Aretha Franklin passed today in hospice care, surrounded by friends and family. She was… she was marvelous. In the sense that she was a marvel: unique, talented, and confident in her plans and desires. I’ve never heard anybody say a bad word about her.
This is, hands down, my favorite Aretha Franklin song and scene. Rest in peace, ma’am.

Farewell to the Queen of Soul. There’ll never be another one like her.

Seconded.
Possibly the best song of the movie, in a movie full of awesome music.
Oh, man, “best song in Blues Brothers” is a tough call.
And I’m reminded that Matt “Guitar” Murphy died in June. too.
