    Whitney had no soul as a singer. Technically gifted, but no real emotion at all.

    I used to sing this to my little one in the crib. An underrated song from the Franklin catalog.


    I won't use 'RIP' because it is a trite expression for a tedious time.
    May the road rise up for the one and only Queen of Soul.

    I think the outpouring is nice and might bring her some comfort having everyone reaching out. I still think she's underrated and underappreciated. Only two no. 1s Respect and Knew You were Waiting with George Michael - 20 years apart. 20 R&B no. 1s.

    "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" is a staple and deservedly so. Another one, IMO:

    I legitimately think this is the most enjoyable three minutes in movie history. The songs a delight and there is a hell of a lot of funny there.

    The late Matt "Guitar" Murphy could have used some acting lessons. Blue Lou, on the other hand, was perfect.
