Just heard on the Radio that Aretha Franklyn has died after a long battle with cancer, gone but never forgotten

As the late Colonel Sanders once said
"I'm too drunk to taste this chicken!!"
RIP indeed. One of my all-time favourite artists. When they were making the Blues Brothers in 1979 someone suggested her as a guest star and was laughed at because they thought she would never do it. But they contacted her anyway and as it turned out she was desperate for work.
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.
100% legend - Natural vocal ability that comes around rarely. Singer in the true sense of word.
My System:
Amplification - Sansui AU-alpha 707 DR
Turntable - Technics SP10 MK2-Technics EPA-250 Tonearm-Yannis Tome 423.5Plus tonearm cable-Eichmann KLEI Absolute Harmony plugs.
Ortofon Cadenza Black moving coil cartridge-Fritz Gyger S re-tip. Panzerholz plinth.

Speakers - Spendor D7 on Soundcare SuperSpikes
QED Silver Spiral speaker cable-airloc banana plugs
Mains - Ultra Pure silver plated un-switched socket-Missing link EPS 500 silver plated plugs-Hi-Fi Tuning gold plated silver ceramic 13 amp fuses
Her legacy will live on I'm sure.
Without music, powerboat racing, photography and a whole stack of other stuff that floats my boat, life is just a non stop procession of deadlines and bills.
RIP Aretha
