Review created: 02/03/08

I purchased this cd for a family member for Christmas. He is a huge fan of Aretha Franklin just like myself and he is very much enjoying this remastered copy of Jump To It by Aretha Franklin. Thank you so much to the seller who sold it to me.

She had a string of hits throughout the late 1960's and early 1970's with albums such as Aretha Now , which included her 1968 hit Respect and her hit 1972 gospel contribution Amazing Grace .
