Queen Aretha's troubled soul

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Rumors have been going around for years that she was a victim of incest

She was deeply jealous of other stars. Recording a song with the Gospel star Mavis Staples, Franklin insisted Staples' voice was turned down so much it was barely audible

C'mon let's face it, she was a notorious bitch. But I love her voice.

Priscilla Presley, Elvis' beard/wife, was just 14 when the couple met.

Fuck the Daily Mail.

Why does this need its own thread? The article is posted multiple times in the other Aretha threads. One day of mourning and celebrating her greatness and now the mean spirits come out to play? I expect a nasty "miss warwick" thread soon. That poster is vile. Anyway these things are not news about Aretha. Her fans are aware of her greatness, her tough life and her nature. We have eyes and ears.

She had pain in her life as do we all. She was able to channel her pain into her work...yes, I’ve heard all the stories about her father impregnating her, the alleged anything goes sex orgies held at his church and all sorts of other things. Maybe some of it happened, maybe not. Right now we should be grieving and ignoring the haters.

It's weird how highly successful people get jealous of others. There must be a word in the English language to describe double standards of success.
