Look at the joy on the face of Aretha Franklin as she records one of her many hit songs.
I wish you could see the sadness on my face today, as I mourn her passing. I never was lucky enough to see her perform live.
However, if you ever heard Aretha sing, live, or on a record, you’re lucky enough.
Rest in peace dear Lady Soul.
She was power and beauty and intelligence and passion. Her voice was transcendent. But I always felt there was also a great deal if sadness that she never revealed. She was a force of nature.
