Aretha Franklin : With Everything I Feel in Me Aretha Franklin
is one of the giants of soul music, and indeed of American pop as a
whole. More than any other performer, she epitomized soul at its most
gospel-charged. Her astonishing run of late-'60s hits with Atlantic
Records, "Respect," "I Never Loved a Man," "Chain of Fools," "Baby I
Love You," "I Say a Little Prayer," "Think," "The House That Jack
Built," and several others, earned her the title "Lady Soul," which she
has worn uncontested ever since. Franklin's roots in gospel ran
extremely deep. With her sisters Carolyn and Erma (both of whom would
also have recording careers), she sang at the Detroit church of her
father, Reverend C.L. Franklin, while growing up in the 1950s. In fact,
she made her first recordings as a gospel artist at the age of 14. It
has also been reported that Motown was interested in signing Aretha
back in the days when it was a tiny start-up. Ultimately, however,
Franklin ended up with Columbia, to which she was signed by the
renowned talent scout John Hammond. When Franklin left Columbia for
Atlantic, producer Jerry Wexler was determined to bring out her most
soulful, fiery traits. As part of that plan, he had her record her
first single, "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)," at Muscle
Shoals in Alabama with esteemed Southern R&B musicians. In fact,
that was to be her only session actually at Muscle Shoals, but much of
the remainder of her '60s work would be recorded with the Muscle Shoals
Sound Rhythm Section, although the sessions would actually take place
in New York City. The combination was one of those magic instances of
musical alchemy in pop: the backup musicians provided a much grittier,
soulful, and R&B-based accompaniment for Aretha's voice, which
soared with a passion and intensity suggesting a spirit that had been
allowed to fly loose for the first time. In the late '60s, Franklin
became one of the biggest international recording stars in all of pop.
Many also saw Franklin as a symbol of black America itself, reflecting
the increased confidence and pride of African-Americans in the decade
of the civil rights movements and other triumphs for the black
community. The chart statistics are impressive in and of themselves:
ten Top Ten hits in a roughly 18-month span between early 1967 and late
1968. Franklin was able to maintain creative momentum, in part, because
of her eclectic choice of material, which encompassed first-class
originals and gospel, blues, pop, and rock covers, from the Beatles and
Simon & Garfunkel to Sam Cooke and the Drifters. She was also a
fine, forceful, and somewhat underrated keyboardist. Franklin's
commercial and artistic success was unabated in the early '70s, during
which she landed more huge hits with "Spanish Harlem," "Bridge Over
Troubled Water," and "Day Dreaming." She also produced two of her most
respected, and earthiest, album releases with Live at Fillmore West and
Amazing Grace. The latter, a 1972 double LP, was a reinvestigation of
her gospel roots, recorded with James Cleveland and the Southern
California Community Choir. Remarkably, it made the Top Ten, counting
as one of the greatest gospel-pop crossover smashes of all time.
Franklin had more hits over the next few years, "Angel" and the Stevie
Wonder cover "Until You Come Back to Me" being the most notable. She's
an institution, assured of the ability to draw live audiences and
immense respect for the rest of her lifetime. (web bio) Album description: On the back cover is a collage of photos of Aretha from the cover photo shoot, detailed recording credits and the tracklist.
