I was brought up on that Lady's music, bought her records and then played them till the grooves wore through
Aretha: Thank you. I'll say a little prayer (for you).

Such a sad loss. I'm not a huge fan of female vocalists but Aretha Franklin was one of the few that I love. What a voice she had, she could really stop you in your tracks couldn't she.
I wasn't really aware of her until Scritti Politti sang about her in 1985 though.

Why are we so amazed when bygone stars die
They like us get older
And sadly all the fame and worldly goods can't give them eternal life

True, although I'm still shocked at Madonna turning 60 and Simon Le Bon recently becoming a Grandad
