The musical icon leaves behind a simply unmatchable legacy and a record-breaking career

Arguably one of the greatest singers of all time, Aretha Franklin has passed away today from pancreatic cancer leaving behind a legacy that we simply can't put into words.

Over 75 million records sold, 77 entries into the US Billboard 100, 20 number one singles, the list of achievements both commercially and artistically is endless.

Naturally, words and tributes will flood in over the coming weeks, so we thought we'd leave you with some music instead.
