If there was a female artist in my lifetime more influential than Aretha Franklin, I can't think of who.
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

I was 19 when that song came out. The 19 year old girl being addressed in that song is now 57. Hopefully she has come to RESPECT Aretha and outgrown the Cuervo and Columbian as I have.

Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.

That reminds me of this Eddie Murphy bit. The whole thing is great, but you can skip to about 6:15 to get to the set up for the joke.

Didn't Elvis die on Aug 16th also?
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Fox News used a picture of Patti LaBelle singing in their Aretha tribute. Oops.
