RIP to Aretha Franklin-The Queen of Soul

I was so sad to hear that Aretha Franklin lost her battle with pancreatic cancer yesterday. She was rightly called The Queen of Soul music whose influence changed not only soul music but R&B music as whole.

Born in March of 1942, Aretha began her singing career as a gospel singer in church like most early soul singers. She had one of the longest and most sucessful careers of any female solo artist. You can read more about her here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aretha_Franklin
