1. I love Aretha! She is the Queen!

I heard they were making a bio pic of her. It's not casted yet.

2. Same here, adore the Queen of Soul. Fortunately I saw her

in concert once, she was powerful and so elegant in a white evening dress and fur wrap. Afterwards she left in her long, white limo outside, so cool. 'I Say A Little Prayer' is a favorite of so many.

Last summer she passed Aug. 16, 2018. So sad, and glad you mentioned the 'Respect' movie. Looks like they're searching for a 'tween' Aretha actress to play age 10-14, with Jennifer Hudson taking on the rest. Good, look forward to seeing this one.

3. Can't wait to see it!

Jennifer Hudson is a good choice, but those are some big shoes to fill!

4. You said it, very big shoes. Someone has to & Hudson has a

great voice I believe. What a great lady we had for so long, this Aretha bio will be good. Stay cool SM, glad you got your A/C. It's 101 here today, gah!
