5. A little surprised there aren't more replies.

You know how when you hear someone come on the radio it somehow reaffirms that you're alive and that you're part of a time and a place that was and is still just right, and a wonderful reflection of you? Aretha's been the Queen of Soul all my life, and it's a terrible thing to imagine losing her without giving the universe a good fist-shaking and her a good round of love.

Man, that woman can lay it down. I would NOT want to get on her last nerve. I'd hate to see all that attitude gone.

11. Ina world where untalented nobodies dominate music, she stand out

What a voice. What a presence. As they say, I would listen to her sing the phone book. We will always have her records. One hundred years from now nobody will be listening to anyone in the Top 40 (except for lady Gaga - she is unique). But I guarantee people will listen to Aretha.
