R-E-S-P-E-C-T for sure.
Sad news, but good to know she passed away in hospice with friends and family around...saw that Stevie Wonder stopped in to say goodbye.

And then there is Fox News posting a pic of Patti Labelle and rendering an apology as if it was not done on purpose. That is one disgraceful news outlet.

Aretha was the featured speaker at the commencement ceremony when I graduated from Wayne State University December 1990.

RIP to the Queen

Anyone else think it's disrespectful to trot someone's body around 2 weeks after they're dead? (Unless that's what she wanted, I don't know).

Aretha Franklin was truly the "Queen of Soul." She had an incredible voice and an inimitable style. She will be missed.

Rest in Peace.
