Man... a legend. Such a tremendous talent and major influence on me and so much of the music I love. She was a titan.

If anyone is looking to listen to an album of hers today that isn't I Never Loved a Man..., I highly recommend Amazing Grace.

My father is going to be in mourning for daaaaaays. When Diana Ross kicks it we'll probably have to put him in a home.

Damn. We were supposed to see her at NOLA Jazz Fest the same year PJ was there but she backed out at the last minute and Earth, Wind & Fire filled in. The wife made us leave.

She was the definition of a legend.

RIP

RIP. I was lucky enough to see her at a charity gala about ten years ago. I danced my ass off and so did everyone else. She was magnetic.

Well shit - I was just dancing away with my daughters, the day before it was reported that she was sick I think, to Respect. This is a huge loss
