Aretha Franklin (March 25, 1942 – August 16, 2018)
Known the world over as the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin was one of my favorite singers, gifted with an unmistakable and unforgettable voice that never failed to move me.
I had the good fortune to go see her in March of 2018 in what proved to be her last tour. In spite of her age and illness, which forced her to take a prolonged break during the show, she was still mesmerizing and a commanding presence on stage.
Her legacy as a singer and civil rights activist will live on forever.
Goodbye Aretha.
