Performer: Aretha Franklin
Artist: George Michael; Whitney Houston; Eurythmics Distributor: Sony BMG Notes: Producers include: Jerry Wexler, Narada Michael Walden, Luther Vandross, David A. Stewart, Lauryn Hill. Compilation producers: Rob Santos, Gretchen Brennison. Recorded between 1967 & 1986. Includes liner notes by Bill Dahl. This is part of Arista's Platinum & Gold Collection. A brief 12-track collection of Aretha Franklin's hits from her Arista period (post-1981), Platinum & Gold Collection includes her three Top Ten hits of the era: "Freeway of Love," "Who's Zoomin' Who," and "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)." The compilers use their nine other selections wisely -- with "Jumpin' Jack Flash," "It Isn't, It Wasn't, It Ain't Never Gonna Be," and "A Rose Is Still a Rose" -- but at barely a half-hour, this is strictly a choice for the budget-minded record-buyer. ~ John Bush
Aretha Franklin is one of the most important and influential female soul singers of the 20th century. The daughter of famed preacher Rev. C.L. Franklin, Memphis-born Aretha started out singing gospel while still in her teens in the 1950s, subsequently moving on to jazz and pop. She didn't hit her stride until her string of 1960s R&B hits on Atlantic records--"Respect," "Chain of Fools," and many others--which earned her the lifelong title "the Queen of Soul." Franklin's powerful, emotional voice goes straight to the heart--no list of the greatest voices in recorded history would be complete without her.
