FOR THE LOVE OF THE QUEEN!
With people still wanting to pay their "R.E.S.P.E.C.T" to the recently deceased Queen of Soul Ms. Aretha Franklin and her family even after three days of public viewings at the Charles H. Wright Museum Of African American History. Those who were fortunate enough to have acquired tickets to the fast and easily sold out tribute concert at the Chene Park Amphitheater would be able to still come and honor Aretha for one last time along with a host of her family and close friends. The concert event was almost like being at the Grammy's or similar award show because it was so many celebrities that were there to pay homage to the queen. You name them and they were pretty much there, from Tyler Perry and cast members from his hit show "The Haves And The Have Nots" (one of her favorite shows), Bobby Jones, Louis Farrakan, Regina Bell, Angie Stone, Ray Parker Jr., Raheem Davaughn, Johnny Gill, Gordon Chambers, Keith Washington, Erica Peoples and many, many more.
The event was a spectacular affair that was hosted by The Right Productions with full support from the people of the city of Detroit. But it was adorned with beautiful people that came from all over along with news coverage from around the world. The queen got one last shine in the national spotlight.
THE REEL HUSTLER along with her many other fans, while truly sadden by her passing enjoyed the tribute performances that were filled with joy and positive energy that had everyone feeling good. She will be certainly missed but her legacy will live on through her timeless and priceless music!
This is my life, the life of THE REEL HUSTLER!!!
