The choir of angels now have the greatest voice of all time to lead, praise The Lord and join in to sing. Aretha was a preacher's daughter whose powerful voice made her the long-reigning "Queen of Soul" with such hit songs as "Respect" and "Chain of Fools," has died on Thursday at the age of 76, following her fight with cancer.
