Her multi-octave voice moved millions around the world during an unrivaled career that spanned six decades and garnered the singer-songwriter every achievement and honor imaginable. Her reign as the Queen of Soul will play out across four discs on a new boxed set from Rhino that is the first to span her entire career, including songs from every label she recorded with.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the collection’s 81 newly remastered tracks, 19 are making their CD and digital debuts, including alternate versions of classic hits, demos, rarities, and live tracks, like her stunning performance of “(You Make Me Feel) Like A Natural Woman” at \u003cem\u003eThe 38th Annual Kennedy Center Honors\u003c\/em\u003e in 2015. To put Franklin’s life and career into perspective, the collection is accompanied by liner notes written by Rochelle Riley, author and director of arts and culture for the City of Detroit, and David Nathan, a music journalist and soul historian who interviewed Franklin more times than any other living writer. The collection also features stunning artwork by celebrated artist Makeba KEEBS Rainey, who provides her signature style to a photo of the Queen Of Soul taken by the legendary photographer, Neal Preston. Rhino’s new boxed set will arrive shortly before the premiere of \u003cem\u003eRespect\u003c\/em\u003e, the highly anticipated biopic about Franklin’s life starring Jennifer Hudson.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eArranged in mostly chronological order, ARETHA opens with “Never Grow Old” and “You Grow Closer,” which were released as her first single in 1956 by J.V.B Records. Notably, she recorded these gospel songs at New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit, where her father, C. L. Franklin, was the longtime pastor.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe next 10 songs focus on the period between 1960 and 1966 when Franklin was signed to Columbia Records. The music includes her first single with the label (“Today I Sing The Blues”), her first single to chart on the \u003cem\u003eBillboard\u003c\/em\u003e Hot 100 (“Won’t Be Long”), plus the Top 40 R\u0026amp;B hits “Runnin’ Out Of Fools,” “One Step Ahead” and “Cry Like A Baby.”\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe majority of ARETHA is dedicated to her record-shattering tenure with Atlantic Records between 1967 and 1979, which included five consecutive #1 R\u0026amp;B albums. In fact, the first two unreleased songs on the collection – “My Kind Of Town (Detroit Is)” and “Try A Little Tenderness” – are home demos that she recorded in 1966 to give Atlantic executive and producer Jerry Wexler an idea of possible material for her debut LP for label. “My Kind Of Town (Detroit Is)” finds Franklin replacing the classic “Chicago” lyric from the Sinatra version of the song with a callout to her hometown of Detroit. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFranklin’s biggest hits are here too, like “I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You),” “(Sweet Sweet Baby) Since You’ve Been Gone” and her signature smash, “Respect.” But instead of using familiar takes for other hits, the collection selects different versions, like alternate takes of “Chain Of Fools,” “Rock Steady,” and “Spanish Harlem”; live recordings of “Baby I Love You” and “Don’t Play That Song”; and “Think” recorded for \u003cem\u003eThe Blues Brothers\u003c\/em\u003e soundtrack.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eHer early 70s collaboration with producer Quincy Jones is revisited with a trio of unreleased recordings including the Franklin original “The Boy From Bombay” and a stunning alternate version of her take on the Sondheim and Bernstein classic “Somewhere.”\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eARETHA also shines a spotlight on her best work with Arista Records between 1980 and 2007. Standouts from this era include hits like “Jump To It” and “Freeway Of Love.” This period also featured a number of memorable collaborations including “Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves” with Eurythmics and the #1 hit “I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)” with George Michael.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eEven for longtime fans, ARETHA delivers plenty of surprises. Prime examples are the numerous unreleased work tapes and demos for hits like “Angel,” “Until You Come Back To Me” and “Brand New Me.” The set also features the debuts of several television appearances, including duets with Tom Jones (“It’s Not Unusual\/See Saw”), Smokey Robinson (“Ooo Baby Baby”) and Dionne Warwick (“I Say A Little Prayer.”) Finally, the collection rounds up rarities like her cover of Donny Hathaway’s “Someday We’ll All Be Free” from the \u003cem\u003eMalcom X\u003c\/em\u003e soundtrack and her jaw-dropping live performance of “Nessun Dorma.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aretha Franklin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47613882695926,"sku":"603497846238","price":59.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/6162\/2262\/files\/aretha_4cd_expanded.jpg?v=1735232277"},{"product_id":"soul-69-bonus-mono-7-rhino-red-vinyl","title":"Soul '69 + Bonus [Mono] 7\"* (Rhino Red Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoul '69 [Stereo] + Bonus [Monophonic] 7\"\"*\u003cbr\u003e\r\n*“I Can’t See Myself Leaving You” \/ “Gentle On My Mind”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTranslucent \"Rhino Red\" Vinyl\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMastering By Jeff Powell\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrictly Limited To 3,000\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eFranklin’s 14th studio album, SOUL '69, reached number 1 on Billboard's R\u0026amp;B Albums chart and 15 on the Top Albums chart when it was released in January of 1969. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aretha Franklin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47613908943094,"sku":"081227827137","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/6162\/2262\/files\/ArethaFranklin_Soul69_Red_w7in.png?v=1736364152"},{"product_id":"aretha-cd","title":"ARETHA CD","description":"\u003cp\u003e20 highlights from the Queen of Soul's 4CD set including previously unreleased tracks “Call Me” – Alternate Version, “Until You Come Back To Me” – Work Tape, “You Light Up My Life”, and “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” – Live, which was originally broadcast on The 38th Annual Kennedy Center Honors on 12\/19\/15.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures artwork by celebrated artist Makeba KEEBS Rainey, who provides her signature style to a photo of the Queen Of Soul taken by the legendary photographer, Neal Preston.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aretha Franklin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47613978673398,"sku":"603497846221","price":15.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/6162\/2262\/files\/aretha_1cd_rgb.jpg?v=1735233300"},{"product_id":"atlantic-records-1960s-collection-6lp","title":"Atlantic Records 1960s Collection (6LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAtlantic Records 1960's Collection \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis a six-LP boxed set that includes Aretha's first five studio albums with Atlantic, plus an LP with 11 demos and outtakes that are making their vinyl debut.
