Aretha's Gold was a best of package from the queen of soul Aretha Franklin, showcasing the hits from her most creative period during her first years at Atlantic. (US:18)
"She is without a doubt the queen of soul, the album has a lot of her best songs so anybody looking to get a feel for her music should buy this. Not a bad song or performance to be found here."
"There are those (myself included) who find listening to a greatest hits package from Aretha to be particularly satisfying in and of itself, especially when those greatest hits are truly great. There's just something so satisfying about hearing one superlative Aretha track after another. There really is not a bad track on the album. This is 'gold' from Aretha's golden era. You can't go wrong with it. And if it encourages you to check out more of her work from that era so much the better."
"This is indeed the first Franklin 'Greatest Hits,' since her juggernaut of success took off at Atlantic in 1967. The original vinyl LP version of this title showed up in stores in the summer of '69, and had the queen's photo centred against a suitably gold background. It gathered the first two-year run of Atlantic singles, all of which, with the exception of The House That Jack Built, had appeared on preceding studio albums. As such, it was a wonderful re-issuing of the milestone hits you'd surely worn out your 45 versions of, by then."
"Love me some Aretha and this album does not disappoint. I actually grew up to this album, and have enjoyed every minute and every track."
