Man this is bad news.

I have "I say a Little Prayer" (my all-time favorite) and "Until You Come Back to Me" on my Top 100 playlist. Sure, she could belt them out, but she had the range to sing an intimate song as well.

She was the Queen.

Respect. One of the greatest songs ever recorded that most don't know was a cover song.

A true pioneer. What a voice! For whatever reason, with all of her great recordings, my favorite is Freeway of Love. Clarence Clemons on the sax.

I always thought she was good human being with an exceptional voice. May the good Lord bless her with a pain free exit.
