Aretha Franklin - Lady Soul (50th Anniversary)

Despite the presence of the sweetened single "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman," Aretha Franklin's third Atlantic album Lady Soul is even more elegantly gritty than its two predecessors. Aretha finds liberation in James Brown's "Money Won't Change You" and a revved-up take on Ray Charles's "Come Back Baby", while Eric Clapton's guitar on "Good to Me As I Am to You" stings as much as her rueful, resigned delivery. The album also feature her classic single "Chain of Fools".

Heavyweight vinyl produced by Rhino Records in 2018 in celebration of the album's 50th Anniversary. Remastered from the original source tapes.
