A post shared by Spotify (@spotify) on Aug 16, 2018 at 7:39am PDT “When Ms. Franklin sang “Respect,”….it was never just about how a woman wanted to be greeted by a spouse coming home from work. It was a demand for equality and freedom…” REST IN PARADISE QUEEN.

And to hear of her struggle today as her body fights for life , she has asked for prayer, and so pray we will. You are a great gift @arethasings .. please know that we love you and are praying for you right now ..

We will all say a little prayer for you and your family. ❤️ RIP A post shared by SESAC (@sesac) on Aug 16, 2018 at 10:42am PDT Known universally as the #QueenofSoul, #ArethaFranklin (@arethasings) solidified her legendary status in the late 1960s with chart-topping recordings that included “Respect,” “A Natural Woman (You Make Me Feel Like),” and “Think.” During her six-decade career, she earned 44 GRAMMY nominations, 18 #GRAMMYs, and was recognized in 2008 as @MusiCares Person of the Year for her extraordinary artistic achievements and charitable efforts. She was an incomparable artist who came to be recognized as one of the most profound voices in music. ❤️?❤️ A post shared by Recording Academy / GRAMMYs (@recordingacademy) on Aug 16, 2018 at 10:17am PDT I will always remember and love Aretha Franklin. I remember @bigjimwright making me a CD of allllllll the songs that I should listen to by Aretha because no one could groove, croon, riff, belt, kill a song like Aretha. It was the Sparkle soundtrack made in 1976 to be exact. My earlier memories are of my father having Aretha’s gospel album on vinyl. Aretha is an artist that I reference all the time because of her ability to rock a church or an arena and not change who she was. I’m so glad to have had the opportunity to sing at the White House and you blew the house down there that day. You said to me “I heard you out there carrying on” and we both laughed because I wanted to take them to church that day singing When Jesus Says Yes, but school was in session because the Queen took to the stage and showed us ALL how to “carry on!” I don’t like when legends have to leave us but “When we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be!” Rest on Ms. Aretha Franklin.

I’m happy with that.” – Aretha Franklin. Rest easy, ma’am. #aretha A post shared by Brooke Ligertwood (@brookeligertwood) on Aug 16, 2018 at 12:54pm PDT LONG LIVE THE QUEEN??
