LIVE: Aretha Franklin funeral service

This is one time I am truly grateful for Modern Technology AND I am able to watch it on an app from my TV! Hallelujah! RIP Aretha Franklin!

Aretha Franklin Gave Us All Something We Could Feel

And Aretha Franklin has died. I am a mess. A lot of great memories doing her music on my shows. 😢 A lot of entertainers owe a lot to her legacy. The music will carry on. Listening to her high energy Live From Paris album 1977 as I write this. I associate  a lot of other fond, familial memories of her. She is like home. Very Detroit, very real, earthy and soulful. She truly gave us all something we can feel. She was a voice for not only women of color, but bridged a gap and became a voice for all women. The voice of a generation. Very pure. The real deal!

D.R.A.G.: Divas Really Are Grand (Archives - Photography by Cassone)

Over the years as an entertainer, I have had the distinct privilege to work with some amazing entertainers on the female impersonation circuit. These cabaret performers and illusionist transform themselves from male to some of the most beautiful females for the sake of performance art and creativity with the use of makeup, wigs, poise, gait and costume to create their character's personas. It truly is an art form, and the more I got in to photography, my co-stars in show have becomes some of my favorite muses. In fact, on my YouTube channel some of their videos are some of the channel's most popular, which I hope will delight my subscribers for years to come.
