Still the Queen?
Purchased this ten years ago. However I let someone borrow it, and you know what happens after they've had your stuff more than six months, they think they bought it themselves.
So I am replacing it and resolve to no longer let people borrow things from my collection.
Anyway as far as I am concerned this is her best work, mid 60's to mid 70's classics. Those were my young partying days, and we loved us some Retha baby.
This is when she wore the crown uncontested, in the past 15 years I don't know,
names like Whitney, Maria, Jill and Beyonce come to mind. And please excuse the spelling of any of these womens names because I'm not a big fan of two of them anyway.

A Fantastic music albumn. Sung by a Great Woman. This has got to be 1 of the best albumns i have in my cd collection. This kinda completes my soul music by this lovely lady. Her music has a way of entering ones soul, and making one feel so alive. This lady sings from the heart, no doubt about it and this albumn proves it. ENJOY....M.M.

Aretha Franklin, daughter of a famous Pentecostel pastor, inevitably began singing in a church choir at a very early age and it was clear then that she had the gift of a deep, raw talent. Her vocal style, even as a young child, was capable of such immense power and volume. She began her musical career recording secular tracks for Columbia Records, none of which really bought her much chart recognition. Signed by John Hammond at the dawn of the 1960's, he tried invain to nurture her talent effectively. By the time of 1966, all she had released on the Columbia label was a string of minor...

This pulls off what most artists' collections do not. It actually gives you every major hit, that is, up to the issue date(1986). I can live without "Freeway Of Love" or "Jump To It", which came later. I like them also, but I just consider those songs the contemporary Aretha. The classic Queen of Soul resides in this neat little thirty song package. The only thing it doesn't have much of is Aretha's considerable gospel side. But even that gets a taste or two I bought this double CD collection for chump change from a used CD section. I can't believe someone traded it in! This is the most...

To hear (ugh) Clear Channel-controlled radio stations these days, you'd think that Aretha Franklin was a one-hit wonder rather than the greatest female soul singer in American history. (And it's not unreasonable to argue that one can maybe strike the words "female" and/or "soul" from that claim.) But as phenomenal a single as "Respect" was, it doesn't even begin to poke at the surface of the sheer breadth and depth of Aretha's discography. This thirty-song set attempts to scratch that surface, and it largely succeeds, though every greatest-hits collection brings with it a few quibbles from...
