I’m cringing at the thought of the tributes that may come from this, as there aren’t really any currently visible singers that could do justice to her talent and soulfulness.

I was thinking the same thing. The Tonight Show broadcast the day Aretha Franklin passed featured her music, without anyone singing the lyrics. As fitting a tribute as anyone trying to capture her incomparable voice. They ended the show with this:

Amazing performance.

One thing that I will note.  At her age in this particular performance it was apparent that she never "lost" her voice like so many other singers do.  Again, her genre of music isn't really my preference, but I could still sit and watch/listen to it just about any time.


There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
