Because She's the Queen of Soul and You're Not
See that “Franklin-ette” closest to the camera? That's what my mom looked like when she'd get dressed up back in the 60s (except my mom would wear that shirt as a mini skirt).
I'm unabashed in my love for Aretha Franklin. Her singing voice has always been so powerful, so pure, I have never been able to do anything but adore her for it. Really, few things make me cry, but there are times when I'm listening to her that tears of joy well up in my eyes and I just let them roll down. If I were ever going to scream “Hallelujah!” and sing happily in praise of the lord, it would be then. That it is possible for an occasion like that to exist at all is a testament to how awesome Aretha is.
Listen and sing her praises.

I had the distinct pleasure of seeing Ms. Franklin up close and personal.
She blew my socks off and I have never to this day seen another woman sing the way she sang that night.
After we had sneaked in we felt compelled to pay the admission she was that good.
I can only imagine.
James Brown and Aretha Franklin were my two must-see performers. Hopefully, I'll get to see her before she loses her gift.
Thanks for letting me know she's worth the price of admission.
