Bio
-----

"Lady Soul" is a high-quality reissue of one of Aretha Franklin's greatest, most important

records, dating from 1968, the midst of the most hit-filled period of her career. It was her

third highly successful, gritty album for Atlantic: She had ten Top Ten hits in eighteen

months of 1967-68. "Lady Soul" peaked at #1, #2 and #3 on Billboard's Black Albums,

Pop Albums and Jazz Albums charts respectively.

Franklin is the daughter of an influential Detroit preacher and her talent was recognized

early; she cut her first record at 14. She was later signed to Columbia, a find of their

legendary talent scout John Hammond, but the label didn't seem to know what to do

with her. However, Atlantic waited in the wings. Once signed by their chief Ahmet

Ertegun, producers Jerry Wexler and Arif Mardin, and engineer Tom Dowd put her

together with a repertory better suited to her soulful talents, and backed her explosive

song stylings with the equally explosive Muscle Shoals studio players (though they

were then feuding with that studio's management, and had to bring the musicians to

New York to record). And they all made music history. Franklin almost immediately burst

onto the Rhythm and Blues charts with Otis Redding's "Respect," still her biggest hit,

though she was to have 20 R&B #1 singles.

This album is a no-brainer purchase, containing her mega hits "Chain of Fools," "People

Get Ready," and "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman," plus several more

memorable takes that show her at her very best.

But Franklin, also honored as the Queen of Soul,is a triple-threat

singer-songwriter-pianist, and she isn't limited to soul and R&B; she can also do gospel,

for sure, jazz, and even, memorably, opera. There was the night she stepped in for the

ailing Luciano Pavarotti at the live Grammy Awards, and, without rehearsal time, nor

even time to get the aria transposed to her key, she delivered a version of the opera

singer's signature aria, "Nessun Dorma," from "Turandot," that brought the jaded music

crowd to its feet. She's won awards and honors too numerous to mention, including an

unprecedented eight consecutive Grammies for Best Female R&B vocal performance

from 1967-1974-- there were people jokingly referring to it, finally, as Grammy's Aretha

Award. She does sometimes remind me of something a choir master supposedly once

said to a little girl: you don't have to sing so loud, God can always hear you. But this

woman deserves all our R-E-S-P-E-C-T, and this album dates from her never quite

equaled early burst of creativity. It belongs on the shelf of her serious fans.


Enjoy!!!
