The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin passes away

I saw the sad news tonight that the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin has passed away. Rolling Stone Magazine posted this tribute mapping her remarkable life - https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/aretha-franklin-queen-of-soul-dead-at-76-119453/
But Aretha is best known to me anyway for making Matt Guitar Murphy THINK in the Blues Brothers - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGXU7268Z50

RIP Aretha!

"Dear Aretha, We will all miss you so very much. With every touch of a piano key every note played sung or heard your soulfulness and depth of feeling no words could ever express we will always strive to get to in how we live love give and play music every night and day. We are grateful to you for being part of our lives and you will stay with us in our hearts forever and always. Love Diana"
