Aretha Franklin The Queen Of Soul Dead At 76, 1942 - 2018 Twitter Reactions - Video

The Quwwn Of Soul , Aretha Franklin is dead and has passed away to Heaven. I don't remember when she started being called "The Quwwn Of Soul" but I know it's been her nickname since I was little, and that goes back to the late 1980s. Here are some of the reactions to her passing on Twitter: Paul McCartney Let’s all take a moment to give thanks for the beautiful life of Aretha Franklin, the Queen of our souls, who inspired us all for many many years. She will be missed but the memory of her greatness as a musician and a fine human being will live with us forever. Love Paul Marc Lamont Hill Aretha Franklin was always very kind to me. In that old school auntie kind of way. She would always say how proud she was of our generation. Jorge Estevez A LEGEND HAS PASSED AWAY. Go be with the Angels. May you Rest In Peace. #ArethaFranklin Sen. Jeanne Shaheen Aretha Franklin will be profoundly missed. Her music is exceptionally powerful and resonates with Americans of every generation. She was an unflinching advocate for civil rights and women, and her legacy will live on in her music forever. NBC News NAACP: "The ever-reigning Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin is an iconic symbol of black pride whose music touched so many hearts and souls. As the 2008 recipient of the NAACP Vanguard Award, we know Aretha's legacy will live on and we send our love our prayers. Rest in peace." WMNF-ITM!

Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success.

The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
