View More By Aretha Franklin Our ReviewAretha Franklin began recording for Atlantic Records in the mid-60s and immediately established herself as one of the label’s most formidable stylists after years of floundering at Columbia Records. Her emotional intensity and dynamic vocal range wedded to instrumental backing that understood dramatic tension and groove made just about anything she sang worth hearing. These recordings rarely flag — from the late-1966 demos of “I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You),” “Dr. Feelgood” and “Sweet Bitter Love” that feature Aretha sitting at the piano and freestyling her ambitious vocals, through outtakes from Aretha Arrives, Young, Gifted and Black onward through 1973.

(5 stars) Now, if you are a fan, a true, real live, bona fide fan of the Queen's, this CD set is God's gift to you. This 2 CD set is like getting a new Aretha CD, an Aretha that would flat out wail! The tracks are all perfection. Lean On Me and Pledging My Love are two records that I had in my collection but had never been on CD. I would have bought this CD just to get those two songs alone. But there is so my more, So Soon, I'm Trying to Overcom BiographyBorn: March 25, 1942 in Memphis, TNGenre: R&B/Soul Years Active: '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s Aretha Franklin is one of the giants of soul music, and indeed of American pop as a whole. More than any other performer, she epitomized soul at its most gospel-charged. Her astonishing run of late-'60s hits with Atlantic Records — "Respect," "I Never Loved a Man," "Chain of Fools," "Baby I Love You," "I Say a Little Prayer," "Think," "The House That Jack Built," and several others — earned her the title "Lady Soul," which she has worn uncontested ever since.
