The news of Aretha Franklin's death at the age of 76 has spurred tributes from across New York City and across the globe.
The Apollo Theater in Harlem put a tribute to Franklin on its marquee.
They also tweeted out a photo of the marquee from one of Franklin's past performances.
News of her declining health this week prompted some straphangers in New York to put together an underground tribute.
The letters R-E-S-P-E-C-T were written on the wall of the Franklin Street station in TriBeCa.
Tributes to the Queen of Soul were also posted by many to Twitter.
Franklin sang at Barack Obama's first presidential inauguration.
"Aretha helped define the American experience," Obama said.
"She will be missed but the memory of her greatness as a musician and a fine human being will live with us forever," said Paul McCartney.
"I treasured every moment that we spent together from working in the recording studio, to performing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, or simply hangin’ in the kitchen, & I will miss her dearly," said record producer Quincy Jones.
"Her contributions are legendary both personally and societally," said the Rev. Al Sharpton.
