Recently we lost one the greatest talents of our time, Aretha Franklin, the Queen of soul.

As we grieve, we must remember the mark that the late singer has left in our hearts.

As many celebrities are expressing their condolences for the loss of Aretha, Miss Tina decided to post a clip of Aretha singing one of her hit songs “Ain’t No Way.” Miss Tina explained in her Instagram caption that, “Ain’t No Way,” is her favorite Aretha Franklin song. Miss Tina goes on to explain that a few years ago, she had the honor of seeing the Queen of Soul perform in Detroit.

Miss Tina describes her overall excitement at that moment and visualized for us her screaming about three or four times at Aretha to sing “Ain’t No Way.” Then the story gets even funnier because Aretha told Miss Tina, “ain’t no way I’m going to sing that damn song.” Miss Tina goes on to say that she couldn’t stop laughing and she knew Aretha “read” her, so she did what most of us would have done, which was shut up to enjoy the rest of the show.

Thank you, Miss Tina, for sharing that hilarious memory with us and may the Queen of Soul rest in peace.
