Columbia just didn’t know what to make of birthday girl Aretha Franklin’s talents as proven by the first three cuts of this album. Straight ahead pop, a little country twang then syrup with strings attached. All the while, Aretha is singing with the burning soul that even Columbia can’t cover up.

Robert Forster - The Candle and the Flame

Lee Ranaldo And The Dust - Last Night On Earth

A Flock of Seagulls



I Ran may have been the big single of this album but Space Age Love Song is easily my favorite track.

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.

Depeche Mode - Memento Mori


This is the Amazon exclusive on clear vinyl - the packaging is fantastic and so far it sounds great! Excited to see DM next week in Vegas.

A compilation of previous albums so Columbia could make some easy money. Aretha never looked whiter than on this cover.

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.
