    Our legends are passing away. Aretha Franklin was bold and brilliant her entire career. She wasn’t held up as an activist, but she was. She not only supported the Civil Rights Movement, but the Black Panthers and other activists throughout the generations. She will be missed.pic.twitter.com/yKUykzmmGj

        It's been raining here in Detroit. I got up, saw she passed in the news. Got my coffee, and parted the windows. I found myself "Lookin out on the morning rain". "I used to feel so uninspired." You will be missed, Queen. But never forgotten. You hold a special spot for Detroiters.

        Grew up listening to the Queen of Soul. Could sing every type of musical genre including opera. Get the video of when she filled in for Pavarotti and killed Nessun Dorma. RIP to a musical legend. https://youtu.be/3gCuyrKVDCs

        She was truly the model for artist citizen. Never frivolous, always powerful, always genuine.

        I grew up with the sound of Aretha Franklin’s voice in my home; Gospel, Pop, R&B and Jazz, she sang it all! I feel like a family member has passed away.. She will be greatly missed!

        You are right. This is how life is meant 2b. Aretha thrived when Black folk, shall we say, was coming out of shells. We fought for everything. We fought everyone, regardless of skin, including Blacks to reach our gr8er than life dreams. Yet We held on to &loved one another bcz...
