    Back when the Grammys were worth something and awarded for talent not fame. The Queen Of Soul was freakishly talented. ❤❣️😍

      So the Grammys were prestigious when Artist you grew up with were winning. I guess Kendrick Lamar Lauryn Hill Beyonce Adele Taylor swift and countless other musicians aren’t great or talented😂😂😂 old heads can’t help but be haters

    • @godlygirls62

      @Nomorequestionz62 Again all of the aforementioned are very talented. But Aretha had something special. She had an anointing. A gift that often brought listeners to tears.
      A gift that prompted Chris Cuomo, formerly of CNN to say the following: "if you dont believe in God, thats your prerogative. But how can anyone hear this woman sing and not know there must be a God".
      She had a gift that prompted Terry Gross of NPR radio to surmise that Aretha was perhaps one of the greatest singers of all time.
      She had a gift that prompted her father to tell her as a child, that one day, she'd sing before kings,queens and presidents. And it all came to pass.
      Aretha was so gifted, the Rock and Roll hall of fame, selected her to be the first woman to be inducted.
      May I add, Im a singer. There's nothing the singers you mentioned do vocally that I cant mimic. But there are thinks the queen does that I cant even touch.
      Not to mention, shes the only artist Ive seen who's entrance onto a stage elicits an ovation so rousing, its as though she'd already sang.
      Im just saying.

    She was among the most exceptional singers that ever came out of the music industry before it died. That voice is just unmistakable. She was doing seriously good work from before Motown as a thing. And she certainly was prolific---hit, after hit, after hit. Very first song I ever heard her sing is "Sweet/Bitter Love", and every song of hers became a favorite of mine after that. She will never be gone. The power of her voice and her music live on forever. Nothing that comes out of today's garbage 'music' industry comes even close.

They were playing a gospel tone, my father on the organ my grandmother playing the piano and out of nowwhere my grandmother bust out in the middle of the song, "We going riding on the freeway" made my father so angry cause she would bust out a Aretha song all the time. She loved her some Aretha! Rest in Paradise Queen, you run into my grandmother, which Im sure u have already, tell her I said Hello, I love her and the family is doing fine.
