Good pull, almost forgot her role in Blues Brothers. Been meaning to re-watch that.

She came back for Blues Brothers 2000

I love that in the movie she calls the blues brothers "honkeys" but on some TV runs they cut that word out. I didn't know we took offense to that word.

Sister Ree! She will be missed! Dust off the MoTown Vinyl and relive my misspent youth.

Saw her on the news as I walked past a TV, wondered if she was gone.

She was incredible. She rightly deserved being called the Queen of Soul.

So.....

How long until we can start using the phrase "Dairy Queen of Soul" again? Asking for a disrespectful friend.
