This is one of the best albums I've listened to from the 60's era. Everyone knows the song "Respect", and it is a great song, but the others on the album are equally as good if not better. What makes them so good it they are simple musically and lyrically but the reality is they are so good because of her voice. There is a reason Aretha is called the "Queen of Soul"She is also another one of the extremely prolific artists to come out of the late 50's. The year that she released this album, 1967, she released 4 albums, with 2 of them reaching #1 on the charts, and in the following two years she released 3 more albums with all three reaching #1. Overall she has released 41 studio albums and 6 live albums. Nobody does that or has that kind of success any more.
