Aretha (1980) (with bonus tracks)

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 616178) Arista/Big Break (UK), 1980 — Condition: New Copy

Classy later soul from Aretha Franklin – a set that's free from some of the too-commercial modes of other 80s work, but which still pushes the envelope nicely from her years at Atlantic! Production is both by Arif Mardin and Chuck Jackson – the former one of Franklin's best collaborators in earlier years, the latter a great help here on songwriting as well! At its best, the record's got some of the smoother, jazzier inflections that Aretha was picking up at Atlantic in the 70s – and titles include "Come To Me", "Love Me Forever", "What A Fool Believes", "Can't Turn You Loose", "United Together", "Whatever It Is", "School Days", and "Together Again". 4 bonus tracks: "What A Fool Believes (12" Extended Version)", "Can't Turn You Loose (12" Extended Version)", "United Together (Single Version)" and "What A Fool Believes (Single Version)".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
