Released in 1969, Aretha's Gold is the chart-topping greatest hits compilation that features her biggest hits from her early Atlantic albums: "Respect," "Think," "Chain of Fools," and more.
Original soundtrack to the 2021 Aretha Franklin biopic Respect starring Jennifer Hudson. Features 18 tracks: 17 Aretha Franklin covers and one original, all performed by Jennifer Hudson.
Their fifth album (1985) was their big turn toward pop, incorporating some Motown and rock elements (and star appearances from Aretha and Stevie) with less experimentation. It's also when Annie went bleach blond.
Franklin was in her prime here, not only in terms of voice but also in terms of confidence. Made between her two groundbreaking live records, this is one not to miss.
