No, she would have been 96 today had she lived. She died from complications brought about by her diabetes in 1996 (17 years ago).

I agree with you about Ellla.

However, Miss Aretha is only 71!!

If you open Google and simply type in the word 'gay', and then search when you get the results, you will also get this image.
