Today, on Twitter, the Recording Academy announced that singers Fantasia, Yolanda Adams, and Andra Day would be honoring the late Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin during the 61st Grammys, this Sunday.
Considering the influence of Aretha Franklin, it should come as no surprise that many took to social media upon the news of her passing to pay tribute to “The Queen of Soul.”
The incomparable Aretha Franklin blazed a trail for countless others and her indelible mark on music is next to none. Her passing today at the age of 76 is a reminder that there has never been a voice like hers and there likely won't be one ever again.
In an era of backing tracks and studio wizardry, only the true talents rise up to the top. Aretha Franklin never needed Auto-Tune or any assistance when it came to her voice, and throughout six decades, she proved time and time again why she was “The Queen of Soul.”
