Oh Aretha, we love you so much! Whether you’re 6 or 66, Aretha Franklin is the music of your youth. If you believe in god, then her voice must’ve been a gift from heaven. If you’re not a believer, then you got to be alive at the same time that evolution created one of the finest voices of all time. Regardless, her gifts and talents were incomparable. Plus she was a bad ass activist. She even bailed Angela Davis out of jail!  The Queen of Soul will be sorely missed.

If you’ve noticed, we like to give out free shirts when icons pass away. We did this first with Prince, and then Muhammad AliCarrie Fisher, Leonard Cohen, Anthony Bourdain and more. All folks gotta do is pay for shipping, handling and cost of the shirt. I make $0 profit on these. 

We do this because it’s awesome to literally put a shirt on someone’s back. But we also do it because we figure, if you get one shirt for free, maybe you’ll buy one of the other great things from the store as well (all orders over $40 get FREE shipping). Running a this site is expensive and every little bit helps. Regardless of whether or not folks end up buying other stuff though, it feels really good to be able to give something to people that they really love.

Just use the code “YOUMAKEMEFEEL” when you check out. Ladies’ cut here and fellas’ cut here.

So enjoy this Aretha Franklin shirt and wear it as a tribute to the woman whose music shaped our world, and of course demanded respect.
