Atlantic Records – Page 2 – 365 Days of Aretha Franklin

Don’t Play That Song (You Lied)

My favorite Aretha song, including some exclusive audio from 2008.

One of Aretha’s rarest unreleased recordings surfaced this year. It’s a unique must-listen.

Aretha and her sister Carolyn joined forces to craft this beautiful ballad from Aretha’s Atlantic Records debut.

Surprisingly, Aretha makes this a more piano-centric cut than Ray Charles did.

Aretha gets greazy on the opening cut from Soul ’69.

One of the most underrated cuts, Aretha ascends on this dark cut from Sparkle.

Aretha gives James Brown a run for his money on this cover from the classic Lady Soul album.

Aretha reunites with Curtis Mayfield for the title cut to 1978’s Almighty Fire.

In the mid 1970’s, Aretha Franklin’s soaring success began to simmer, and 1975’s You was a nail in the coffin concerning her A-team of producers.

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

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

The title track for Aretha Franklin’s ill-fated 1977 album Sweet Passion is a saga. It’s one of 4 self-penned cuts on the album With Aretha
