This news had become inevitable over the last couple of days but so terribly sad. What a massive loss. Wonderful voice.

Check out the recent performance when she made Obama cry.
Incredible voice.

RIP Aretha. Thank you for the music.
Even more sad because only yesterday a family member said they expected her to get better.
