Either 76 is a lie or those are the hardest miles I have seen on a woman. She looked old 40 years ago in The Blues Brothers. I remember during her pop revival in the 80s thinking she was some sixty year old coot pretending that young men would want her.

No disrespect to the woman....but that is true.

I think you guys may have missed my sarcasm.
Sarge was implying that all the condolences were.....a bit much.
I just said wait until Beyonce dies if you want to see feigned idol mourning.

You are correct, for example, Terry Boers tweeted that we lost "the best voice he's ever heard" or something to that effect..... :roll:

I'm guessing Boers never mentioned her name in the last 10 years, other than to poke fun at her. Terry, who you crappin'!

The one thing I remember most about her is she always had those giant melon tits hanging out of her gown even if she was overweight. Somebody must have told her it was a good look.

Just caught Franklin doing 'You make me feel like a natural woman' from some Kennedy Center honors thing she did a few years ago at the end of Colbert. All I can say is wow.

I had never delved much into Aretha's career and was blown away when I saw her sit down at the piano and knock it out of the park in that video. Turns out she was pretty much a virtuoso pianist since childhood. She actually went to Juilliard in 1998 to study classical piano...just for the hell of it.

Love this Dr. Feelgood rendition. Her voice, the piano and two subdued instruments.

Beyonce has improved as a singer but Aretha had more talent in her toe than Beyonce will ever have.

Truth but completely unfair

Yo, Dolphin, I'm really happy for you, Imma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!

As long as Urethra Franklin is still alive we're good.
