~ Around 1985, we went to an Aretha Franklin concert at a large arena. What a night and terrific performance, she and her voice were even more beautiful live. Afterwards while heading to the car we saw Aretha outside getting into a long, white stretch limo with her entourage. She was wearing an elegant white coat fitting The Queen of Soul. A very special evening & memory that I'll always cherish.
