Aretha Franklin review, available on iTunes

I agree that this collection is great, but some of Aretha’s absolute epic work awaits you on her, "Young Gifted and Black" album. I stumbled upon this album about 10 years ago and it has since taken up permanent residence within my CD changer. I think that it’s only a matter of time before some of the "singers" today, make an ill-fated attempt to cover a single song on this album. Can you imagine Jessica Simpson’s version of, “Young Gifted and Black”, or the inevitable/dreaded, club remix? It would only be more universally insulting if she tackled long division. To sum up, if you're experiencing a vacancy in your Soul Hole, then for the sweet love of fat-back-drums, fill it with this album.
