Aretha FranklinAtlantic Singles Collection 1967-1970

Twenty-five tracks from the most scorching three-year run in soul music history. 'Respect'. Otis Redding's song, reimagined into a demand that became a civil rights and feminist anthem. 'A Natural Woman' builds from intimate piano chords to a vocal performance that makes American history well up. 'Chain of Fools' simmers from controlled burn to full boil. Backed by the Muscle Shoals rhythm section, the sound is raw, muscular gospel-meets-R&B with Aretha's voice placed front and center in mono mixes that put every note three feet from your face. Nine gold singles in three years.
