Aretha Franklin has died

[thatsbaseball]

So many of us grew up with her music. Truly one of the all-time greats. R.I.P. "Queen of Soul" .

Sucks she died. But I like CCR’s version more.

 

[Dawgfan61]

CCR's version of what?

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

You make me feel like a natural woman***

 

[Dawgfan61]

Maybe Im ignorant with respect to Aretha Franklin but I can't think of a single song of CCR's she covered or vice versa. Proud Mary was covered by Tina Turner is that what you are referring to?

 

[PineGroveBully]

I assume you're referring to Ike and Tina's Proud Mary, of which I agree. My earliest memory is sitting on the floor by the record player on Sunday mornings listening to Proud Mary and Creedence with my dad as mom cooked breakfast

Well played

Much R-E-S-P-E-C-T for her work

I love some Motown music.

 

[SirBarksalot]

Same day as Elvis too.

 

[msstatelp1]

Same day as Elvis too.

And Babe Ruth.

 

[CougarArcher]

Elvis, Aretha, and Robert Johnson all died on the same day. All were greats in their genre of music.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

I love some Motown music.

Agreed. I grew up on Motown thanks to my father. To hear him tell it, he was the only white boy in Batesville who listened to "The Black Dot on your Radio Dial" & hated the Beatles.

ETA: Hell of a musical loss. I actually hurt worse when Etta James passed. I hope they both rest in peace.
