“Rare & Unreleased Recordings from the Golden Reign of the Queen of Soul”
This fabulous CD (October, 2007), covers the years 1966 to 1974. It has some unreleased songs, some outtakes and of course some of those familiar classics that did make it onto the radio such as, “Rock Steady”, “You’re All I Need To Get By”, “I never Loved a Man,The Way That I Loved You”, (her first single on Atlantic in 1967) are collected here in this double package.
Aretha (another single name star like “Denzel”) has won twenty Grammy Awards, has had 20 number 1 singles and has gotten tons of other awards in her 5 decades of entertaining her legions of loyal R&B & Gospel fans. She sings with joy, passion, and heart. She’s great!
