What's Spinning

No matter the arrangements Aretha let us know who’s boss as she sang the hell out of the material she was given. Imagine you’ve been with a company for three years and you are asked to do a tribute album to star from the previous generation. Columbia was clueless.910F05A1-41A8-4799-915A-B34651E14BB7.jpeg
 
Her 8th album and Columbia is finally recognizing Aretha for what she truly was, a Soul Sister. Still singing songs like “Swanee” and “Ol Man River” here but at least the producers are starting to get an idea of her possibilities. 🤪 A year later she and Atlantic Records are off to the races making Aretha Franklin gems, one after another. 8C1873AB-8829-46CA-8CE7-22380557E622.jpeg
