RIP, Queen of Soul.

Kelly Clarkson (whom I adore) rose to stardom by singing Franklin's "Respect".

You know, I just posted a thread about Franklin being in hospice care...perhaps we should merge the two threads?

https://www.13newsnow.com/article/news/crime/witness-fight-about-who-should-play-aretha-franklin-in-movie-leads-to-shooting-in-suffolk/291-584791340

A witness said two men began arguing in a barbershop about whether or not Halle Berry should play Aretha Franklin in a movie. He said one man shot the other outside.

--------

IMH and unshot opinion, Jennifer Hudson would be a far better choice than Halle Berry.

Who is this woman? Keep in mind I had no idea who Chuck Berry was until he died and everybody in RL scolded me for not knowing who he was.

Apparently this is in development.  We'll see if it comes to fruition.

RIP, tho it did get a little tiresome that every single NPR program yesterday seemed to devote at least a quarter of their show to this. I understand wanting to show her some R-E-S-P-E-C-T but I liked best the segments that didn't go for the obvious song to cover.

Stevie Wonder, Jennifer Hudson, Faith Hill and Arinana Grande will sing at the funeral of Aretha Franklin in Detroit this Friday. I wish Kelly Clarkson were invited to pay tribute also, as Aretha paved the way for Kelly's career.
