I am a 77 year old gay man retired to Delaware from Pennsylvania with my partner/husband of 54 years. This is my fabulous life.

Aretha
Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul, passed away today. Aretha and I were of the same age. She was part of my life's Journey. She will be missed greatly by many. But she will be remembered forever knowing her legacy will live on in her beautiful music. Rest in peace dear lady.
Though we were all fearing it, Ron, it's still a shock. Now we collectively mourn for the passing of a very great lady - and people of our generation, as well as many younger, will miss her presence sorely. Our gratitude to her memory is immense.
May the Queen of Soul Rest In Peace. Pancreatic cancer, so sad :_( Yes, I am a fan of her music, too. I had tickets to her August 2016 engagement at Musikfest in Bethlehem. I got my money refunded when she had to cancel. (for *undisclosed* reasons)
Joel, I would have loved to seen her in person. I have an "Aretha" story which I will post soon. First I have to confirm the facts with my co-worker. Ron
Ron - her bio is certainly amazing. And I didn't realize she still resided in Detroit. She brought much encouragement and joy to so many. She'll always be remembered as one of the greats. Within that elite subsection of seminal artists. Pat

Pat,
Dinah Washington is still my all time favorite singer but I liked Aretha too. We were of the same age. I identified with her.
