Honey, I Need Your Love

Aretha’s first credit as sole producer is one of the bright spots from 1979’s La Diva.

Aretha’s 1973 take on this jazz staple, produced by Quincy Jones, accelerates the tempo to new heights

One of Aretha’s last gospel recordings doesn’t sound very gospel musically, but lyrically it’s all glory to God.

in 1964, Aretha eyed the hits in hopes of having her own.

It was… grace. “Amazing Grace” needs no introduction.

A little-known cut from 1974’s Let Me In Your Life finds Aretha making her way home.

Aretha covered this before Otis Redding. Otis covered it because of Aretha’s version.

Written by Rod Temperton, this cut centers around an infectious, bass-driven groove.

Aretha channels her feelings about her relationship into this Dionne Warwick record written by Bacharach/David.
