I just read the other day that she had undergone surgery for pancreatic cancer. She is said to be recovering well from the surgery. I'm sure we all wish her the best. What a treasure her music has been in all our lives.

Prayer vigil held for ailing Aretha Franklin

(AP) – 3 hours ago

DETROIT (AP) — A community prayer vigil has been held in Detroit for Aretha Franklin, a day before organizers say the singing legend is to undergo a medical procedure.

City Councilwoman JoAnn Watson and others gathered downtown Wednesday to pray for Franklin. Last month, the 68-year-old singer announced she was canceling all concert dates and personal appearances through May on the orders of her doctors.

Franklin wasn't at the vigil, but in a statement she thanked the City Council, saying "all prayers are good."

A news release announcing the vigil says Franklin's medical procedure is scheduled for Thursday. A message seeking comment was left with Franklin's publicist, Tracey Jordan.

Little Richard once said at the beginning of a song:

Aretha Franklin is the queen of soul,
But who wants to be the queen when you`re the king of rock and roll
And I`m the king.

It`s obvious the esteem in which he held and holds the great lady.

Love you, Aretha.

I just heard about this - I love her to death, and have ever since The Blues Brothers. And I adored her hat at the inauguration!


Hoping she pulls through, I'd hate to lose another great...
