I was just going to post this and saw you beat me. One of my parents' favorites. The first woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Chris Thile of Nickel Creek and Live From Here once called her, "The Greatest Voice on Earth."

Did a jam getting ready this morning with all her top hits as I'd just heard the news. What an amazing singer. RIP. 
Yes, I have a life. It's quite different from yours.

We watched Blues Brothers last night. Ostensibly as tribute, but I think it was also just because guys always like an excuse to watch Blues Brothers.

Any reason is a good reason to watch Blues Brothers!
