RIP, Aretha

Another one leaves us. Most think of her as a Soul Singer, which maybe isn't a preferred style for many here. But really the woman could sing anything beautifully, including the standards, and when she was with Columbia Records, she did.

She was accepted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Beautiful......she could do it all!

You shoulda heard her singin' jazz with Clark Terry, the lady could scat and improvise! She was one of the greats.

I enjoyed Aretha's work. Aretha, Ella, and Mahalia....Imagine that trio of angels!
