how old was aretha franklin in those pics in her late 20,s or early 30,s?aretha looks great in 2011 she could still play the role of a 40 year old woman lol queen of soul kids take notes!!!!

[themrduragss]

NOBODY BUT ARETHA! Thank you for your epic contribution to music!

This is a stone singing sister here....she really gets deep down inside of you. Nothing out there in todays music can compare to this level of singing. People today think that just being loud makes you a great singer.

what a WOMAN!!  wow!!

[indure08]

This was L.C. Cooke's song (brother of Sam Cooke) first, but according to the book Dream Boogie by Peter Guralnick, Aretha begged L.C. to have the song for herself, and he relented. A tidbit of music history for you all...
