Aretha Franklin died yesterday of cancer.
Man that voice!
Smokey Robinson was on the phone with CNN's Don Lemon this morning (Gladys Knight was there just before him ... Lemon had a tear). He had played in the sandbox with her as 5 year olds and never left her side, until now.
I remember working weekends ~ midnight shift, stocking shelves ~ at the local supermarket when I was around 15 or 16. One of the other guys always brought his boom box to lighten up the the dreary night . . . and then there came Aretha knocking the walls down, with "Respect", and so many other songs which made one's feet move on down the Campbell Soup aisle.
