Wczoraj, 16 sierpnia, w wieku 76 lat odeszła od nas Aretha Franklin. Artystka zmarła na raka trzustki. Swoje ostatnie chwile spędziła w otoczeniu najbliższych przyjaciół i rodziny. O jej śmierci pisaliśmy tutaj.
Hołd Królowej Soulu postanowili oddać inni artyści w swoich mediach społecznościowych.
Paul McCartney

The loss of @ArethaFranklin is a blow for everybody who loves real music: Music from the heart, the soul and the Church. Her voice was unique, her piano playing underrated – she was one of my favourite pianists. pic.twitter.com/ug5oZYywAz

Aretha Franklin is the reason why I sing from that part deep inside of me that few could ever reach. She was my favorite and will always be. What a gift she has left all of us with her musical footprints. There will never be another like her. She was truly special. #QueenOfSoul
