Free Music Notes for Aretha's Best
Free Music Review: Queen of soul from the sixties to the eighties
Hit: 5 Stars
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 - only four of her hits made the UK top ten, two of which were duets with Brits.
During her time with Atlantic, Aretha's classic songs included Respect, Think, You make me feel like a natural woman, I say a little prayer, Since you've been gone, Spanish Harlem, I never loved a man the way I love you, Do right woman do right man, Until you come back to me and a very distinctive cover of Bridge over troubled water.
Aretha eventually left Atlantic, joining Arista in 1980. This rejuvenated her career although she never quite achieved the level of success that she had in her early years with Atlantic. However, she had two major international hits via duets - Sisters are doing it for themselves (with the Eurythmics) and I knew you were waiting for me (with George Michael), the latter becoming a number one hit in Britain (where it remains her only number one hit) and America. She also just missed the UK top ten with Who's zooming who - but most of her UK hits in the eighties were minor hits, just as they had been in her Atlantic years.
This compilation, spanning several decades of Aretha's music, clearly shows why she is regarded as the Queen of soul. There are many Aretha compilations to choose from, but if you want one covering her whole career, this is a good choice although the British double CD (Respect) is a good alternative.
