The Queen of soul is gone. :meh:

So sad. She was younger than I thought. Too young to be gone.

Unbelievable voice, RIP.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Hello,

RIP, Queen of Soul (BTW, she was great in the Blues Brothers - thanks for that clip).

I don't think I posted here, but I've been deeply moved by Aretha's passing. A legend, it's hit me harder than I thought it would. I really love her body of work, she represents a lot of what makes music a joy to listen to. Anyways, here's her performing fuckin' 96 Tears:

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Pex Lives!

That is a great version, I don't think we'll ever see Aretha's type of perfomer again, sadly
