The best female soul singer - bar none.

From the pop/soul monsters like her versions of 'I Say A Little Prayer', 'Respect', and 'Think' to her wonderful take on Carole King's 'Natural Woman' and my personal favourite 'Until You Come Back To Me', her voice was as pure and soulful as it is possible to be - covering every emotion from A-Z and back again. Her playlist is as broad as it is long, and immense with it.

On his very first radio show after Hillsborough, John Peel played her version of 'You'll Never Walk Alone'. I didn't even know she had done a version of it. He, and everyone listening, was just left bereft after that.

A glass of red wine while I say a little prayer this evening, I think.

A rare talent who inspired many.

RIP Aretha.

I knew she was done for once the Americans started sending prayers and wishes.

Musical great. Sad news.
