This morning, Aretha Franklin has passed away at the age of 76

Aretha Franklin lived a hard life she had her first child at 12 years old and had her second child a few years later at age 14

She really never had a bad song and winning all those awards including the Presidential Medal Of Freedom back in 2005 shows it

unfortunately she dealt with pancreatic cancer for several years and is now no longer here with us

one of my favorite Aretha Franklin songs is A Rose Is Still A Rose

RIP Aretha Franklin I hope you are up there having fun with Prince and Michael Jackson
