    This guy’s been her bodyguard/friend for years! He’s watched as man after man has tried to “make his career” by latching on to the legendary Queen of Soul.

    I suppose Aretha’s attitude at this point is bordering on how rich men feel: you only live once…so what if she doesn’t love me, I’m getting what I want!”

    Willie, perhaps, doesn’t mind how heavy Franklin is and likes her no matter how much weight she gains. Aretha has said, “I like having a man around the house.” Wasn’t her last boyfriend, the stud, Leon, from Madonna’s “Like A Prayer” video?
