Aretha Louise Franklin
March 25, 1942 – August 16, 2018
The Queen of Soul
Has passed from this earthly stage
We are all blessed
To have heard her voice
She will live forever in our hearts
And in the hearts of all who hear her
This is the performance
That I have often posted
As my Christmas gift to you
It is appropriate to stop
And listen to this most glorious voice
Perform this most glorious music
Every time I hear this I get goosebumps and chills
It is very moving
Pavarotti was suppose to perform at these Grammys
But could not make it due to illness
In a last minute switch,
Aretha agreed to go on and perform his song in his place
Aretha Franklin
"Nessun dorma"
from the 1998 Grammys

My husband and I were talking about Aretha Franklin this past weekend after we heard the news. We discussed this specific performance and remembered how blown away we were when we watched this live. I had no idea it was so many years ago. It seems like it was just a few years back.
RIP Aretha
