“There will never be another queen.”

Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. laments the passing of Aretha Franklin

There will never be another queen. “Jesus, Be a Fence Around Me” My heart is heavy and in so much pain. A lot of music left earth today. The Heavens rejoice. Aretha, my sister beloved and friend with the 4 octave range and inimitable sound, has gone even higher. She had been battling a debilitating illness over the last few years. She fought as gallantly as she sang, with faith, power and dignity.
