Queen Of Soul, The
THE QUEEN OF SOUL creates a rich musical portrait of Aretha Franklin’s incomparable run at Atlantic Records between 1967 and 1976. Packed with 87 songs arranged chronologically, the set opens with generous selections from the first five studio albums she recorded for the label – I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You, Aretha Arrives, Lady Soul, Aretha Now, and Soul ’69. Recorded between 1967 and 1968, all five of the albums topped the R&B charts and gave the world classics like ‘(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman’, ‘Chain of Fools’, ‘Think’, and the #1 smash ‘Respect’. The set also mixes in several rare outtakes of songs like ‘It Was You’ from Aretha Arrives and ‘Talk to Me, Talk to Me’ from Soul ’69.
