This unique collection takes in two phases of Aretha Franklin’s long career: her years at Columbia in the early 1960s, where she was bringing together the strands of Gospel, Jazz and the Blues which would turn her into the Queen Of Soul; and her years at Arista from the 1980s to the present. Showing her development as an artist, and reflecting at the same time the development of the music business as a whole, this is an attractive collection packed with hit songs. 15 tracks. Sony/BMG. 2007.
