Looking back, she was possibly the most listened to artist in the last 45 years. Is there anyone who has not listened to, enjoyed, or had an Aretha song at a significant part of your life story.

I’m sure I would recognise some of her songs if I heard them. I couldn’t give you the names of any though. I’m sure she was very good though. I just never cared much for Soul music.

Kofi Annan has died as well. Wonder if there will be as much air time of tributes to him.

Pretty full tribute on Radio 4 news at 6pm. Don't know how it compared to Aretha (for which auto correct suggests urethra!) as I missed coverage being on holiday in France.
