Amazon.co.uk Review
This is the album on which Aretha finds her voice. She'd previously recorded for another label, but this Atlantic debut created the sound that has come to define her. The tracks read like a greatest hits collection: "Respect", "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man", "Dr. Feelgood", "Baby, Baby, Baby", "A Change Is Gonna Come", and the title track. She's alternately pumped full of soul or scraping her inner being to find more. A classic. --iRobert Gordon/i

some of the finest music ever recorded - an unbelievable bargain
My words could never do this album justice. Possibly the best soul album ever recorded. At this price what are you waiting for?

What can you say, just listen to it!brAretha Franklin has one of the best voices, ever. And the way she delivers - out of this world.

Drowning in her own tears
Listening to this album is like being gently punched by an angel, part glory part gory. It was recorded at a time before soul was diluted by money and popular appeal and that shows in the production and the passion - that is sparse and plentiful respectivly. pAretha Franklin was 25 when she recorded this album and everyone of those years shows as her voice displays both tenderness and pain in a breathless display of how soul should be sung; raw and unafraid . The opening rendition of Otis Redding's RESPECT is deceptively upbeat as the album, after this settles, down to a gospel swing that features horns and the occasional hammond. pThe concluding track only proves that Aretha can cut it with the best of her male counterparts, her version of A Change is Gonna Come easily outshining Otis Redding's and coming close to Sam Cooke's original.pThis album leaves you feeling, perhaps, that God has come a little closer.
