I just went back and read Mark's post in question.

HOW SAD!

Chas, looks like it will be a duo, unless I can talk Rachelle and Jennifer to join us.

To quote A hero, Senator McCain..."WE'RE BETTER THAN THAT".
Chas isn't the one who should rephrase his post.

What's appropriate is sincere appreciation for the life, talent and humanity of Aretha, both as a musician/singer and as an agent of cultural change that made the world a better place.

Saying anything more would be disrespectful.
