    Default RIP Aretha Franklin

    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.

    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.
