Elton John , por su parte, escribió: "La pérdida de Aretha es un vació para todos los que amamos la música real: la música del corazón, el soul y la iglesia. Su voz era única, su manera de tocar el piano sublime".
Por su parte, Paul McCartney sumó: "Dejemos que todos se tomen un momento para dar las gracias por la hermosa vida de Aretha Franklin, la Reina del soul, quien nos ha inspirado a todos por tantos, tantos años. Ella se habrá ido pero la memoria de su grandeza como música e increíble ser humano vivirá con nosotros para siempre".
