1. Africa has much nicer places to live than America

2. She would have had it all

3. Imagine the success she would have had in Africa!!!

4. it wasn't meant for her to go to Stax Records….. Atlantic Records gave her musical freedom .

5. RIP Aretha. Consistently great shows from Marc Steiner.

6. You're right. She never actually apologised.

7. thank you for giving me the courage to stand up for my womanhood aretha; rest in peace, rest in peace you brave warrior

8. Excellent video. Rest in Power Queen Sista. Travel well back to the essence!

9. Really like this interviewer and his guests. Felt he genuinely loved Aretha and hope to see more from him. Very upbeat, lovely tribute to an amazing woman.

10. I liked her music. Reducing her to her gender and race is shameful. She had talent, personality, individuality, and soul.

11. Unapologetically human. Can we just see her as the super human she was and not attach some ID to her. I realize the magnitude of her achievements against the rivers of socially imposed stigma, but why must we reduce everything to these labels. Can we just celebrate the super humanness about Aretha?

12. The premise of this video is stupid. Reverse the color and gender in the title and all of you would scream how archaic, tribal, and evil it would be.

13. She wouldn't "cover" a song, she'd own it. Stevie Wonder said, "When Aretha did a song you wrote, she'd take it and won't give it back!".

14. May yah bless her family during this time of sorrow.

15. I had "church" with customers at the drive-thru and at the counter of the pharmacy where I work and the best remembrances were started by them.
    The Love Fest will continue thanks to A R E T H A.
    I love you so much TRN and guests.
    Gratitude to all.

16. Rest in Power Aretha Franklin
