Aretha Franklin - The Queen In Waiting: The Columbia Years 1960-65
Introducing the best of Aretha Franklin's deeply moving career at Columbia Records. Recorded between 1960-1965, these stunning performances trace her evolution as a young artist. Often misunderstood, they are the seedlings that would bloom a short time later at Atlantic Records.
This is Aretha, the gospel prodigy from Detroit, exploring and experimenting and developing her sound and style under the tutelage of the legendary producer John Hammond.
This is Aretha, Minister C.L. Franklin's beautiful daughter, singing it all, from standards to show tunes to bebop to blues. Underneath the polish is a gritty soul about to take flight.
This is Aretha, struggling to find her own voice in the ghosts of Dinah Washington, Billie Holiday and Bessie Smith.
This is Aretha, paving the path to her own greatness.
This is a soul for the ages.
