Aretha Franklin, an American Icon! I had an opportunity to get a signed copy of 'Aretha Cool' featured on 'The View' authored by my friend Matthew Jordan Smith Photography, in Detroit at ClickCon. Just finished reading the book, so many beautiful moments between 'Jordan' and Aretha...my favorite -- "Boy Don't Touch My Purse" statement made by Aretha during a photo-shoot session. I fell out laughing, as it reminds me of my Mom's and Grandmother's position on their purse, "Don't Ever Touch My Purse"...lol. Anyway enjoy Your day. "Keep Rising".
