    I had the pleasure of meeting her, a couple of times. She was an extremely kind, gentle person who seemed mostly unaffected by her fame and fortune. She was a real sweetheart - very down-to-earth. Rest in peace, Aretha.....you were absolutely one-of-a-kind.

      Weep just for a moment, for she will be missed; then rejoice knowing that The Supreme being made Aretha's soul indestructible and imperishable so that it may live through myriads of lifetimes and worlds without end. We are eternal beings living through a physical form that will shed off in due time so that we may receive a new improved one infused with vitality, beauty and youth. God Loves us all unconditionally.

    I'm a metal headbanger, but even I can appreciate one of, if not the best soul singers of all-time! What an inspiration to millions or singers, millions of women, millions of African-Americans, and the billions who have enjoyed her music over the decades. Not sure how a person can have a greater and happier life than hers... well done... here's to when we can hear you leading the choir of angels in Heaven. RIP.

    The very first time I heard Aretha Franklin on the radio, the song "Freeway Of Love" was hot on the charts in 1985. I grew up listening to her classics and loved her music ever since. There's just not enough words to describe her greatness. Still in shock...but at least now you've gone Home, and there's no more suffering... Long live The Queen Of Soul! We love and will miss you always!

    I still can’t get it through my mind that she passed away. I remember when I was in 3rd grade, I made a whole report about her. About the time I finished my project, she touched my heart so hard. She has taught me so much and I can’t believe she is gone. She will forever be missed. R.I.P The Queen of Soul.

May God bless her family and all who know that we don't ever have to put our love for her in the past tense. The body is gone but that's not what we love about her. We love the heart and soul of who she is. And that part will live forever as shall our love for her.

    I'm a millennial but i know who Aretha Franklin is, i came to know her when i was watching glee and then mercedes jones sang natural woman, i heard Celine Dion cover of it and decided to look for it on youtube; while looking, i saw that there was another Aretha Franklin cover by mercedes jones which was Ain't no way and it sounded so good, so i decided to look for Aretha Franklins original versions of her songs and then didn't even realized i was already listening to a playlist of her songs, chains of fools, spirit in the dark, i knew you were waiting for me, etc.
    Her voice gave her songs life, like she's telling a story, like somehow you've been through it all, making it all sentimental.
    R.I.P to the One and Only Queen of Soul, Miss Aretha Franklin.

    This is what soul is. Her voice had so much character. As soon as you hear the voice, you know it's Miss Franklin. Back then, brothas and sistas had effortless talents and gifts. They really had to know how to sing. She could do anything, vocally. Miss Franklin is undoubtedly one of the most decorated artists of all time. What an extraordinary career, journey and overall, life. R.I.P. Queen.
