Aretha's Gold

Originally released in 1969 on Atlantic Records, this stunning array of her biggest #1's and other smash hit singles mostly feature the super group backing band of Duane Allman, Arif Mardin, Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd, Roger Hawkins, Spooner Oldham and Jimmy Johnson. The album dominated the top of the soul and pop charts for over a year. Her songs and soulful delivery illustrate why, over four decades since release, Aretha still is the Queen of Soul.
