BREAKING: Publicist for Aretha Franklin says the Queen of Soul died Thursday at her home in Detroit.
2:57 PM ยท Aug 16, 2018.
One of the TRULY greats. I first heard her on French radio in the early 60s, the Columbia single "It won't be long", very Ray Charles, knock out piano. For anyone thinking she had nothing to do with "jazz", check out her first ever French concert on You tube, or her "Soul 69" album on Atlantic with the cream of Jazz session players. She was extraordinary. One of my favorites, her heart stoping remake of Johnny Ace's "My Song", a 60s Atlantic throwaway B side. Ravishing.
