Something for everyone from a Queen
Enough said. The Queen of Soul is well represented here.

PS: Buy the CD, play it on a good system (Like Pioneer, Crown, JBL)

PLAY it loud
Especially on 1, 3, 4, 5, 7 (with Mary J Blige), 9, 10 (featuring LUTHER),
12 (featuring Michael McDonald) The remastering here is a bit on the hot side, but it's fun for a RE-SPIN. Do this before you rate the 59 second samples ) ;-)

Queen of Soul Rocks Again
All hail the Queen!. This CD just shows why she is titled the "Queen of Soul".


Awesome CD
It is filled with great songs and great artists. If you love Aretha Franklin, you will love the duets. It also brought back memories of day past with the oldies. I highly recommend this CD if you like soul , R and B. .


Nice to see Aretha get RESPECT!
I love the fact that Clive used some alternate versions of songs like "Never gonna break my faith" with MJB. Oh the memories! I remember when each and every song hit the airwaves. I also love the alternate mixes of some of the older songs, complete with additional never before released vocal adlibs etc. . .

I always thought Aretha handled duets with a fresh approach to the material, be it good or bad and made the song work. . . for her vocal style. I guess this is why she will forever be the queen. The new duets are off the hook too. I have heard some say that the new material is beneath Aretha and she should leave the hip hop r&b to the kids. Well I've got news for you, this is the new r&b of today, and I think what has always made Aretha stand out is her ability to adapt to whatever situation musically she is delt. There is no going back to the 60's cause then folks will say "why don't she sing something current. " I guess on this note, Aretha has learned and stopped trying please everyone, cause you just can't! I love the duet with Fantasia because Aretha is doing her, even though the music is current Aretha is still Aretha. I think she is recording what feels good to her at this point.

I would also pose the question. . . How many other 65 yr old artists do you hear new music from on mainstream radio? Aretha is also nominated for a grammy for the duet with MJB. I wish Aretha the best! Sing for me like Ella did till the end, when they had to wheel her out on stage. God has truly gifted you.

Aretha Franklin - Jewels in the Crown
She embraces the talents of the various artists. One can never go wrong with anything that the Queen of Soul composes. It shows a totally different side of her. This CD absolutely "blew me away".
