Today we say our goodbyes to the Queen of Soul, arethafranklin, by celebrating the life she lived, and the gifts of song she gave us over the last five decades. “Aretha is a gift from God. When it comes to expressing yourself through song, there is no one who can touch her. She is the reason why women want to sing.” ~ TheRealMaryJBlige Aretha left an indelible mark on the music industry, and on our souls. May she forever R.E.S.T. in peace. #queenofsoul Photo Credit: gettyimages
