NEW YORK (CNN) -- Aretha Franklin was hospitalized over the weekend with an undisclosed ailment and remains hospitalized Monday, her publicist said.

The hospital where she was taken was not disclosed. She turns 62 on Thursday.

"No other information on her illness is available at this time," her publicist, Gwendolyn Quinn, said in a statement.

The Queen of Soul has energized audiences for more than four decades, is best known for her 1960s smash hit "Respect," but she has had countless other hits, including "Chain of Fools" and "Baby I Love You."

Franklin's first film appearance was in the 1980 comedy "The Blues Brothers," in which she performed a show-stopping rendition of her song "Think."

Franklin has won 16 Grammy awards, including a lifetime achievement award in 1990 and most recently, an award this year for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance for the single, "Wonderful."

In 2003, she completed a sold-out nationwide concert tour called "The Queen is On!"

Franklin, the daughter of a popular preacher on the revival circuit, learned her gospel-charged style in her father's choir.

Maybe her "illness" and "undisclosed ailment" has something to with the fact that she balooned up to like 900 pounds.

Or maybe it has something to do with the idea that her doctors don't yet know what the trouble is or that her publisit didn't feel like disclosing the information.

The woman is 62 yrs old and has entertained millions for decades with one of the most powerful voices to ever come along.Show some respect!

Perhaps if she showed some respect for herself and stepped away from the McVittle's we'd be there.

You speak like she's some kind of national treasure, as if she didn't derive fame and fortune for her career. Wrong attitude, imho.

 

[tec699]

Yea, she is a fat skank!

2pac had more talent IMO.

Nah, I think I'll reserve my respect for people that actually deserve it. People that actually do meaningful things for others, not some fat assed singer who sounds like a crow with a pitchfork up it's ass. You give her your respect, it's yours to waste. Mine is more valuable to me.

 

[Pliablemoose]

Sorry, she may have the voice of an angel, but she's pushing 400+ lbs, I call sloth & gluttony...

Oh, but I do have "so no idea". Don't worry, when she dies of her glutonous ways, I'm sure they'll bury her right next to Aaliyah, and you can weep for both of them.

Tard.

Yeah seriously... If it was Britney or Christina in the hostpital with an undisclosed ailment, you'd all be said and saying CAN I GET SOME PICS OF HER IN HER HOSPITAL GOWN! THEY DONT WEAR UNDERWEAR!

 

[Vortex22]

You know what really pisses me off? Every time they have some kind of singing contest ie. american idol or one of a bunch of other similar shows, whoever sings Respect WILL WIN NO MATTER WHAT. It ALWAYS happens, I have never seen a show where someone sang that song and didn't win.

That's what I was thinking.
