chris_b Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) Wow. This is sad news. I first heard her songs as a teenager standing in clubs waiting for the bands like John Mayall and Geno to come on. Sad news.

casapete Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I know she'd been ill for quite a while but nevertheless still such a shock - am so saddened by the news. Aretha was THE female soul voice of our time, and she leaves behind a legacy of simply wonderful music. RIP Aretha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebob Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 RIP Lady Soul. I've always been a fan of her late 60's-mid-70's albums, every one a classic. The records will be with us, to be played, and to inspire, for many years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisthebass Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Aretha was the greatest female Soul / Rhythm & Blues vocalist of our time. When they made the likes of Aretha & Otis Redding, they broke the mould... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreadBin Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 As I parked on my drive yesterday evening, 6 Music on the stereo, Mark Riley opened his show with Natural Woman. I had to just sit, listen and shed a tear or two, what a great song by such a legend of a singer. RIP Aretha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
