My mother rang yesterday to say that Aretha Franklin had passed away (I don't watch the news so had no idea). As a massive fan I've been rummaging through her albums and, man, she's still the best. The music she released on Atlantic Records in particular is timeless. I don't believe in mourning the dead but I do believe in celebrating their lives so let's enjoy the queen of soul:
Still the queen.
Still the queen.
