The Queen of Soul talked to JET Magazine to let everyone know she is "feeling great and coming along."

We do know that after she experienced a very hard pain in her side in Toronto, Aretha immediately called the doctors. She chalked it off to pain from a recent colonoscopy but the doctor disagreed.
