WWE pays tribute to Aretha Franklin

We are sad to learn that legendary singer/songwriter Aretha Franklin has passed away. This is not exactly a wrestling story except that she is known for one of the most legendary musical performances at a wrestling show.

Her rendition of “America the Beautiful” at WrestleMania III has been played dozens (if not, hundreds of times) over the years on WWE programming. She returned for another performance at WrestleMania 23. WWE acknowledged her passing today on their website.

We send condolences to her family and friends.
