So sad to hear the news of Aretha Franklin's grave illness. One of music's all time greats and a wonderful advocate for racial harmony.

Hope all true music lovers will "say a little prayer" for her tonight.

    She didn't look at all well in the most recent photographs so, you're right moulesy, I think, sadly, it was expected.
