Jan McNulty Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I've heard the very sad news that Aretha Franklin has passed away at the age of 76. She was a true star with boundless talent; her singing just sent shivers down my spine. RIP the Queen of Soul. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Incredibly sad news. It was her songs and those by Dionne Warwick in Forsythe's Love Songs that got me hooked on soul music, and that got me interested in ballet. RIP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Coverage on the BBC News tonight must have lasted the best part of 12 minutes, which I guess is a reflection of what a huge loss it is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
