ARETHA FRANKLIN: ARETHA SINGS THE BLUES (SPV) ****Friday June 27,2008 Robert SpellmanMany believe Aretha’s Columbia work to be too slick; the emotional torrent that Atlantic would unleash being stuffed into a cocktail dress and required to “entertain”.

More than once the listener is caught in a web of feelings that aren’t easily placed – Drinking Again and Without The One You Love being two good examples. |
