Product Description

From Amazon.com

Aretha Franklin's voice is an instrument of such exquisite expression that it has been matched but a few times in the 20th century. Borrowing from jazz, soul, R&B, rock, pop, and, of course, gospel--and accompanying herself on piano--she created an artistic vision that was wholly realized. Hits includes most of her chart singles from those incomparable Atlantic years, from "Respect" in 1967 well into the '70s, as well as noncharting classics like "Do Right Woman" and "Dr. Feelgood." This is the definitive introduction to Franklin's artistry, but be warned: get this and you're going to want more. --David Cantwell

5.0 out of 5 stars Queen of soul, 30 Mar 2005
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Aretha's best work, showcased here, proves that she has justly earned her title as Queen of soul despite some ups downs in her long career. Aretha took a long time to establish herself but once signed to Atlantic, she found a producer (Jerry Wexler) who was able to make the most of her distinctive talents.

Aretha has had many major hits in America although she has not been particularly successful in the British singles charts. During her time with Atlantic, Aretha had two UK top ten hits (Respect, I say a little prayer) and two other UK top twenty hits (Don't play that song, Spanish Harlem). All those hits are included here, together with many of Aretha's other classic recordings for Atlantic, some of which were minor UK hits but all of which did much better as singles in America. These classics include Think, You make me feel like a natural woman, I never loved a man they way I loved you, Chain of fools, Do right woman do right man, Angel, Since you've been gone and Until you come back to me.

With Aretha's distinctive voice and delivery, her cover versions are always interesting. Surprisingly, Satisfaction (Rolling Stones) is omitted, but Bridge over troubled water (Simon and Garfunkel) and Eleanor Rigby (Beatles) are among those included.

This compilation, limited to Aretha's music for Atlantic (her best years), clearly shows why she is regarded as the Queen of soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funky, sexy Aretha!, 23 Jun 2007
By Gulle Bonnet "soul lady" (Switzerland, Europe) - See all my reviews
It's difficult to find new adjectives that can give justice to Aretha's singing;- it's just the most gorgeous voice there ever was, together with an extremely sexy, vibrating, sensuous, expressive way of singing - she beats anyone!
And the songs are the best soul songs ever written. You'll never tire of them. And one is left craving for more Aretha ..................
