Rest in peace Aretha Franklin

Come sempre, quando un grande artista se ne va, RapManiacZ si sottrae ai soliti coccodrilli e preferisce concentrarsi sulla musica. Nel caso di un’icona come Aretha Franklin, morta ieri all’età di settantasei anni, vogliamo dunque solo farvi riascoltare dieci brani che hanno campionato la Regina del Soul; eccoli.
