Washington (CNN) President Bill Clinton paid tribute to the "Queen of Soul" Friday, remembering singer Aretha Franklin as a woman with courage, faith and a "breathtaking talent." "She lived with courage, not without fear. She lived with power, not without weakness, but overcoming her weaknesses," Clinton said in his speech during Franklin's funeral Friday in Detroit. Clinton said he and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, considered themselves "Aretha groupies." Clinton said Franklin looked "obviously, desperately ill" and "gaunt," but she "stood right up and said, 'How you doing, baby?'
