown – and it saw Franklin’s Mrs Murphy tell her husband he had to ‘think about the consequences’ if he does decide to walk out on her and their business.” Source: https://metro.co.uk/2018/08/16/remember-aretha-franklin-stole-blues-brothers-film-sass-7848515/

no doubt that Twitter has made a lot of great improvements over the past year but there's one more thing that has to change: we need Twitter handles that are longer than 14 characters. Make that one change and Twitter will be perfect! pic.twitter.com/pqvMwfbMR5
