They knew that they had to do the #QueenOfSoul right, because she would’ve been ready to tell each & every one of us about ourselves if we had her up there looking any type of way. #ArethaFranklinFuneral #ArethaHomegoing
I spent the day listening to #ArethaFranklin and getting emotional more often than I expected.
I have always loved Aretha Franklin. I even loved the eras that other fans would've preferred to pretend did not exist.
In tribute here are my favorite

"Don't trouble the water..."
My mom used to sing this song to me whenever I was upset as a child, which was often. Elvis performed her favorite version.
I loved the original, but for me it's Aretha rendition and it's incredible vocal arrangement .

#Aretha was an instrument of the gods.
When she sang it looked both effortless and all consuming.
Like Tina, when Aretha covered a song the original often receded from your consciousness.
"Spanish Harlem" is Aretha's song.
