Rest in Peace

You beat me to it.

Farewell and godspeed to this black lady who was from when there were still real black people, towns, music and everything was harder but so much better.

She did not have to stay and share in our tribulation.

In honor of two awesome performers -

I love that woman and her music! She gave us many many years of joy and dance!!!

You people are hilarious.
She was a lib, obama supporter, and if she hadn't been in bad health for so long I am sure she would have been out there badmouthing President Trump with the rest of them.

Had she made one anti President Trump comment, you all would be dancing on her grave, but go ahead, keep your heads in the ground.
Same clowns from the Q thread,lol

You can still love and respect a person for their talent and passion, but disagree with their world view and politics.

Jesus teaches love, my friend. And not just love for gun toting conservative Christians.

Romans 3:21-26

21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

If I only love and respected those who I 100% agreed with politically and who matched my own world view, I would love and respect no one...

Honest to God, I thought she died 5 or 10 years ago. Mandela effect?

Awww

She was such a beautiful gift to music. I just loved her.

Safe travels, Aretha. Can't wait to hear you in the Choir Eternal.

but she didn't actually bad mouth our President, and she certainly did have the opportunity ... seems evident that she didn't consider politics all that important

I didn't know Aretha, but I do appreciate the music she contributed to my life ... and her willingness to share it with everyone regardless of their political preferences

Five stars for a RIP to an amazing voice <3

God bless her...she will be a fine addition to rock and roll r&b heaven...RIP

Not a big fan. She could give you a headache. My tastes ran more toward Gladys Knight's music.

Seems like there was a time that entertainers didn't spout their political thoughts constantly. Must have been better.

from a yahoo link...


Franklin was a mother of two by the time she was 14 years old, giving birth to her first son, Clarence, when she was 12, and welcoming a second son, Edward, two years later.
