OW | Aretha Franklin (1942–2018)

ARETHA FRANKLIN
March 25, 1942–August 16, 2018


Legendary singer Aretha Franklin died today, August 16, 2018, at age 76 from cancer.

I came across the news during the hour of 10:00 a.m. ET. During the hour of 11:00 a.m. ET, I quickly got this new blog entry going.

This is an early “Open Weekend,” appreciating her music with the inclusion of four videos from four separate decades (1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s) by the Queen of Soul.

Since this thread discusses politics, we can keep in mind her music—and her career—reached stardom during the Civil Rights era.
