Bill Clinton gave a speech;
‘We started out not as President and First Lady, but as Aretha groupies or something,’ he joked.

‘She lived with faith… she lived with power. I just loved her,’ he said. ‘The secret of her greatness was she took this massive talent, and this perfect culture that raised her, and decided to be the composer of this massive song.’
‘I was so happy when I got here and the casket was still open, I got to think: “I wonder what my friend has on today”.’
‘She cared about broken people, she cared about people who were disappointed… about people who didn’t succeed as much as she did,’
